Hah dang, didnt notice that - I though tthey were incandescant ones!

Did you order the ones off Ebay - LED 15" bar with the high/low that you can tap into the brakes? :-)


Edit:

Hah was just laughing about the black truck in the pictures - it swaps position every new set of pictures :-p Thats my '88 Ranger I just got running again - 2.3L, 2wd. 5 speed (4+overdrive)... great condition minus the paint on the exterior - dove under it to do some inspecting and theres not even any rust on the frame minus the standard surface stuff from a little moisture here and there.. I missed drivin it :-)

Maybe back when we were doing your cluster, those may have been incandescants....but as soon as I went LED on the tails, everything went LED the same night(or the same week).

Link me these hi/lo clearence lamps...THAT would be hella awesome.

Dirt cheap - I'm going to be ordering up 2 more and tieing them into my left and right brake's... that way they will blink when I hit the brakes, and when I click my turn signals - still need to run wiring to my third brake light in the middle one so it will mimic the brake's without blinking on and off with a turn signal

The one I linked to right there actually has a red, white, and black.. red = high, white = low, black = ground.. lets you tie into your brake light high/low so you can make it blink with that specific turn signal and such - My plan is to have 3 of these.. actually jsut ordered 2, and a can of nightshade - and going to paint the area under there black - nightshade the LED's so they wont blind so much when I hit the brakes.. and give them a stealthy look under there when they arent on.. one in the middle on the third brake light wires.. and one hugging each side workign with that ides brake light.

Question about the HIDs you have... the duel beams. Do you have to hack the factory harness at all??

This is how a proper HID kit works (With a relay)



Battery to Relay
Relay to Ballast
Stock Wiring plugs Into Relay (For High/Low Signals)
Ballast plugs into HID Bulb


Thats all there is to it - minus of course.. you have to mount the ballast and all that, slightly more work depending on application.

Does the hi/low kit have 2 relays since theres actually 2 bulbs? I've never seen the hi/lo relay kit.
