Ok here is the deal. Neither one of my headlights work. My turn signals, and all lights on the tails work. I can hear the light switch on but nothing happens. I checked the power at both bulbs and its there. The car has 97+ fogs wired into the driver headlight (came that way). I cant just pop out the bulbs and check for new ones since i am running d2s bulbs in my audi tt retrofit.
I searched with no luck. I checked fuses in the main box and kick panel to no avail. Help me out fellas
...oh high beams work so i can drive home like that, but i need this resolved asap!

I was searching for answers while texting Mark we have come to the conclusion that it's the relay or an issue with the factory harness and voltage drop issue since he's running both hid fogs and headlights off the factory relay and wiring. Leaning towards relay since he said the car was running like ish and I found a post saying that all the relays are on the same ground circut and if one goes it can cause drivability issues.

No need to make a harness:

I'm willing to bet that your ballasts are probably fine, but just underdriven right now. Get that harness in, and you should be fine!

Anyway i used a test light and i get power to the bulb plug. I dont get power out of any of the 4 hid ballasts. Even after the DDM tunning harness install. If the relay was bad would i not get power to the bulb plug? Oh i should note that one side of the bulb plug when switched on is bright (with test light), the other side is faint (low voltage is my guess).
Can anyone chime in here?

So me and cameron (sw2uz) did some trouble shooting today. It seems like my headlight ground isnt there. I am getting a tad over 12v from both terminals when grounded to chassis. So I am going to run new wire from the fusebox to the headlight plug, insulate them a little better. Im also going to run the fogs off the sidemarkers with a relay and use a 3500k bulb to get the yellow fog look.
After that time to re wire the cluster to fit the 98sc400 cluster i got on the cheap!
