Default My headlights don't work.. Where should I start?

I just got a 93 Civic Hatch.. been working on the motor swap... Finally got all the parts and finished it today.... So now to fix other things.......

My headlights (lowbeam to be exact) don't work... I checked the fuses and the previous owner had 30amp fuses in place of the correct 10 amp fuses. I put 10 amp fuses in and it still didn't work. The high beams work though. The 30 amp work for high beams tho even though they are suppose to be 10 also. They are projectors. I haven't tried change the light bulbs yet. I will do that tomorrow. But I don't think BOTH of his light bulbs would be dead like that.

ANy other thing I should be looking for? His car had an alarm (but the car got broken into and they yanked a bunch of wires out). Is the alarm usually hook'd up to the headlights? I'm guessing no... but I'm not all that great wtih alarms. I did manage to rewire all the loose wires and got the alarm working again though.

:dunno: maybe fried a wire to the low beams due to the higher rated fuse being shoved in there :dunno:

your alarm is only hooked to your turn signals. it can only be fuse, bulb, or corroded wire. more likely area of corrosion would be in the area closest to the bulb.
