So I figure out why my car won't start and now the headlights won't come on. Took them out for paint, everything went back in the same. I have turn signals, marker, brakes etc. just no low or high beams...I checked the fuse block, no blown although I didn't see anything for the headlights. Am I missing a larger relay somewhere, let me know please! Thanks all
 
Check the ground wire, for the headlights harness, that probably fastens on the radiator core support. Then, check the headlight switch itself.

Agree with Miller, check the ground at the radiator support. If you just painted, you'll have to sand down the spot for the ground wire.
 
Also check the high/low beam switch. Make sure properly working/ good ground.
 
As everyone has said, start with the ground. It's handy to keep a length of wire with alligator clips on each end laying around for these things. In this situation you just clip one end to the headlight ground and the other to the negative post... If it fixes it then sand some paint off and try again
 
Man if you guys were closer I would be buying a round! I totally missed even hooking up the ground lol. In my thrash I missed that little booger. Thanks again all!!! Cheers:thankyou:

I didn't help, but I am close and up to a round pretty much anytime off-duty.
