18 Camaro SS headlights not working.
So a while back my passenger headlight and "fog light" went out. Along with some taillight functions. I searched the forum and couldn't find anything. I checked my fuses, both were fine. A week ago driver side headlight went out as well yet the "fog light" still works. I have tried both replacing taillights with brand new ones and brand new bulb for the passenger when the driver side headlight still worked and both haven't solved the issue. Tonight I decided to take a look at the fuse box again. I found the fuses for the right and left HID. Both had 20 fuses. I grabbed the only spare fuse I had and threw it on the left HID fuse location. Put the old one back in the spot of the spare. I hit the unclock button knowing it would turn the light on if it were to work and immediately I saw a spark from the fuse box. Where the left HID fuse is. So I went and looked at it, sure enough blown fuse. I looked at the old one from the left HID and blown as well I look at the right HID fuse and that one was intact. I'm thinking maybe the driver side headlight actually does end up needing a new headlight. But the left side just blowing fuses? Any idea why that might be? I would really prefer not to take it to dealer and pay minimum of 3 hours electrical diagnostics or better just say $500 bucks.

Sounds like a short somewhere in the harness or the connectors... if you don't want to pay for electrical diag, you have to do it yourself :D
Let me help you with the applicable schematics from the service manual. :happy0180: EDIT: wire color coding is as follows: Code:

Could be a short in the wiring. You’ll have to trace and inspect the wiring.
