Problems getting lowbeams on/Lightwerkz Harness..
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!!

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
