Lights out on 2333 - Can-Am Spyder Forums: The Y-factor Community

Hi all. the headlights went out on 2333, fog lights and HIDs. They blow the fusable lnkk as soon as the lights should come on. Has anyone with the factory fog and HID lights had this problem? At this point I am assuming a bad balast but I have not had time to take the front end apart yet.

They have separate ballasts...unlikely it's that. Could be a bad relay or a short in the system somewhere.

I know they have seperate balasts, I installed the lights. Either one could be going to ground and blowing the fuse because both are after the same fuse and after the relay. If the relay was bad, there would be no power to the lights.

Have you unplugged the lights.... turned things on... then done visa-versa with the fog lights? Hopefully this will let you know which one has the short.
