Daytime runing lamp probs
Ok y'all searched most of pages i know this must have been brought up before, so here we go.
I know i have a short some where just cant locate it. Running lights wont come on, low beams work, but when you hit brights drivers side goes out. Where do i start ?? Someone had mentioned there is a part of wiring harness for them behind front bumper cover area, but cannot locate the bare wire what so ever really starting to bug the heck outta me. ANY HELP WILL GRATEFULL AND NEEDED, THANKS IN ADVANCE ANTHONY
p.s. this is on a 1998 cavi 2.2 motor 4 door car dont know if this pertinent or not ??
and also i am looking for a newer cavi to update the looks of our 98 to change the newer style lights and tails i know i have to change fenders and such already but we need front rear bumper covers already so figured why not change the apperance of the car, I know i can go up to 2000 maybe 2001 for the transplant. But can i get a 2002 style with the real slimmer type headlight's and the tail panel that over the whole back of trunk ( i want to wire it up to light it up at night, and brightly when brakes are applied

its possible the DRL's are burnt out as is one of the the hi beam lamps.
start off with the head lights, they are more important, move the high beam lamp to the other side that will eliminate the lamp.
The lamps may just need to be re-seated in their sockets.
some DRL's won't come on if the parking brake is set...
