I went to the grocery store and when I started up my car I saw that I had no headlights. Even though the trip home was only a mile, every single bum, pedestrian, and oncoming traffic person was intent to tell me that my headlights didn't work. Kinda embarrassing when a bum is giving you advice...

I have to take an 850 mile road trip in 6 days, so hopefully I get some replies soon. Even if I have to take the trip with no headlights, I'll still be interested in fixing this problem...
So I checked out my fuse box and I totally found the burned out connector you were talking about. I might be reading your text incorrectly, but the wires seem to be colored differently than you described.

I have a 1993 metro 3cyl 1.0L

Here's some pictures (sorry about the poor lighting)
Please anonymous, bless me with your knowledge

It's obvious that the black/brown wire connection is burned to shit. The fuse box side of the connection is dirty, but it looks like it would still work if I had a new plug. I'm just totally confused because your post didn't mention anything about a black/brown wire.

My wiring harness is the same colors...If you figure out what to bypass the Black/Brown wire with I would really really really like to know. I cant figure out what it goes to. :(

 I also found this information very helpful. I have a 1993 Geo Metro that also had the Black w/ Brown Strip burnt out. I used a butt connector to bypass this wire.

On the other side (top side) of the fuse box, the wiring harness was blue and the wire that needed to connect directly to the black w/ brown wire (from the bottom) was solid black.

I've placed this info here for others. I should have taken a picture of it, and will try to remember to do so tonight.

I didn't really see a way to get the blue harness out of the fuse box. I used a multimeter to confirm that it was the right wire. I hope this helps. thanks for the lead information
