    just installed replacement bulbs from TRS. Much better quality than my previous version. But I still have one flickering and one that is a lot dimmer/yellow compared to the other.

    I've swapped ballasts around but nothing changes. Grounds are good. To be sure I temporarily grounded them directly to the battery and the problem remained. I'm lost now.

    I agree. I ended up giving it a rinse immediately after that picture. Hot water de-iced the yolk off. Then later I used mothers "showtime" general cleaner spray on it to get the rest off. Going to be filling the chip in with touch up for a couple days. Some of the chips are too small for the touch up pen.

    Know anywhere I can get a microfiber cutting pad? I was going to just gently wet sand the hump of new touch up paint and then polish...

    Get a can of air for cleaning out key boards and spray it upside down on the ball joint so it gets cold and torch the spindle with a propane torch at the same time, then give it a good smack or two. For install put the new ball joint in the freezer and torch the spindle before you put it in.

    He's just going to winch up everything.

    I generally use whatever is in the gun at the time so I would assume so.
