cody_s said:Interesting, they actually work. Wires seem to be a tad hot between the bulbs and the ballasts, not sure if that's normal.
Still have to aim them too. I'm assuming the screws around the side of the hole where the bulb goes in are set screws? So taking a torx driver to one of them should aim the bulb down, correct?

Overall a good time was had by all.![]()



Of course I got the "ya but fill it up" answer. So I drove it to work and wow ..... now I remember why I bought that thing. What a great ride. I miss the jump of the 6.2 in the Lade but the Trailblazer is such a pleasure to drive. 172k kilometers and smooth as silk.Fire06 said:Be careful you don't come home with a grader..![]()
I would just tell my neighbors she is my niece.
Like they would believe that.

Buddy brought over a Lancer he just bought, and we had a little driveway party working on cars and what not. He fixed up a few things on his, and I finally took the time to wire in a relay for my roof lights.

cody_s said:Yeah, I had an audio shop wire them at first (poor decision). Upgraded the bulbs and wires started melting, so I went back down to 35W lights, and the wires were still hot, but not burning. Realized they didn't even have a relay, they just wired the lights to the switch to the power. One of the lights still gets a little hot, so I'm not going to put the 55Ws back in until I look a little closer, but yes, a decent accomplishment for the morning.

HARDTRAILZ said:I know of some really good ones, but they are not cheap. If the place seems too cheap...do it yourself cause they are likely cutting corners.
You will pay for a real good place to do an install, but it will be worth the money spent not to have a hack job done on your electrical system.cody_s said:Yep, most offroad shops were quoting up to a few hundred dollars. The audio shop quoted $50. That should have been a sign that they were leaving a bit out.
A few hundred vs. $50.00.
They are leaving a whole lot out that's for sure.

:wootwoot:
hows everyone doing and what are your plans for the weekend.
Some drink beer, others rum or whiskey. Most of the wives drink wine.
