Headlight and Radio Issue

Could be. Don't forget to do something about those wires. If you can't replace them, get either liquid electric tape or, better yet, a can of plasti-dip (not a spray can, but the liquid dip for tool handles) and slather it on them for protection.

Got my left headlight working. Went to home depot and picked up plasti dip. Came back and tested the receptical on the left and had no power to the low beam. I remembered I had only tested the high beams before. Tested the left low beam and had no power on one side of the fuse. Replaced it and it is working well. I will still put the plasti dip on it. I am thinking I will go ahead and put the LEDs back in, when I get my other high beam retaining clip and move my new halogens to the brights. I should be able to light up the north sky then.

Now, I just have to wait for the radio tools and start on the next project.

Thanks everyone for your help.

And now the radio works! Got my pullers in the mail. Replaced the ten amp fuse on the back of th radio and it works great! Now to get the i simple, so I have blue tooth. Thanks everyone for your help. I plan on plasti dipping the wiring tomorrow, while I wait for my bulb retainer to get in. Then I will put the LEDs back I. For low beams and put the better halogens in for high beams.
