You can EASILY make some - and some that look better than those.

When in doubt use electrical contact cleaner/maf sensor spray to make sure the contact is free of moisture before applying dielectric.

If as it sounds, both lights are dark and the harness has individual connections from the alt/batt + to each ballast and lamp, the first place I would look is the old h/l connector on the passenger side. The HID harness uses that connector to trigger the relays when you use the stock switch and wires from that switch to the old h/l connector. The "trigger" connector from the new harness should be firmly plugged into that old connector. Otherwise, no lumens.

Thank you, I will check those connections, I appreciate your help my friend

yeah I was thinking about that, but I don't have any equipment for that at all. maybe some time I could see if oliver could do a hybrid of the 2 or something. I think it would be worth getting.



also, welcome to the new guy. good luck keeping up!

That is makeable in 10 minutes in any garage....aluminum or steel diamond plate can be had at any steel supply shop.

It has gotten really bad. I have been looking for .45 brass and have come up dry at all my local hideouts.... so I took to the web and came up dry until this morning. Found a guy on Etsy that scours the earth for matching headstamped brass. Cleans and polishes them and sells them for decorative/jewelry purposes. I bought all he had *400 rounds* He messages me "Wow quite the order, if you don't mind me asking what you plan on doing with them" So I respond that my female friend is in the service and is having a bridal shower soon. I am using the cases to make table decorations. Guy replies " Oh, that sounds pretty cool, I was just making sure you weren't a reloader scouring for cases, I have spent too much time sorting and cleaning to just have them dirtied and possibly used for killing, should be shipping today. Be sure to send pictures of the decorations!"

HAHA I am such an *******
