Well, it's the natural oil from the skin that causes the bulbs to explode. Always wear clean gloves when handling the bulbs.

 

Altitude......definitely altitude.

See ya at the Vette show.

 

Hey JGJ, i saw a truck almost identical to yours when i was driving thru texas on 287 this weekend, only without the light bar and bumper.

 

thanks for all the help guys! Id had the sivlerstars in for over2 years now is why i dont know why it exploded. I made sure to never touch them as I was putting them in.


JGG--So ur goin to be at the show? awesome I wasnt sure if you would or not. I just went and signed up yesterday last minute.

 

Sent my stuff in last month but havn't heard back from them. So, I'm assuming that I'm entered since they have the entry money and all. I'm only doing the Sat. thing though. I'm not doing the Friday setup/party thing since I'll have my 3 year old son with me this show.

 

I dont understand how the move in/registration works. it never says when to be there. the lady at vintage just said to come by friday cuase she didnt know either?? I dont want to cause a mess like at make a wish...


Also are any of you guys with hids getting a static interference with the radio or flickering? I read about these two problems in my searches around here??

 

I just know that the paperwork said registration from 12:00 - 5:00 on Friday and 7:00 - 10:00 on Saturday.

 

My Silverstars have been in for a year, in my old truck then moved to my new truck. No problems, but then I didn't touch them when I was putting them in either.

 

from what i can tell you bought a kit that isnt wired with a relay ,you should also buy a hid relay harness because when you unlock your truck ,the headlights will flicker/strob like a disco inferno lol they do that cause when you unlock ,it only send the bulbs a small amount of juice and that small amount isnt enough to spark the hid's , but then again i could be wrong maybe they do have the relay harness

 

i bought the same kit months ago. it comes with a harness/relay. it has everything you need.

 

Well I bought the relays today but didn't have time to install yet. Still pondering about the radio. Anyone know of a better way to ground the lights? The said that can help. Other wise I need to wrap them in somthing. I have a billit antenna too. That might cause something.

 

Jolly green, you just goin to the show sat. morning?

What is everyone doing with their ballasts??

 

I'll be there as early as I can. Probably soon after they open registration. I get to bring my 3 year old along for this one so it may take us a little longer to get there.

 

Called the head dog of the show today. If you signed up for the concourse judging it'll be inside. The open show non-concourse will be outside. I'll be outside.

 

idk where ill be. I payed 30 bucks for judgin??
