Aftermarket projectors not working

[AAPOQ]

Hows it goin fellow tuners. I bought a set projector headlights about a year ago and now one of the low beams won't come on. I replaced the bulb with no luck, did not fix it. My question is do you think I'll have to disassemble and rewire? All my other lights work and I'm pretty sure I'm answering my question. But I wanted to see if anyone else ran into this problem. And I know I shouldn't have bought ebay projectors but I really like them. Thanx in advance

It has nothing to do with the headlights/projectors... they're just plastic and glass. The problem is in your wiring.

There is wiring in the headlight assembly beyond where stock harness plugs into, I guess I'll have to get out the tester and see where the problem lies

Really? That's kinda strange... I've owned aftermarket projectors before (though never installed them.) It was just a piece of plastic/glass that the bulb plugged into, no differently than the stock housings.
Is the projector wiring between the stock harness and the bulb?

The projectors use h1/h3 bulb so it has some wiring to adapt the 9006 to it.

If you're using an HID conversion kit, check the ballasts. I had one fail in a conversion kit I put in a motorcycle and it drained my battery dry and tried to set itself on fire.

They aren't HID's, I'm going to post pics this weekend if I get a chance..

you have a ground issue with those h3 bulbs. if you wiggle the bulb and it comes on you found your problem. ive dealt with many of those cheap ebay lights and thats always the problem. get rid of them.

I want some nice one piece lights but they're really expensive, I might just use my projectors and make some DIY lights.

atleast put stock lights back in. those 'ebay projector lights' cause nothing but problems.

Have you checked the relay?

im doing my retrofit now lets hope this does not happen to me in a year or two.

[djcaz_aom]

Why would it?

[AAPOQ]

I have not had a chance to get pics yet, sorry guys. I might just give up and find some nice one piecers instead

I have the projectors that are commonly found on ebay, the connectors on them are crap, and the glue they use to hold them on even crappier. I would take a look into the connection for the low beam, as maybe one of the pins isn't going all the way in. Other then that, and the little running lights between the low beams and high beams that came with them burned out in less then a week, I don't have any qualms, but I do plan on replacing them in the future. I just needed a cheap fix after my cb was in an accident, plus they look good imo on my car.
