that happens when you don't have a big enough power and ground wire going to the deck...

if you don't want to up the wire gauge, then use RCA cables instead of speaker wires to your amp.

RCA's won't pull power from the deck.

I was only running the stock power and ground wires but I did have it set-up as you suggested running rca cables from deck to amp. I should have clarified, it only "flickered" when bass and volume were CRANKED right up lol. Thats why I was figuring capacitor was needed.

Yeah I have RCA's to my amp too.

But protuninglab sent me the link to the directions on how to install the harness and all to the lights so I'll do that on a weekend I'm free.

When you got it all sorted, post some light distribution pics.

Will do. Might be a week or so though. They say they are adjustable but I don't see how. I went up to a store since the siding is white brick and turned my beams on and they seem pretty good. I'll get pictures up when my truck gets back.

Kinda dumb they didn't just put the instructions with the kit.

Mind PM'ing me the same link? As I'm sure I will need it when I purchase mine.

Yep that's what I thought.

And I'll pm you later on with the link and all. My iPod can't handle multi tasking without crashing.
