Put in new headlights, killed alternator somehow?
Put in my euro ellipsoids today and noticed that while aiming them the light seemed dim. Started the car and it seemed to get better. Realized i left the cooling duct for the alternator out. Stopped to put it in, not enough power to start had to roll start the car. It is acting like i somehow cooked the voltage regulator, any ideas or other things to check? The wiring to the lights seems fine, not hot or anything, and no blown fuses that i can see.
Update: also realized that my electric fan wasn't engaging yesterday in traffic (had to cut off the a/c to keep the temp in check) Could it have been short on power then?
