Please Help. Having Issues Installing Leds in Clear corners?
I just installed a xentec 35w 6000k hid kit with resistor and it worked perfect, buckets went up and down, until i installed a hyper flash fixer along with a 60 led switchback and a 13 count led for the corner light. The 13 leds for the corners didnt work, I tried both ways. Now my buckets wont go up or down, tail lights are out, corners and drl s are out, but blinkers work and the hid lights work. What went wrong? I also upgraded the two 10 amp fuses to 20 amp fuses. So I am at a stand still with my car and have no lights and need help. thanks

I just checked the #6 fuse and its good, I also put the 10amp fuses back in and removed the hyper flash fixer, It started raining so I had to stop but Im going to go back to stock with the headlights to see what happens. My dashboard lights are out to. This sucks. Is there fuses I am missing besides the one under the hood?

I removed the 20 amp fuses and went back to the 10 amp fuses. I hope I didnt mess the wiring up, I dont want to have to go to the sucky dealer. The problem happended before I changed the fuses out, when I was trying to put the 13 count led in the corner light which didnt light up, it seemed like right after that everything went out, but all the fuses are good. Thats when I tried to swap to bigger fuses.

danrowz, with this schematic and a voltmeter, and you should be able to find your park lamp problem without taking your newly installed stuff off. The symptoms you described are mostly caused by fuse #6 in the instrument pannel fuse block, or the Multifunction Switch.

thanks alot byron. So is there only one fuse box, thats under the hood? Or is the instrument panel fuse box under the dash or something? Im pretty good with electronics, but I dont know if Im that good. I can test the sockets with a volt meter, but if im missing the instrument panel fuse box that might be my problem. Its raining like crazy near me so i wasnt able to check it out, but thanks for info
