    Warning to every one about the harbor freight spring compressor. It's absolute garbage and is dangerous. Thing exploded like a bomb and almost took my hand with it.

    The loaners from the parts stores are pretty sketchy too.

    Update: I went and bought a soldering iron to solder those wires. After watching some youtube how-tos on soldering, I managed to get it done. It wasn't pretty, but it works and I didn't have to cough up $100 for a new starter so I'm calling it a win. :thumbsup:

    Now I just have to find out how to wire them directly into my High beams. I tested all 3 wires with the high beams on and none of the three power just the high beam? Two ran no power to light the pod and only the low beam wire worked.

    Why would you want them to come on with high beams? You don't want highs on in fog. Just get a wire harness with a relay for like 20 bucks & out a separate switch in the cab then you can have them on whenever you want.

    My headlights are a bit retarded. My high beams don't go very far out. So they actually help out better in fog than my low beams. So I want to wire the lights to my high beams.

    I'd still wire them separately. If something happened to the pods that caused the to blow a fuse or something you'd be without any lights if they're separate you'd still have headlights. Just my .02

    I know I should run it to a switch. But I want them to come on with my high beams. I was planning on running an inline fuse. So no issues there.
