    Nothing is ever easy. I haven't hung my CBI skids back up yet because the rear crossmember skid is a pain.

    I feel you. I underestimated the install. Luckily Kevin was available to answer all my questions and help me get through it before I went crazy.

    Looking good with the Meso filler plates. Mine almost blend in with MGM, still worth it though.

    Great job. Sorry I couldn't help more as I was at work. Glad it was something simple.

    Using 1 inch heavy duty double sided tape. Put 2 strips side by side and doubled it up so it had a little space between the ballast and the metal. Just clean both surfaces really well with alchohol and it should stick fine. Driver side I mounted it on the wall under where I mounted the relays next to the battery.

    That’s exactly how I mounted my driver side. Zips are cheap and secure.

    Where is everyone putting all the extra wire for the harnesses at? It was hard with 2 ballasts but soon I will have 4. Thinking of maybe a Meso bucket on each side with a drain just in case. I dont really want to cut the harnesses and I hate messy wiring.
    Thanks

    A combination of me and a company near me installing and aligning the quads but I believe Kevin has made a pair? I just got housings repainted and meso triple side markers and smoked turn signal sheild. Hope to be done in few weeks.

    Did you use a self tapping screw to mount that relay? If so do you recall the size

    Guys with @MESO side markers. I’ve got one side that won’t fire up. I’ve check the all the connections and flipped the bladed connector to reverse polarity and nothing is working. Drive side is fine but passenger side won’t light up. When I originally checked the bladed connector this is what it looked like. I straighted it out and tried again both ways but it didn’t work. Anything else I could try? I’m finished with my install aside from this. 543B334A-A07C-4DCB-8798-EA9DC42CBEB8.jpg
