good to hear, it seems like a problem with loose connection (that would explain Natureboy's error msg), but I wonder how it would explain your situation though? seeing as both angels were still functional when you got the error msg

it all depends on how you connect the connectors inside. did you guys end up reusing the 'plastic shielding' on the original live wire? its like a 'L' shaped plastic clip that you are supposed to use so it doesnt 'short' out..i did and mine was been working since i put them on. i drive everywhere with them on and so far soo good. made sure that they were on really really tight when connecting the ground2ground and live2live wires....so tight in fact, i think i still got cuts on my fingers from 1 week ago

it may have been loose but still connected but touching the other wire?

Dude too funny.

pacman - I'm really glad to hear that it was just a loose connection. Maybe when you installed it you just didn't push the terminal in all the way. I know that the spade terminals i used were correct.

Well so now thats 1 problem down and one to go.

and NaTuReB0Y, i'm still sorry your having this problem.

What do these luxrings2.0 look like?

Do they get hot after a long drive? or drain more engery than stock? The reason I ask is for the park feature which leaves one side on.

for "LUX" and "LUX 2.0", you'll find many threads on the subject

in short, mds82 is the creator, it uses LEDs, so no, doesn't draw more power than the OEM setup
