others be able to help ya better. but the obvious.

have you checked the fuse for the lights?

when you put on the new cable, i am assuming there might have been another smaller cable and a larger cable that hooked to the same post on battery did you hook them both up. ((i am thinking cars/trucks)) and they normally have the one larger / one smaller cable. ((i don't have a clue about your specific make/model unit))

do you have a multi meter to read DC current / amps to test wires to see if you have power going to the lights?

big one, do you need your unit on and engine running to have lights? vs just trying key to "accessories / lights on)?

Does your L 150 have a hood that you had to remove to get the new cable on? If it does and you took it off, the headlight wire plug-in connector probably got pulled apart. Look for a connecting wire between the hood and engine compartment and plug it back togather. It runs the headlights.
