  1. Well in theory the canbus has a built in resistor to mimic a halogen bulb. I'm pulling power from the battery so this just trick the computer into thinking everything's fine. While the capacitor link to my understanding just regulates the pulsing voltage. (PWM) This just regulates the flickering from the ballasts by taking that pulsing voltage, storing it, and releasing it slowly. They said the can-bus is used instead of a relay but I have one canbus going into the relay to trigger things on and off and a canbus plugged into the other side to just cancel headlight out messages.
  2. They send a few extra cables with the kit as a spare from what I understand. Its for either testing or something where you can shove it right into the headlight output. I can't answer your question about the capacitor as I used a CANBUS on my silverado. The capacitor for my understanding should eliminate error codes as it regulates the voltage from the whole pwm nonsense. On another note I did my retrofit and boy am I happy. Although my driver side projector I screwed up the alignment so its rotated ever so slightly from straight. Can't do anything about it now as I jbwelded it in place and I don't have the willpower to open it up again.
  3. Can anyone point out the parking light wire on the truck harness for the headlights. My aftermarkets didn't come with a parking light wire oddly enough and i'm not quite sure I have the right wire. The relay I have isn't seemingly working correctly.
  4. Winjet aftermarkets. I tried 250 for 20 minutes, 260 for 15, 230 for 25 minutes (per retrofitsource instructions) and all I've managed to do is completely mangle up some of the plastic on the top.
  5. My question (which I'm not sure is here) is how to get past the damn permaseal. I'm trying to open some winjets and baking just isn't working.
  6. Most write ups are a generalized instruction. It is mostly 200 degrees in the oven for about 8 minutes. Take out all screws before hand then start peeling at it. If the rubber isn't melted enough then throw it back in there for a few more minutes at a time. Reverse process with new butyl tape (or old) and throw it back in the oven. Then clamp it together and hope there are no leaks. (You can spread silicon on it afterwards to better seal it up).
  7. I'm living in vegas and I'm getting some terrible fuel economy lately. I've owned the truck for a little over a year now with 10k miles and my average is about 14 mpg. I've driven atleast 2k miles on freeway going from state to state but I'm definitely doing city/highway mix of driving. Admittedly I can probably say my day to day driving is atleast 75% city but my fuel economy is dropping to about a 13mpg average per tank. I don't think I have a leadfoot or anything but I don't know what the problem is. (possible 3.08 gears being the problem or the a/t tires that came with the lt z71. I have no clue)
  8. The second picture with the trailer is probably the most recent one I have however nothing has really changed from the first picture. I don't really have any decent pictures.
