A couple of weeks ago my head lights stopped working, replaced them with the same bulb (H1) as they had for compliance. Worked for a couple of hours then the headlights, dash lights ( the ones for the aircon, radio etc) and tail lights all stopped working. I have checked fuses, and relays (could not locate a head light relay) and can't seem to find the issue. The instrument cluster still works apart from gear selection which also went out.

The H1's seem to be wired into the park lights and there is another set of wires that have been crimped off coming from a box bolted to the side of the head light.

I am at a loss of what to check, any other ideas or have i missed some fuses or relays.

If I leave the head light switch on it still "dings" as I get out of the car.

Two other issues with the car - Air Bag light, attempted every re set i can find on the net and nothing has worked so far,

and turbo gauge ( factory) is intermittent in working. I remember doing a search on google and hitting a link on this site that had the fix. So far can't find it again so any helps in locating that would be great.

Sounds like dodgy compliance with the wiring, I would take it back. (and ask for the hid's to be replaced. hehe.)

Airbag, mine comes up every time I disconnect the battery. simple reset clears it. (I turn the ignition on, wait for the airbag light to come on then switch the ignition off. I do that 5 times and it stays off.)

I put up a repair for the boost sensor a while back if you do a search, easy fix with a soldering iron.

Will try and find that post. Tried the re set and no luck.

run it past tuesday and I'll have a look. I have a scan tool so I can tell you WHY the bag light is on.

PM me the name on the pink plate that is inside the passenger door as well - curious who did this one.

Havent had a chance to get the car into Chris to check (got to love shift work), but today while waiting for a mate I tried all the air bag re sets again. And the for once one seems to have worked.
