Whats wrong here?

[Heavus]

I have two PIAA driving lights. had em wired in a while ago, worked fine for like 2 years, then they stopped working. the switch turns on, the relay turns on, but the lights don't. i have driven through mud/water alot, so could that have f'd up the connectors and the wiring leading up to the relay? cause there is a noticable amount of dirt everywhere, so could that be the problem? if anyone has some ideas, i'm all ears

First step would be to see if lights are getting power by using a meter or test light at the connectors.

Are the lights grounded at the same spot?

Sounds like a relay

i used a test light and voltometer. everything is good, i was thinking it may be the relay.

What do you mean by "the relay turns on"? Go ahead and see if there is voltage between the relay and the lights. It may be a bad ground on your lights or relay too. There are really so many possibilities that your best bet is to test each portion of the circuit with a multimeter and then determine the bad part.

I always start at the grounds, and work my way backwards.
