Belt squeek! Replaced belt, tensioner pulley, and both idler pulleys...still squeeks. Any advice?

Also, have HIDs hooked up and everything and I got the wiring harness weedahoe told me to get along with the resistors but where do they get wired inline with? or accross?

and last but not least rustoleum has a lense tint now (or maybe they did but I never noticed) so I bought some and painted my tailights and third brake...stuff looks awesome, especially with the LED bulbs!

I can only guess the belt is a fraction too big...it must be it

I would shoot a little WD40 on each of the pulleys until I found the one squealing.

could be the water pump, PS pump or all. Those all have pulleys also. I would suggest using a stethoscope and using it to probe and listen and having a can of WD40 or something close by so you can spray as you go to try to eliminate things.

As for the resistors and HIDs, forgive me for not remembering exactly which you have but if it is HID Hi/Lo then you should have 4 resistors and one should go from the high beam wire to the common wire and the other should go from the low beam wire to the common wire. This can take place right behind the OEM 9007 headlight plug
