Hey kids. It's been a long time since I've posted in here. Long story short, I bought an e30 back in April. I did a good job at not modding the car since then until I recently came across a great set of euro ellipsoids for cheap and snagged them up.
Anyways, so I was working on installing them tonight. I cut the old connectors off. I crimped the brown wires together (ground) on all 4 connections. On both of the low beams, I crimped the yellow/blue wires together on the low beams. And I crimped the last remaining wire on the headlight side of the high beam to both of the blue/wht wires on the body side for the high beam.
One of the bulbs was bad, so I tossed it. I got both the high and low beams to work on the drivers side headlight, but nothing on the pass side. I figured that since I had triple-checked everything that maybe the other bulb was also bad. So a friend of mine gave me some ricer h1 bulbs to put in my high beams to hold me over. I put the good 'normal' h1 in the high beam into the low beam on the pass side, and put the ricey bulbs in the high beams. The pass side still doesn't work and now the drivers side high doesn't work.
I'm guessing that since I know the bulb for the pass low is good, that I have a bad connection. And I'll go as far to speculate that my ricey bulbs just might be bad too. Anyone have any suggestions, any opinions, anything?
I guess tomorrow I'll go buy some more H1's and reconnect everything. Hope it works. :?
