Please help. I got a pair of hids from the hidguy.net and installed them. However, the driver side keeps turning off. I ordered the plug and play, plus the capacitors. It's not the ballasts, I swapped them to opposite sides and it works, but the driver side still turns off. I cut one of the wires on the factory fog light harness and reattached it, could that be the problem? I currently have the VLED bulbs in it and they work fine. if anyone knows anything, please help.

I tried to get a price for a Snugtop, but they never replied. I'm in northern VA and couldn't find a dealer.

Just had my ARE Z Series cap installed. Not very happy with the over all quality of the cap. It look is great from the outside, however the fit of the cap seems off near the front of the cap near the rear passenger doors. It bows out a little bit. The cap came with 4 holes drilled into the part that sits on the bed rails. Dealer told me ARE shipped them this way to ensure it doesn't move around. Seriously? This company has been around forever and they haven't come up with another way to ship it? The frame around the cheap plastic screen on the pop out window is fastened so tightly that the pastic mesh looks like it will be torn apart the minute I touch it. The screen is cheap plastic and bound to rip apart if anything bumps up against it. The latches that the glass door closes and locks down on is PLASTIC!? And not aluminum as it should be. Dealer told me to be careful and that this is the first part to break with repeated use. Come on ARE....it's 2014 and manufactures in China can make this part for you. I paid $2400 for this cap and I wish I went with the Leer one. I was told that this was the top of the line, best in class, etc....all bull crap. The cap is not worth the hype. I'll post pictures of these issues tomorrow once it's bright outside. It's getting dark here and I want to make sure I capture these issues for everyone to see. Not an ARE issue, but I need to put a weather strip on the tailgate. It's annoying to see daylight on the sides of the tailgate when looking out the rear view mirror. Also tint on cap windows is about 30%. It's also much darker and view is limited, but not too bad. If you're planning on getting a cap do NOT tint the rear facing glass, you won't be able to see anything if you do. I'll be getting the side windows tinted down to 5% to match the rest of the truck, but I will not be tinting the back window/door to the cap so that I can still see out of it at night. See attached picture. I'll post some more tomorrow.

Sorry about reviving an old thread, but if you have a Valentine 1 and see a cop turn off the detector. The police can detect the Val1. I got a ticket recently and afterwards I called Valentine and they told me there was nothing they could do about it. I think Bell is the only vendor that makes a radar detector that is totally invisible to all radar detector detectors.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I'll look into that.

I'm trying to find a replacement for the puddle light in the side view mirrors, can someone tell me what bulb it uses? Please? I'd like to have it a lot brighter than it currently is. Thanks. 2014 slt.
