My tacoma head light low beam not working after installing the ditch light on roof rack. Please help

My Tacoma 2017 head light low beam did not work after i installed the ditch light on my roof rack. Please advise. thank you

 

Did you wire it into the head lights? How is it hooked up

 

Coincidence?

 

i wired it into the battery but how come the head light went off.

 

My first question and if you’re reply above that is blank, means you did, WHY.

Extra lights should be wired to a separate circuit to not cause those problems.

 

A few things to consider:

1. Check for any electrical issues inside cab
- no check engine lights, etc...
2. Check your other exterior lights (high beams, DRLs, signals, etc.)
3. Check the three fuses circled below and make sure they didn't blow.
4. Make sure your battery is still healthy (assuming you still use the original battery?)
5. Check and see if any other aftermarket parts are still working.
6. check the bulb


I have a whole spreadsheet full of common issues (mainly electrical) and ways to troubleshoot / fix / prevent these things from happening.

Check this thread out of necessary. Its about light failures after installing aftermarket accessories

 

Thank you! I was able to figure it out with your help.

 

Thanks,
