Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2001 honda civic EX? I added high-power headlights a few months ago. Just recently, i started smelling burning wires. Then, when i turned off my headlights, the low-beam wont come back on! Only high-beam. Has anyone heard of this before?

Thanx alot, I figured out what the problem was. I knew that the smell was coming from the inside of the car, so i began to look by the lightswitch itself. When i looked under the steering collar, i saw a discoleration of a wire close to the harness that goes to the healight switch. I took off the collar, and i saw that one wire was burned and melted through the harness; the wire was naked. Since nothing is open for the holiday, temporarily, i scrapped the corrosion from the wire and covered it with electrical tape. I also put alot of tape around the one wire that was next to it. When i plugged it back in, it worked just fine. i might try to go with a different wattage bulb (lower), but with the same purple color. Thanks for your help; i really appreciate it!....
