Headlight help
 
My HID driver side went out. I keep blowing my low beam driver side fuse. I checked the bulb and ballast by swapping everything around, no go still don't work. Everything else on the headlight works fine. I have no idea what else to do. I read something about swapping the left and right relays to see if it's the relay that's bad but I have no idea which ones are the right relays also if anyone has any other ideas what it could be. I am mildly knowledgable about electrical stuff but I take direction very well. 😁. Any help would be appreciated.

If you keep blowing fuses then your shorting out somewhere. Run through your harness and make sure all your wires are connections are good.

I didn't see anything obvious when I was working on it last night. Everything seemed to be in good order. The only thing I could think of is I guess the previous owner had halo headlights because I see little red what I think are quick connects right at the base of the harness? Could that cause the short even though there's nothing attached to it.?

anything could cause a short. If you unplug the wires altogether see if it still blows fuses or not

If the wire has power then yes it potentially can be a short, Also if it isn't sealed properly the wire can corrode causing high resistance in the circuit and/or could potentially break from being so weak from the corrosion.

I unplugged the whole harness and no fuse blew I also just unplugged the head light and no blown fuse. Does that mean the headlight harness is a bust and I need to buy a new one splice in to fix it? Or is there something else I can do?

try plugging in just the harness not connected to anything and see what happens.
