Couple of days ago i cut my brown wire to have the sleepy eye effect for cheap..

first couple of days no problem at all , til my friend told me one of my front tail lights was out..

then one of my bulbs from my front turn signal was out.. figured just buy new bulbs..

bought cheap ass bulbs from a gas station, installed them, daytime everything went perfect...

til nighttime, turned on head lights... dashboard will not light up, parking lights will not light up, back brake lights will not light up (unless braking)..

its like daytime settings, with only the front headlights on at night.

dont know what to do.. can anyone help... i hope its just because of the cheap ass bulbs..

please help.

maybe the brown wires are causing the rest of the stuff to short? idk im not good with wiring or anything like that but thats what you get for doing a halfass job! Cover up the edges of the brown wires you cut with electrical tape or that end thingofmagij that's usually a bright color lol..

hattteerrrr lol...your lights not working isn't because you cut the wire...as i did mine the same way works just fine (as many other people do this method)

friend had the same problem..his fuses turned out ok when he checked problem was it was jumping fuses and eventually melted fuses to his fusebox lol it was funny...so check all your fuses!!
