    Pre assembled relays. I'm going to swap fuses right now to see if that helps. If not I will try to find another relay laying around to test

    Honestly not enough to notice. The reflector only reflects ~10% of the light from the LED. The LEDs are directional by nature so they emit 90% of the light, 90° from the board. That's why some companies sell light bars with the black "reflective" cups

    Norcal peeps - where do you all get a nitrogen charge for your shocks? Anywhere close to the east bay? WC, Dublin, etc

    At the ground?

    Bruh. :bananadead:

    You don't need to light up the ditches on the ground, you know they're there! Ditch lights are for the ditches that come from the sky, out of nowhere. Those are the kind that you want light for. Otherwise you'll get totally fucked!

    If nothing else, get an extra set of lights aimed upward.

    I swapped the relay for the ditch lights and it works. Did the same for my light bar but no luck. Just said fuck it and took the bar off. Will probably just do like @DannyBFresco with the lights behind the grill
