can't wait to see the new rims. But onto the lights. So even after you turn off the switch for the headlights, they stay on? seems like a short somewhere. when I installed my OEM HID's I didn't have them installed on the car either , and don't remember this happening.

When was the last time the lights worked right?

TLW

thanks for the reply..

God...last time the lights worked...????? Maybe around sept-oct of 2005

I cant be sure...for some reason I dont think it's a short ...but maybe

Did you check the relays, and wires going into the lighting stalk? If you've ever tried to mod you're lights... like the fog light mod on Banana GS's website, the wires sometimes get loose, and constantly harassed by the motorized steering column (that’s what happened to me.)

I can relate Johnny... last time I went to the body shop, I started the car and EVERY idiot light on the dash was lit up (except for the oil light, which went off quickly... thankfully). I guess if you remove all the lights, glass, door panels, etc. from a car it sort of ... freaks out.

Check the fusible links and fuse box. Hopefully nothing is fried!

Can't wait so see your masterpiece!

Are the lights turning off after the car is turned off?. My lights go of about 15 sec after I turn the car off and lock the doors.

I know this sounds stupid, but check the trunk and the gas doors. If they are closed, pop them and close them again. I noticed that when the trunk is popped the lights will not turn off at all. It's silly, but sometimes it's the little things...

e-man

Great suggestion.

little searching here and there....i think it might be a relay ...when i pulled the relay out, the lights when off ...possible stuck relay

thoughts ??

Is there a smiliar one somewhere else in the car that you can switch out?? I had a problem in my old SC and only found out it was a relay by switching it with a different one in the car.

Good Luck J

Well I was going to recommend about closing the trunk too!
I had that happened and must've pushed the remote a million times before realizing I didn't close the trunk

I didn't know about the gas cap?
