How to wire up the lights. My driver light is brighter than the passenger on low beam, and the oppisite on high beam. and the rear lights do not work. The bulbs have been replaced and so have the fuses and i don't know what wire goes to what light. And my key igniton doesn't work but if i take a screwdriver and touch the two end on the starter it will turn over.

sounds like you have some interesting wiring issues.

For one, about the lights, I would check the ground connections, the brown wires. One set is near the battery, the other set is in front of the washer tank. You probably have a bad ground, or possibly a corroded connector at the headlights.

Its also possible that the ignition switch could be causing all the problems.

Any wire that's solid brown is a ground wire.
