    Diode's didn't work, tried that in every direction I could and no difference. I even tried non-polarized bulbs and it still didn't help. This **** is pissing me off.

    Okay now I've tested it and it's fixed. I needed to put load resistors on the blue wire going to ground. Now I just need to solder everything and put it back together.

    I have it figured out, well whats going on at least. The brown parking light wire is back feeding the grey\black wire. The grey\black wire is a wire that gets +12v whenever the parking lights are on to dim the various things in the car (HVAC, etc.) If I could modify the headlight switch to have the grey\black wire disconnected from the brown wire whenever the parking lights are off, I'll be in business. I think. With this problem at least.

    I think I got it. I have to tap the grey\black wire into the headlight wire instead of the parking light wire. It'll act a bit weird if I turn the parking lights on during the day, everything but the HVAC and the PRND321 indicator will dim, then when the headlights turn on those 2 will dim as well. Since I use my automatic lights, everything will dim as usual at night. I still haven't put in the damned EP28 flasher. I'm kinda worried about some stupid bull **** coming up with that.


    So far I've had to put a diode on the blue wire for the 31XXA bulbs up front, load resistors on the brown wire for the 194s up front, and and move this grey\black wire to the yellow wire on the headlight switch. Not all that hard, but figuring out what I that I needed to do those 3 things has been a *****.

    Cancel that. The 194s don't blink unless the parking lights are on.

    Do the LED reverse light perform any better than stock for 04+? The stock ones leave much to desire.

    Little issue going on and I have searched and understand this is common. I installed a LED all in one conversion kit for the low beams. Now the fog lights don’t work. I understand it’s something to do with the current draw. What is the best way to fix this? I have seen solutions from reroute to the parking lights and also resistors. Any suggestions?
