I just wired BigDogJonx's alarm fix for the 2K2 HIDs, now my headlights won't turn on! High beam and low beam don't work, but signals and running lights are ok. Any ideas what I did wrong? I don't want to wire it back the way it was except as a last resort.

Bump. I can't drive at night without my lights! Anyone else use BigDogJonx's alarm fix for the 2K2 HIDs?

For now, I'm going to wire it back the way it was. Not too difficult, just crappy that I couldn't get it to work. Oh well, I'm no auto mechanic or electrician, so I'm not too upset I couldn't figure it out on my own.

I need to know more about how you did the wiring, cause my website is down right now.

I know it works fine on my car, if you can give me a more detailed info since I cant visual it without my website.

Haha! Ten minutes too late. I already put everything back the way it was and the lights work again, but without the alarm fix

Anyhow, I wired everything exactly as you explained it in your write up. I did notice that I have an extra brown-covered relay labeled "remote open" that I didn't see in your pictures. My biggest question is which 12V wire to use from the O2 sensor. My mini-writeup that I did to summarize your instructions showed I should use the red with grey marks. There is another wire there that is red with green stripe and grey marks. Which wire is it?

Well I cant tell right now which wire it is because the website is down but I can tell you for sure it is the wire closest to the front of the car. Like the last wire on the plug closest to the battery. If that makes sense.

Now I think the problem is that you aint get the right type of relay, it has to be a SPST type relay. Available at radioshack for like $5. If it is a different type, then that is your problem there.

You don't remember whether its a red wire or a red wire with green stripe? I'm not sure that's the only problem, but it's the biggest uncertainty. I think the ground and relay are ok. I'll check the relay type again to make sure. It's a 30Amp 12V relay from Radio Shack for $5.99. Looks just like yours and has all the correct pins numbered.

Dude, I just wrote up there what wire it was, it is the one closest to the battery. Cause that MAF sensor plug is at an angle, if you look at the plug, the wire closest to the battery. That i know for a fact, I cant look at my car cause it is all taped up.

Hey man, didn't mean to be rude or sound ungrateful, I'm just kind of tired from working on this all day. I'm also very concerned that I'm messing up my car by cutting into the electrical system and maybe causing problems with the O2 sensor. I'm not blaming your instructions, just I'm ****ed for not knowing any better before hacking into my $26500 car. I'm very appreciative of the work you did to make this mod possible.

Now back to the issue: the O2 sensor plug is at a 45 degree angle from the top of the battery, but the red wire that would be considered closest to the battery is the red wire with green stripe and gray marks. I'll try to wire the alarm fix again this week using the red\green wire instead.

Again, thanks for the help
