Maybe you guys could decifer this one. I recently purchased the KnightSports headlight kit for my 88 GXL, and it's been working beautifully for about oh... 1 week. Then two days ago while turning on the car in the parking lot, when I tried to turn the headlights on, nothing. Wierd... The housing moves up and down but just no headlights. I popped the high beams on just to check the bulbs and all four headlights work. Huh??! *scratches head. I checked the fuses, and they all are ok. I dunno what's goin on!! I don't know where to begin and what to do. If you guys can shed some light on this, that'll be much appreciated.
Peace,

Dimmer relay has gone south or both headlite low beam went south. Patch in a known good headlite or take the old one out and ohm it out. Dimmer relay being front of the radiator to the drivers side. Should be the last big one towards the center of the car. Five wires in a six hole connector. Red and white, Red and green, Red and green again, Red and black, White and an empty hole. All on a 87 model. Yours should be the same.

It's coo, there are three separate 25 amperage fuses I hadn't checked cuz I assumed the main fuse would blow first before the 3 25 amperage fuses. Anyways, thanks for the input!

PS: if you want to get the headlights be prepared to wait a while if they dont have it in stock. Rx7.com has it for a grand basically. I paid 699.00 USD for it at http://www.rxecret7.com/knight-sports.html when they had a special on it. Anycase, be ready to pay a boat load of cash. However, it look PHAT. I took some pictures so I'll load them up when I get the photos back from the developing place.
