^^ lol well if its mounted to metal it should be good to go.. I kind of just left them dangling in there.. Oh fuck, be easy on me guys
FWIW I have resistors for my LED drls but i got those mounted in the engine bay with no issues there , just issues with the drivers side turn signal cuz I left the "gold thing" (LOL) loose and forgot to revisit it and mount it properly.. totally a fail
I place the blame on THC

Good shit figuring out your electrical issue. If you've overcome your fear of taking the bumper off or if it's still off, double check EVERYTHING. The bracket that goes from body to ballast can be easily bent out of shape during install and can fuck with the massive ground point just below it during install (driver side). There's also a pretty sizable wire loom that contains hots and grounds that seemed to sit pretty tight to said bracket; I was worried that over time continuous rubbing would eat through. Wrapped that shit in fiber paper.
Dont be intimidated by taking the bumpers off. Be forceful, yet gentle. I've done it 4 times so far and dreaded every minute. Take your time and you'll be ok.
Please deposit $0.02 lol

Do you think they'll need to take the bumper off?

Trick question.
The first step is to take the bumper off.

We're headed somewhere...
what did you do to counter hyper blink? Modify the lighting board, or traditional resistors? If so, were the resistors for that side accidentally tapped into the parking light circuit or not mounted well enough and got hot and burned a hole in a wire causing a short. I'd
next remove all LED signal stuff and try a halogen bulb. LED lighting can cause some funky funky shit on this car.

Sometimes everything works and sometimes when i engage my low beams the drivers side HID will just flicker while the passenger side sputters from High beam to low then will stay on low beam (as per the first video I posted)

I dont! Which is why Ill have to bring it to a shop that does aftermarket stereos and shit as they deal with this kind of stuff on the daily! I know the guy there so he will give me the homie discount.
Me and my buddy were poking around at shit today and we are stumped! Again, trouble shooting with the bumper off is clearly what is needed!
Mechanical shit is one thing to deal with but electrical stuff is not mine or his forte

I mean I did wire up my LED DRL's and the fog lights (which work perfect) lol but fuck I hated every minute of it. The end result was rewarding however.
I know this issue is something minor and stupid though, I can sense it.
