What is wrong with my headlights?

I have recently removed my front clip and put in a rust free radiator support and a pair of rust free fender wells. I have hookedup all the wiring that I disconected and I went to turn on everything to see if it worked and my headlights would not come on! could this be a vurnt fuse or a bad ground, everything else works any help would be great thanx,:-X11

Could be either, fuse or something burnt up. Also check the total length of the wires to ensure you didn't pinch anything when you were installing all that stuff. One pinch and your 12VDC to light your lights goes straight to ground and never makes it to the bulb. Good luck! Also where did you find the core suppport and inner fenders?? I need a RH inner fender that is not rusted out below the battery tray.

Where the headlight wiring comes through the radiator support on each side, there is a ground that must be attached to the radiator support. Also, Make Sure that the ground is connected from the stone guard to the frame.
