I recently installed H1's - they were dusty barn find condition, but very much diamond's in the rough
I plugged them in w/ the JWest pigtail adapters (4prong harness to 3prong light) and they worked fine, maybe tad bit dim
disassembled them, cleaned them up and they turned out spectacular - just a simple dusting returned them to excellent condition
I cleaned the contacts and plugged them in, and blew both 8amp fuses
high beams work fine
my hi/lo stalk had been wonky for years (copper contacts not touching right and lo's would turn off over bumps, despite my fiddling w/ them)
so we metered the harness yesterday and all was fine
connected each light to the battery and they lit up
swapped out the stalk yesterday (what a colossal arsefukk that was!) figuring it had to be that (tho not sure why suddenly as it'd worked in wonky mode for over a year)... blew both fuses
I'm pretty frustrated as this is now beyond my skill set (limited), and I depart Thurs for der 'PALOOZA and the thought of having to go running just fogs for lows sucks nads
can anyone please try to help me figure this out?
I figured it had to be a ground issue but like I said I cleaned them... and they weren't bad to begin with actually.
