so i recently got into an accident, and now my headlights do not illuminate as bright as b4. does anyone know of any fix, and i have changed the bulbs out and still no change... thanks for the help

have you made sure you still have a good ground connection and no problems with the power wires to the lights?

i've been working unbelievably too much these last few months but its just now starting to slow down, but i haven't even had a chance to look under her hood since the accident.. so i was wondering if you could point out where the grounds are for them, it would be much appreciated, unfortunately since i'm in the military this will be the first weekend i get off in a LONG time, so i'll take advantage of it by taking some TLC to my lil hoe

Chong, nice to see you again in the forum.

I agree with 96, it sounds like a potential grounding issue. check the wiring to the lights and make sure they are grounded properly. also look at the fuse area and double check that somethig wasnt jostled loose n the accident.
btw, what hapened?

thanks, did know somebody was gonna miss me, lol but yea i actually asked for tomorrow off and got it! but i was driving down the highway and hit a patch of black ice at about 75mph and went into a whirl, well long story short since it was only a two lane highway with barricades on both sides i smashed into the one of my left and slide down it a bit, luckily i didn't hit the old lady next to me, the 360 was pretty controlled, ya know until the point i hit the barricade at a 45 degree angle : |

ok so on my last day off i looked into it and i didn't manage to find anything out of the ordinary. : ( i guess i'll have to take it to someone who has a lil more knowledge in the wiring department

my headlight was cracked when i got it so all the water and crap from the road got inside the casing and ruined all the mirror/projecter crap inside and now the light is as dull as can be. so make sure this didnt happen or youre just going to have to a whole new headlight casing.
