tailights dont work? and another lighting question

[kennyb01]

My tailights dont work, none of them. Brake lights and everything work fine. Just not tail lights or dash lights. This makes it difficult to drive at night. I went through I think all my fuses. Idk which one it is because none of my fuse boxes have covers. Can anyone tell me which one or send me pictures of the fuse box cover? It's a zenki sr5. Also, what's the brightest/whitest hallogen bulb you've used? I hate HID bulbs. Although I wouldn't be too opposed to an LED headlight conversion if it was bright enough.

there is a relay in the driverside kick panel. Im pretty sure either that or a fuse is bad. Ive had the same problem as you, and the relay was bad.

I'm not getting power out of my switch except for the headlight wire. Switch probably?

kinda related..... my 87' when i aquired it, didnt, and still does not have working brake lights, im getting 12v thru the switch under the dash, just nothing to the rear of the car.

In your case probably the fuse. Or a short in your wiring. But my guess is your fuse. But from what I understand, in the headlight switch you should have power out of every wire except ground. And I don't.

If none of your lights are working, it is possible that it could be your headlight switch. I have a old DIY on how to fix it but it is gone. It is fair simple. You have to pull out the big plastic bezal that goes around your instrument cluser. Once you do that, you can pull out the headlight switch. The headlight switch just unclips apart and you can resolder the joints in it. Then put it back together. This will probably fix your issue.

It sounds like a lot of work but its fairly simple. If you wanna do this and you want more information, just pm me and Ill help you out.
