Hows the plug wires ? If you have a multimeter you can test resistance of the coil, ballast resistor etc etc, with power off of course set to Ohms/resistance. Hope this helped, but Iam on the same page with 78D200, check your resistor and ECU.

read your other post ... but you can also use a small flat screwdriver and poke it in with the other stuff i left in your other post but be carefull not to puncture the rubber but it will go in if you take your time
