Headlights won't work

[skeptic_]

I can't seem to find the problem but my right side of my integra headlights won't work. Pretty sure its due to wiring as the bulbs I have checked work because i tested it on the other side. Pretty sure its not the fuses as it is still intact and not blown.
Any help?
If anyone knows any good auto electricians ?

Seems like you already know the problem.

[dougie_504]

Is it dirty/greasy (the loom)?

[EKVTIR-T]

Is the socket corroded? There might be a build up of corrosion or foreign material in the socket

[Bludger]

did you change fuse anyway?

their appearance can be deceptive sometimes.

Ya mine was packed with gunk the other day. HL was out, globe looked good, worked in opposite side, so just WD40'd the socket and all fixed.

I'll Check the socket to see if its corroded or have any gunk in it. It looks abit greasy.

Btw whats the loom? I'll check it when i get back from work

Thanks

so why would you WD-40 the socket by the way?
Is the socket that one that powers the globes? that you attach and detach ?

[trism]

Because the WD40 cleans out all the shit from the socket.

I actually used de-greaser. My mistake in earlier post. WD40 might do the trick though anyway.

Can you tell me which is the socket?

You did not mention you have a dodgy HID setup.

makes things a little more complicated.

You need to check the ballast.

U might want to also check your Headlight L/R relays.

Contact could be stuck or the coil inside has had it.

my HID lights are not the problem though. Cos I've tried putting my normal stock globes which are yellow and nothing happened. I tested it on the other side and it worked fine. I think I might just book an auto electrician to find the problem

Lol?
I think I'm doing something wrong.

Dude.

As bludger said .. Ur HID ballasts could be the culprit.

Even though u tried the bulb on the otherside and it worked... Thats bcoz the ballast on that side works.

Best thing to do is just remove the ballast completely frm both sides. Its easy as they are mostly plug and play ...

Once removed, then put your standard H3 bulbs back in and turn on the Headies... Then report back.

he said he bypassed the fail HID kit and used the stock globes and it still doesn't work.
facepalm @ you.

We told him to check the sockets and spray them with a cleaner..
he hasn't done this yet, facepalm @ him.

[Bludger]

but if he is posting pictures asking what wire he should look @, he should just take it to auto electrician.

Yeh u could be right

Prolly just dirty plugs or loose connectors.

Trace the wire with the black plug that connects to your HID bulbs. = check this plug.

Now trace the other plug that connects to your ballast which is not pictured = clean this plug too.

[skeptic_]

See the second picture that is the plug that powers the lights I'm assuming I have to clean that and give it a tug here and there? I'm assuming that's what everyone means socket. I unplugged it yesterday and was about to clean but feared it wasn't the correct one to clean so might try buying a new plug from the store.

[skeptic_]

Reason I havnt cleaned the sockets yet is trying to identify which is the socket. Pretty noob at this sorry.

If r saying that u cant identify the bulb sockets, HID sockets etc, and u want to just buy new sockets.. Which u dont knw what sockets to look for to begin with,

Then i believe no one here can help u mate.

Book a auto electrician to solve your problems.

Otherwise if ur in syd, I can sus it out for a fraction of a $$$.

why not clean all of them?

[dougie_504]

Disconnect the bulb and clean the wire plug that attaches to it.

Make sense?

Just try something if you **** it up you'll learn for next time.

[skeptic_]

True that hahaha, i'll clean it out cause of this horrible rain we have been having!
