Ordered a fleece all lights on module. At some point I gotta figure how to get the DRL's always on, but at least for now I'll have 6-hi. I'd throw some pictures up of the repaired rockers but the truck is disgustingly dirty. Mostly winning the rust battle right now, there's a few tiny places i'll touch up soon.
Anybody have tips on oil coating the underside? I'm looking at just filling a pump sprayer with some used oil mixed up and going to town.

I used to use tranny fluid, cleans it up some too..
Put the fleece module in a few weeks ago, and my “intermittently working” drivers side HID is not “not working”
I’m thinking it’s a coincidence due to junk ballasts, but is there any chance that I’m not getting enough power for both hids, the lows and the fogs? I haven’t the time or the patience to play switcheroo with ballasts, especially when the high is around 35 right now. In a couple weeks I’ll be able to use my dad’s heated shop.

When HID’s do work right without a relay, thats just a coincidence, you need to run them on a relay, to solve your problem.

Are your auto headlights disabled? If not, that's your problem. I blew a couple ballasts before I figured out I needed to disable mine. It seems that as you're trying to start the truck, the auto headlights are turning on at the same time, when the voltage is low from cranking the starter. That blows ballasts because they're trying to fire up when they don't have enough power. I disabled the auto feature and no more blown ballasts years later. I turn the headlights on after the truck starts, and I have the full-time DRL and fog light mods so those all hit at once too.
It’s just HID highs. My low beams are LED.
Never mind...
Fixed my dead ballast, pretty sure it's just because I was using cheap amazon HIDs. Bought another ballast for 15 bucks and hooked it up, everything works now. I need to wire my DRL's into my 6-hi so I can have 8-hi.
Initially I just had the ballasts wedged under the plastic shroud. I forgot to take a photo while I had the cover off of how I mounted them. They are on plates, screwed into the support, hidden by the shroud. I just used a small self-tapper and a washer to hold the plates.
Changed my oil, fixed my weathertechs by turning them inside out and leaving them inside overnight, they aren't pulling in on themselves anymore.

That’s a nice clean install on the ballast

Thank you. It was pretty easy, spent the most time digging through my scrap screw bin to find the right size self tappers. Definitely beats the mount lol
Hate that shit, knowing you have it, screw washer everything but digging thru other shit to find it...lol
I def need to get more organized
I just have a plastic bin full of any fastener that isn’t bent that me or my dad pulled out of something. It could be much better lol.
At one time i had 1 quart oil bottles cut open and cut down to fit in one tool box drawer.... not anymore

That's actually a good idea.
I got about 7 clear plastic bins with 12 compartments each then a couple coffee cans full of bigger bolts and nuts and it's still not enough.
It happens sometimes.....sometimes
Ordered a bag of 194 leds's for my denali, and I'll use the rest on my dad's truck, my work truck, and my moms car.
Went to put them in my map lights and the reflector shrouds wouldn't fit. I guess they used friction to stay in over the stock bulbs, but these 194s are bigger and the shroud won't fit over them, and I can't put them in and push the bulb through.
Anyone else who's done LED interior lights- did your shrouds fit or did you just leave them out?
