Default Headlights will not work after LED interior changeover

Hey guys, got a quick question for you all...

I recently tore the whole dash apart and did the LED mods. However, upon putting the IPC back in the headlights now no longer work. They will not flip up and the low beams will not come on. The high beams will work when you pull back on the stalk. turn signals work fine, the DRL's cut off when you turn the lights on as they are supposed to, and the fogs work fine as well.

Any ideas what the heck could be causing this. It's also worth noting that I have been having some problems with the battery staying charged. I know I've read here that sometimes a questionable battery can cause funny things to happen.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

-Mike

ok I pulled out the instrument cluster and giggled the connections around and I don't know what I bumped but the lights came on for a few seconds. Does anyone have a diagram for what wires are what back behind the IPC? I'm thinking there has to be a loose connection somewhere.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate electrical problems?

I'd maybe ask tstar. He's done a lot of these and I'm sure he's seen his share of gremlins.
