haha, hopefully it won't be 1 for long. I have a feeling it's a grounding issue. I'll tear it all apart when the weather permits though and take a look.

Just regular old undercoating. I used AC Delco stuff since it was free to me, but any undercoating will work.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the range.

No, I hadn't heard you got them! Are they installed yet? Pics? I'm not sure if I'll be getting some or not since now I'll need 3 sets lol. I'm big on having stuff matching, so I couldn't have HID headlights without HID fogs and roof lights, it just wouldn't work for me. Of course with these new lights it's just like having HIDs anyway since they're so bright! lol.

Thanks guys. The range is pretty good. Unfortunately the angle is a bit off since my sunroof visor gets in the way of the spot when it's pointed towards the ground. Because of the visor I have them pointed pretty much straight ahead which will be good for the trails, but not so much for the road lol. Whenever I get the wiring fixed on that one that's out I'll pics better pics in the woods showing how bright they are.

hahah wow, thanks man. It's still weird for me to be hearing comments like this. It's not too long ago I was just a stock Blazer riding around. I appreciate the kind words though and I'm glad I was able to help you out!!

Now there is one thing i have heard when it comes to LED's for tails and turn signal. Because of the lowered requirement of power for use, the cars monitoring system will make the flasher blink "faster" as if there was a bulb out. Is this true or is it hub-bub-schmub?

It's all true, you'll need a heavy duty flasher to remedy the problem.

I haven't installed them yet. I didn't think that yanking at my grille in -30degree weather would be healthy for it lmao... I may be able to get away with just pulling the headlights out though, I'm searching for a write up as we speak lol.
Price for the two kits shipped to my door was ~$180.00... compared to local prices ($120 just for the low beams) I got a deal.

I have LED Tail lights, and yes this will happen. Bought an LED flasher off Ebay for like $13 plus shipping and that fixed it.

Yeah, I think they sit in the place of the fuse for the indicator lights... I think, I'll edit with a link for you guys. (And we'll give Sisk his thread back after lol.)

*EDIT*: here's a linkhttp://www.cooperbussmann.com/6/Flashers.html

I would search around though, I know Kyle (Swartlkk) spewed out some automotive genius on the subject at one point.
