Sorry guys, the leds will have to wait until I get a new tip for my soldering iron. It's hard to solder with a tip in the shape of a U

In the meantime I wired my fogs with a relay finally. I did it to use a switch I liked better.
Here is the old switch (on the left in my hand)


And the new one.

The left little one is for the fogs, and the right one is a SPDT switch for having the rear lights either: A) Come on with the reverse lights. or B) Turn on or off full time. (It's not wired up yet.)

I didn't bend it, it looks like it has melted. I'll see if I can get a pic of it.

I have no idea.

So I've decided that when I get my replacement ballast from DDM (one died on me) I'm not putting it back in the headlights. I'm going to put them in one of my sets of off-road lights.

I'm saving up for projectors from the same place I got the ones for the bike. But I'm going with bigger ones because I have just a little more space for them in the blaze.

Here are the ones I want.

Nice, I like the black in the housings.

Ok I just bought the housings with the clear lenses I'm going to use.

They are made of metal and glass so they will take the heat of the 55w hids.
