I have the daihatsu charade and i have a short somewhere so my headlights don't work. all the other lights work and I had it checked out but they can't find the short. It was suggested to get a new harness but I don't know where to look. I live in Orange County California. This is my first time using internet search and don't know how to search for Daihatsu repair shops. Please advise, Thank You !

The information in our database is rather complicated so I am going to explain to you what you need to check.

Would you be able to perform testings with a test lamp and DVOM?

The headlights uses a relay in the circuit and that should be the first item you need to check/test.
