Just started to install the kit. I always ( well most/some times anyway) read and try to understand the instructions before committing to the project. Saves a lot of mistakes and time = (frustration and throwing things) No wires have been cut.or new relays installed. The 4 bulbs are still in he carton. If all goes well today and I get back home I'll try again to sort this problem out. Dennis Jowell Scotch Hollow Farm Newbury, Vermont

Sounds like the designer of the kit doesn't want the headlight grounds served by double wires through a single terminal. There are better ways to do this, like relaying the lights and/or running grounds to the frame near the lights instead of all the way back to the star. > > You might ask BD directly, they are pretty good at helping with stuff like that. > > Jim > >> On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 5:15 AM, Dennis Jowell <dennisjowell@gmail.com> wrote: >> Jim >> The basic problem on the headlight install is step one of the instructions. " unplug the double ground wire from ground star and cut them into 2 singles wires. Check to make sure you have the correct ground connection by noticing with the ground wire unplugged that the existing Headlights go out" sounds good- I disconnected all the ground wire one at a time from both stars and the headlights don't go out. I will try again this afternoon. >> >> Dennis Jowell >> Scotch Hollow Farm >> Newbury, Vermont >> > |
