06 Bi-Xenon headlights not working properly
Well first off I will explain the situation.
The car is an 04 Base 350z that does not come with HID's (6 pin connector)
The headlights come with an 8 pin connector, but can easily be made to work with the 6 pin connector with some soldering and reading of the wiring diagram.
I also have a harness for the bi-xenons so they are powered directly off the battery but triggered by the standard harness.
Now the problem is that my LEDS and day time running lights do not seem to be working, however when I connect a 9v battery to the wires leading to both, they are working fine.
Does anyone know if the problem is due to my car being a base model or is it possibly the fuses? And if so which one/s

Your LEDs and running lights are not connected to a power source then. If they don't turn on AT ALL (one click or both clicks), you either don't have them connected right, or you they aren't connected at all. I can snap some pictures for you of how they need to be wired if you can't figure it out before I get home from work today.

The way I tested if my harness and wiring was correct was by connecting a power source to the pins in the harness directly.
I tested the LED's by connecting a power source directly to the wires, then to the pins from the harness.
The way they are hooked up is the green/black wires from both the LEDs and day time running lights are soldered together, and then to the green/black in position 5 (I believe) on the harness.
Then the Black grounding wires are done in the same fashion and then to the position 6 (or 4) of the harness.
Sorry I do not know the positions off the top of my head since I am going off of 4 hrs of sleep.
