Right on thank you. Unfortunately living in Canada eh I won't be able to try it till spring due to high volume of snow and not being able to access it in storage. You know how this happened, previous owner had put in a manual toggle switch to activate the induction flaps and said that if I hook power up to the switch the flaps should work. Well I did that and not only did the flaps not work, it fried the headlights. Damn eh. I did check the power wire to the switch and nothing. I changed the switches out anyway though cause they were cheap. Can't wait til spring! Thanks again !

 

More than likely he didn't fuse the toggle switch, and it took out the fuseable link. Probably something dead shorted in the system. Lucky the link was there, or the whole car could have gone up in smoke!

 

X2 on 1971BB427's comments, probably a fuseable link.

However, I find when tracing a problem and your test light is making you question, go about tracing the problem in reverse . I have a cheap little 12 volt SLA battery I use just for such things, and eliminate problems starting with the problem itself. (Assuming the test light has already made hair stand up on the back of your neck with no soloution), disconnect the car battery, wire up a pos/neg lead from your SLA battery and begin at the headlamps. Do they light up? Yes, then go down the lines to the high/low beam switch, disconnect it, plug in yoiur leads and see if they light up. If no, then you at least isolated your problem, and so on, and so on.

I quite often overthink small problems, and have to go back and try to keep it simple. This is one example.

That and I have a personal hate for test lights. I drove myself nuts here a year ago on a problem, only to discover my test light wasn't working. I'm not sure which neighbors yard it landed in.

 

lol. When testing your circuits, be sure to test the test light first! I prefer a meter though.

 

I personally love test lights. (if they work!) I use a good Fluke 97 for a lot of work, but a test light is so much faster, and nice for quick troubleshooting. I keep a test light in the glove box of all three of my vehicles, just in case I have an emergency to check.

 

what sort of options are out there for a 95 z28 headlight conversion? halos would be nice.

 

You should ask the question in the 4th gen section. I doubt many guys in this section know options for your '95 headlights.
