Ah yes, that's the one. If it's easily reversible I'd undo it for now and re-test all of your leads for power. Check your fuses in case something got shorted out in the process. Make sure you've taped off the leads for the high filament of the low-beam bulbs, these won't be used. -
Link fixed. It's a picture of bridging the gap from one relay to the other instead of opening up the fuse box.Leave a comment:

I don't think you meant to post that link. Perhaps you could describe exactly what you changed? When I did the conversion there was only one jump necessary, and that was to keep the lows on with the highs after the swap was completed.Leave a comment:

Okay, so I took the high and low beam relays from an '86 eS parts car and plugged them in (without the jump) and now I can't seem to get juice to anything, high or low. I started the car to make sure the battery isn't low.Leave a comment:

Looking for opinions-Sealed beam/smiley swap issue
I really hope this isn't on here somewhere....but I didn't see it. Alright, I'm FINALLY doing my smiley swap after having the parts for months, and the process is pretty familiar to me at this point. Instead of moving the wires around under the fuse box, I decided to jump the pins exactly like this: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...0&postcount=13
That's not my problem. Before I cut any wires, I tested all four plugs with a light to make sure things were making sense. Both the low beams worked when I jumped brown-yellow, and their high beam worked when I went brown-white/blue. The high beams worked as well.
Then I cut the old plugs off. From that point on, I haven't been able to get any successful test lights on either low beam. I have gotten the high beams to work consistently. I tried before and after twisting the pigtails from the Euro plugs on, and I tried moving the plug wires around in case I had things mixed up.
I finally decided to move on, so I drilled the holes in the two pin #30s in the relays and connected them. Now, neither high nor low beams work with the high beam switch on. This is leading me to assume that somehow I fried the low beam relay? I haven't tried another yet, but I will tomorrow.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Again, sorry if this is already here somewhere.Last edited by ELVA164; 03-17-2013, 01:34 PM.Tags: None
