    I found that the actual connectors where arcing out. If they don't come on I just turn off..the. Wait a few seconds..then turn on again.

    HIDs work are a very high voltage. Think it's like 80-91v, so it's not to hard for them to arc out.

    Yeah I dont like the way I did it very well. Like theres a couple tiny marks that it has on it and the paint is a little bit off around the lip in front of the mesh, but when i sprayed the whole thing with plasti dip it looked great! But I decided to take it off since my clear corners had chrome trim and it didnt look right. If you really wanna trade I can plasti dip it for you or I can leave it so you can mess with it.

    Yeah the trim, damnit i shoulda got black ones hahah :p

    Yes do that especially if the power wire runs close to a grounding point and if it's right next to the other connector. That will help

    Hmmmm...

    Might be interested..

    So you dipped like the chrome? Or the satoshi?? Take some pics so I can see and we might have a deal..

    E electrical flow is jump inform the wires to another point on the truck. It's not good..
