Headlight probs
I recently got both my clutch master and slave cylinders replaced on my '86 Vette. I take it to the same mechanic everytime and he usually does a good job. He did what i thought was a good job this time. I drove it the rest of the day, and when night came around i turned on my headlights. They flipped up like normal, but the lights wouldn't come on. I tried turning on my brights to get some kind of light in front of me. The blue light on the dash that normally turns on no longer works. I can't take it back to the mechanic because if whatever happened was not because of him, i'll have to pay for it. Frankly, i don't have enough money to pay for it. Can someone suggest something to me?

Buy 1 new light and replace one side. Check to see if you have lights. If you do, replace the other one. Possible that both lights are blown. :smash:

Re: Headlight probs (Whitvette)
The chances of both of the lights being blown @ the same time are slim. But the reason i haven't replaced them is because when i tried to turn on my brights, the blue light on the dash no longer turns on... is that worth mentioning?

Check your connectors and relays. It sounds like your mech may have forgotten to snap something back together.

Re: Headlight probs (onedef92)
I followed my headlight wires from where they meet @ the beginning of the hood until they went under my driver's side dash. I didn't bother trying to get into that part of the dash... I'm still not exactly sure what i'm supposed to be looking for.
