Well, Yea he is, anyway, All I remember was that he was doing something and the wires touched and he blew the lights out which means the fuse should have blown which it wasn't, So I dunno, but I want to know how the hell am I supposed to do the wiring all I know is tommorow I will be going to end up going out and gettin some "Professional" do it for me since my "Friend" cut the Harness and stuff so I dunno.....

Someone help me.

If you're sure that the fuses are all good, the next step is to check the bulb itself. If it's OK...time to start checking for stuff you don't want to find...like melted wire...

Also, maybe you'd better double-check that the fuses in the fuse box are of the correct amperage. It sounds like your friend's mishap "should" have blown a fuse.

Ok, if he cut the harness he's a moron, he's also a moron for not disconnecting the battery. You can buy a harness for 6 bucks that would hook up to the factory harness. It's not hard to install and you can find a diagram here. It's easy, don't get a "professional" to.

You can still hook up your speakers then change the amp later. Or are you sure that you have a factory amp? I have no idea what the grey wire is for, did you look at the wiring diagram on http://www.installdr.com ?
