bad fuse for the headlight?
 
i was on my way home from fremont and went over some really bumpy roads, my stance GR+'s are set to stiffest so it was a really rough ride. my headlights went out and they also refuse to close.. so my question is would a bad headlight fuse in the engine bay cause the headlights to not flip up and down aswell?

Yes, there is a fuse in the engine bay that controls the retraction of the headlights, but there is a separate fuse to control the light bulbs.

its behind the foot rest on the driver side in the fuse box there is a cover with all the fuses listed or if you are missing the cover then check the FSM

yea i checked that, which one is it under?

jake1191 04-10-09 04:51 PM

i would try illum. if that fails you could replace all fuses with new ones like i did just for good measure
