Working on installing OEM STi headlights on my '04 WRX but having issues. I have the Lightwekrz harness all plugged in to what I think is correct. High beams work, blinkers work, but no low beams. I've attached pics below of what everything looks like. Can anyone help?







Can anyone tell me if the picture above is tapped correctly? When I turn the switch to turn on my low beams the red light on the relay comes on but no light output

If anyone has done this install before and would help me out, I'd be more than thankful! Will provide beer if need be!!

 

I never dealt with the Lightwerks harness before. But why is one harness plug (the one that has t-taps) not plugged in?

 

That harness originally plugged into the low beam housing on my WRX lights. The STi headlights doesn't have a housing for it to fit into

 

Bump.

 

Is your ballast getting power?

 

How exactly could I check for that if I don't have a volt meter?

 

Lick your finger and stick it into the plug, you can feel the power!

 

Only light that comes on when I turn the lowbeam switch on anyone near the Lincoln area that could help? I'll provide you gas money or beer!

 

are the bulbs faulty...? is it a fuse?

 

They shouldn't be faulty, they were working just fine for the guy who sold them to me. However, I'm not 100% sure.

 

Will provide gas money to anyone that has done this swap before and willing to come help.

 

Have you tried calling Lightwerkz? Even if you bought these used, I would hope they can at least steer you in some sort of direction...

 

Yes, I've been in contact with Lightwerkz. Not much help..

 

Who wants a free case of beer or gas money? Come to Lincoln and help me fix this problem lol.

 

For starters, the taps you are using are crap. so are the circular ones. Take the time and do it right the first time. as you can see you still spend the smae amount of time if not more if you cheap out on it. I would not be surprised if one of your taps didnt make a connection. that AND the fact that u dont havea DVOM, you kinda set yourself up for, not failure, but a PITA in the end.

Go out, buy a solder and use regular resin solder. pick up some smaller heat shrink tubing, grab a lighter. literally cut your OEM wires and Lightwerkz harness. slip heat shrink over one end of wire, strip back some insulator, and twist fibers together for a stronger hold. solder connection. slip heat shrink over exposed copper/metal and use lighter to shrink the tubing onto the connection. there, you now have rock solid connections. If the problem still is there, bad ballast, bulb, fuse, ground, wire....BUUUUUT you wont be able to find out if its either of those without a DVOM. hope i helped
