Todd, The new capacitor worked perfectly. Thanks. Jason

Definitely grounded. I soldered its ground and the driver side ballast ground into a 10ga and attached that ring to the firewall ground with dielectric grease. I just sent you and email. thanks, Jason

Todd, I swapped polarity on the capacitor with no change. Still experiencing flutter, flicker, and no fire conditions. Do you have the specs on the capacitor? I would like to try a new one from Radio Shack. thanks, Jason

Todd, Happy Thanksgiving. I haven't had a chance to call. Are you open tomorrow normal hours? Thanks, Jason

Ok! what time are you available? Jason

Hi Todd, Yes I got the kit back with the new harness, thanks. I'm still getting flutter in the passenger side bulb as well as the occasional no fire. I'm also experiencing the driver's side bulb turning off while driving, if I turn off the lights and turn them back on it will usually turn back on. I've tried three different grounding points all of which are factory grounds firewall, frame, etc (with dielec grease) for each ground with no luck. Any suggestions? thanks

Well got my kit back from Retro after a bench test. I grounded both balasts at the firewall ground with 10 gauge wire. I still get fluttering and "no fire" conditions. Very Frustrating.

So you aren't using the optional capacitor?

Can you elaborate a bit more on how you wired this to get rid of the flutter? Thanks, Jason

Yeah, Todd mentioned the sanding trick to me also. I tried it with no luck. I even ran an extension from the harness ground to the chassis ground....no luck. I haven't tried the 30A fuse yet. There is now a timing delay?? So we have to buy a capacitor, a harness, AND a timing relay now to make this kit work???

Does anyone (with the retrosolutions kit) have an issue with a lamp not firing when using the automatic headlights feature? What about bulb "flutter"? When I had my RS kit on my edge (with the recommended harness AND capacitor) I would have intermittent issues with one or both lamps not firing as well as a "flutter" in one or both bulbs. The flutter was very noticeable and would occur while driving and/or while stopped. I tried new lamps, multiple grounding locations, new fuses, etc. I finally gave up and yanked the kit out however, I would really like to use the kit since I paid for it. Any ideas? Thanks, Jason

well......what's the problem?

Wow! if you would take the time to do a full detailed write up I'm sure many people would greatly appreciate it! Jason

looks like a pretty straight forward install. Do you have matching tweets to go in the pillars? What amp(s) are you running these with

cool!

any issues with "no fire" or "bulb flutter" conditions? I have a set from Retro and I have NEVER been able to get them to work properly. I am also using the capacitor and harness recommended by Retro. Thanks, Jason

does that mean you want people to post them up?

I towed my jetski (~1100) about 460 miles from Michigan to Pennsylvania and averaged 20.1 mpg

Mine grinds when cold also. I try to be light on the pedal until they get up to temp.

could be an ABS sensor. they tend to trigger the brake light on the dash.

where can I get those brakes!!! :-D

very cool, I'd like to see the end result (video if possible)

fine print says offer not valid with A/Z/D plans. The coupon was addressed to me. Kinda bummed but whatever.

thanks I appreciate it!! I'd like to do the puddle lamp mod if you have a detailed instructions I'd appreciate it. Jason

could you give me a part number for the puddle lamps and lic. plate lights? Thanks!
