Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Do you have 12 volts to the light?

Check the socket.

Does not matter what type lights. No power no lights.

If its not a wiring problem.

Start checking your fuses.

Anybody that owns a vehicle more than 10 years old should be familiar with electrical issues, how to trace them, and what to use to get things working.

If you read the threads on this forum, you will find out very quickly that the H2 does not like certain types of LED lights. These cause all sorts of mysterious electrical gremlins.

So, put everything back to stock, see what happens. Then start substituting LED lights back in slowly.
You can do it the harder way if you want, but that is what I would do.
You have some serious electrical problems. This is more than a bad connection or ground. Too many issues for that.

Solid advice, grounds corrode over time.
