OKAY SO i installed my headlight strobes....and ran the wiring ...(WHAT A BITCH...) i mean there is almost no where to go through the firewall..anyhow, so i plug all the wiring into the Strobe module....and turn it on....hey it works..hey it doesn't work....HOLY s***..SMOKE...coming from the module....so i pull the wire that is the cause of the smoke....phew...blow on it a few times.....make sure there is no flames.....so i open the module...and FRIED...
no biggy, getting a new one tomorrow..and i know exactly why....one of the connectors that go into the transformer to the headlight strobes wasn't completely seated...causing a short....nothing else got toasted. I pulled my cigarette lighter fuse...(thats where its connected to, for constant power)....
BUT...my car now smells like a plastic factory that went up in flames....
so....moral of this story.....BUY STROBES...ITS FUN. so tomorrow i get my windows tinted...CAN'T WAIT....thursday i re-install my new module..and my MBRP EXHAUST..oh yes people....it's coming.....and will be here tomorrow....YES YES..MBRP....
Thats my story for tonight...
