wouldn't take solder. I filed and fluxed to see if it was a wierd coating, but it just kept beading off. :(
I'll redo all of the connectors when one corrodes, I'm hoping it won't be a problem for a while since everything is somewhat protected inside the housing.

Are you nuts? Hell yeah it should be a tech article! I've been looking for this for ages! Thanks! - Dan Calle 2002-07-29 22:34:02 (526 views)

Let us know on the effect of the 80 watt bulbs on the housings - S4atlast! 2002-07-29 21:51:59 (519 views)

I've been running the bulbs since January, at 11.5v they would be 72w, and 12v would be 75w, no - Nick Gustas 2002-07-29 22:14:00 (575 views)

The rating is for the 12 volt draw, the moment that voltage goes down the draw goes UP - Eric Fletcher 2002-07-29 23:03:36 (513 views)

Why? Numbers please. We are talking filament based halogen bulbs, non regulated. - Nick Gustas 2002-07-30 05:05:59 (765 views)

How about doing the foglights? I know a lot of us probably like to run the fogs without the hid's - tuan@grdperformance.com 2002-07-29 21:49:49 (663 views)

It'd be the same except the wires would need to come down further :) - Nick Gustas 2002-07-29 22:33:31 (553 views)

Wow, Nice write-up I vote yes for the tech article. - S4atlast! 2002-07-29 21:49:45 (494 views)
