Ok. Heres my question. I wanna hook up a set of hella square lights to where they come on when i put my headlights on, i have the putco harness already so i know the "extra power" is going thru that n not to my headlight switch. Do you think i should hook up an additional relay and splice into the putco power source/headlight switch? Or new relay-> switch wire to headlight "power wire" and such?
Let me know if any of this sounds dumb, its fluent in my head but as far as typing it i dont know lol. Thnx

So you have one Putco for your headlight and a second one for your Hellas and all come on when you turn your lights on.

Got that, but what kinda difference does the thing make? I cut it on and off while driving and felt no difference at all

I was never able to feel much of a change either on the other xj I had for a while. As far as I know, the comfort setting is supposed to shift softer, making driving more enjoyable. While the power is basically normal. Whether it actually does that or not.. thats a mystery.

Alrighty.. And another more serious question, when I'm stopped and I take off hard (as in punch it) I heard what's sounds like a grinding sound coming from the rear. When I let off the gas it goes away till I get up to speed, sounds awfully like grinding gears
