    Yea I loved my km2s. Great tire. Siping is a must tho I think. Least just the center lugs.

    It's basically cutting slits into the big lugs making them flex more

    Hey Monte,


    Why'd you take the DC to begin with?! Just kidding,


    Hey, I've been playing with my TRS HIDs and can't get them to light up. I combined the TRS harness with the Vision X harness. I can hear the lo/hi solenoid working, but I'm not getting the bulb itself to light up... Any suggestions?

    which part did you combine? just the power and ground to the ballasts i hope?

    do the ballasts fire when applied directly to the battery?

    or when you try and turn them on do you get a very loud buzzing and nothing?

    Thanks for the hints, guys. It turns out that I didn't have the harness's power wire actually attached... details, details!


    So, Monte, I just combined the TRS H4 with my Vision X H13 by making a jumper. In the end, the HIDs are working great! Thanks, again for the tips.

    Also, Monte, do you have a contact for Tacoma Magazine? I think I want to write an article, if they're interested...
