What power did you tap into for your running lights?

Not sure. I got a guy that's good with wiring to do it.

And the radio actually don't stop playing. I just tested it out again.

The radio loses reception and is fuzzy sounding when I turn my lights completely on.

lol Both. I was thinking that maybe a ground the ran to the radio was disturbed on the light install.

my bet is on lights...

did this HID kit just come with connectors you plug right into stock harnesses, or did it come with a wiring harness that consists of adapters for the stock harness + relays + wires to the battery...

The better kits come with relays to give full battery power to the lights.

To me, sounds like to much power is getting drawn at once. +1 on Jigs question, did it come with relays and all that? The sound system I had running in my Dakota used to make my deck "flicker" all the time, but I didnt have a capacitor installed on that set-up which is why that happened.

Well it came with a harness but it was damaged and we wasn't sure on how to connect the thing anyway. He normally knows how but we both wasn't sure on this one.

Odd. Was the harness salvageable? I mean could you have just fixed the wires or spliced into the harness? But it came with all the stuff you needed though right? Relays, all wire, etc?

I been hoping you would write a review as I think I might pull the trigger and order me a set. They look good on your truck.

Just out of curiosity where you did you ground the l.e.d.'s for the lights to the same spot you used as the ground for your amp?

Well we got the harness fixed. We are still not sure how to install it to the lights. There's a lot of connections and all and we're not 100% sure on it. And yeah it came with everything. The harness isn't an extra $19.99 anymore, it's included.

And no I didn't ground them both to the same spot.
