    Problem w/ Passenger side head light.

    I recently installed an oem factory harness from a 1997 accord to wire in my fogs. When it was all said and done, I noticed that my passenger side bulb was fried to shit. So I replaced it with a new bulb, and no action. The bulb is good, and my passenger side high beam came on. I also quickly check the head light fuse, it was ok. Imma rip my car apart to search for the problem. Any suggestions of what the problem is would be greatly apprciated.

      I don't think so; I followed the directions exactly.

        I think I may have found the problem. I forgot that I popped one of the H3 bulbs, so my passenger side fog has no bulb in it. If the circuit is a series, then my passenger side headlight would not come on until I place a bulb in there. Does anyone concur with this?

          A series set-up is basically a daisy chain, so yep. That could be the problem.

            cars never run lighting in series, always in parallel, for that very reason - if one bulb blows it doesnt take out the other

              Yea that's true, but he did say that his way set up in series. Why it would be like that, I dunno, but he said it was though. But I would deffinately look for a hot wire to be touching somewhere in the system though.

                I don't know if they are in series. It was just an idea that I thought about. I don't know if that is the problem.
