Damage Other Than Blown Fuse ???
hi
I'm replacing the headlight http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6449/wiresas6.jpg This wire pair (Balck & Red) (connector removed) powers the HID unit (Inverter) pictured he http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/7277/w9027zj2.jpg So I test-plugged to the HID unit. Unknowingly the wires were in REVERSE position, so HID didn't come on and the fuse (15A) was blown. Have I done any damage to the car, wires or HID ? thanks 2004 TSX |

Try it. With any luck, the headlights will have a "crowbar" circuit. This is a simple circuit designed to burn out the power supply fuses or even power supply wires if the input isn't correct. |

thanks
the HID comes on guess that's why the connector doesn't give indication for red or black |
