Ok, now, imagine you are holding your thumb on the end of a garden hose. But this time, it's hooked up to a pressure washer used to clean jet engines. Your thumb would not be able to hold back that pressure--in fact, it would probably be removed from your hand with the pressure. Imagine the water in the hose is the electricity going to the bulbs, and your thumb is the capacitor.
well i got the right capacitor ive double checked the numbers and everything...

anyways i got both of them to work. now my only issue is that while driving
my car around it throws me the fog light/ low beam error and either the left or right just cuts out. they turn on when i restart the car but after a few minutes it cuts out again or it just throws the error light at me. dont know what to do anymore... i followed this threads instructions all the way through....

thanks!
