Are you putting in turn signal LEDs? Did you get the electronic flasher with the ground built in? What made you go HID over LED options? How much did the interior door handle run you?

Hahaha, I was thinking that as I was typing but the questions just wouldn't stop

Wow for a second I thought my girl was secretly spying on me through the forum hahahaha.
The handle was $25 from autozone. Yes, turn signal leds, no ground flasher. I actually wanted the hyper flash so I went with the no ground. Honestly, I went with hid because my phone is a sneaky salesman and popped up an hid ad in the middle of a game I was playing.

a friend of mine sells auto accessories and he does not stock the LED headlights any longer due to the problems that people have with them and the cost of good ones cannot compete with the HID kits. He has sold and installed HID for years and no issues with those.

Yeah I have hids on all my cars and have never had a problem. I got one of those cheapo kits from Ebay for my 61 and even those run flawlessy

might have to look into those handles since my buddies kid bent my driver side anyways, not to mention I really wanted to go gunmetal grey anyways with them to get rid of the chrome. Yeah I didn't mind the look of hyperflashing in some of my old vehicles, just wasn't sure how much LED you were doing because the wiring almost requires some of the resistance of the halogens to function properly. They do that very well, I personally just really got tired of my HIDs failing on my GTO.

Funny, when I had HIDs in my truck, they were nothing but problems. One's out- is it the ballast? is it the bulb? Is it both? 3 strikes and they came out.

Same thing I went through constantly with my GTO, the pair in my Edge were much better but still had replacements needed and it actually blew out my headlights somewhere further back that I had a hell of a time fighting with Ford about. I pulled them and took them to get warranty with stock bulbs in it, they blamed it on the LED DRL's I was running which were just wired to have a signal for the turn signals to work which obviously made no sense.
