    Got a brand new battery. Gave a hint at quitting the other day. Barely started going to work and same thing coming back. Tried to restart it at home and died. So a new battery it got :laugh:

    Are any of you running a Thule rack system? I have one from my 05 when I had it and I want to put it on my new 1st gen but I need new feet pack. Anyone have what footpath to get? I googled it but can't seem to figure it out

    So don't use one of these (cheap ebay) if you need a resistor to correct the low load from retrofit projectors. It burned up without a heat sink. Glad it didn't start a fire.

    I used dilectric grease in the connection and I think that was probably a bad idea. I thought I understood what the grease was for but it kinda makes sense because it is an insulator not a conductor :anonymous:

    Wait, so what does the resistor do for a retrofit?

    Connector meaning where you soldered the wires or? I wouldn't think it would cause that.

    It allows your high beam indicator to still work.

    Huh, I didn't realize that needed anything beside continuity to function.

    Once I installed projectors my little blue light in my dash wouldn't come on when I turned on my high beams. Bought a little box that plugged into the opposite headlight socket and it works like normal now.
