Yeah I pulled it. I've had em in for months an all of a sudden my drivers side lo-beam fuse keeps blowing. I don't have relays but I've been fine for quite a while now so it's wierd. I've got the kid this weekend so I don't have time to check it out

if you meant me also? yes i pulled it, the guy at NTB said the positive wire was drawing too much power from the fuse box and doo dads and thingys from the area, and my car wouldnt start cus of that. it had been working fine tho, and i have an optima red top..
also its HID bulbs in stock housing. prolly makes a difference?

Holy packet size limit fail Batman!

Cobaltss.net's hosting service puts a 1000b packet limit on their bandwidth. Probably to avoid DoS attacks, but still wonder why we have so many connection and DNS issues?

I still want em but I dont know exactly when I'm gonna get paid. If you wanna sell them go ahead.

If anyone wants their HID's installed correctly just bring em out and I'll fix em up for ya.

Drew, did you have the system grounded good? A bad ground would cause problems. I am running HIDS in both my regular lights and my driving/fog lights. I am still in the regular housings, as the projectors are not together yet. Check to make sure you have a good ground and that all connections are tight.

As for plugs for the car, I would go with either NGK or AcDelco (41103) ones. Iridiums are the factory style plugs for the car. Plugs are easy, I did mine in less than a half hour last week, and that was working around the charge pipe.

I have a Hahn on my car, sounds nice. It is not that loud, and it runs good.
