Hey

I Have a EL XR6. I was changing the light bulbs in my car to the Opti Blue Xenon headlights. I instaled them both and tested with the car on acc and they worked fine. I left it overnight, then the next day it took a few times to start the car but then it was fine. I just got home then from going out, went to start the car and it would not start!!! Anybody know what could be happening???

Also if anybody knows of a good Auto Electrician in Adelaide around the glenelg or marion area let me know!!!!

Cheers Guys

Possible BEM Failure (hit the panel at your left knee and try starting)
Fuel Problem (check all fuses including the ones in the engine bay)
Starter could be Stuck
Coil could be stuffed (common)
Dizzy module could have died (common)

itd have something to do with the way you installed your new lights hopefully

go through and check there's no like..(im not sure if this is how it can work) a "draw" from the battery while the car is off and key is out etc.

im wondering whether you might have wired it up direct by accident (wrong side of the accessories switch)?

same idea as the constant wire for memory works on HU except much more current or something.
