I guess I'll have to pay for a professional at this point.
Since the car came with aftermarket headlights (SHIT) but also a box with the originals I guess I'll try those. But today I don't have enough daylight left and there's some wire-fuckery going on that I'm not sure I can remove without breaking anything....
If that doesn't do it either something's askew with my wiring.
