Well, hopefully I'll never get pulled over. I'm not much of a speeder but I'm sure they'll find some bogus excuse someday about too much graphics or something

Speaking of which, I saw a silver lancer today and it had graphics too! not as extreme as mine but still... lol. Some old guy drivin' it though with his hoochie trophy wife.

My car is full of scratches, chips, and rust. You'll get used to it. They don't stay perfect looking forever! lol

And its F-ing FREEZING out... it's not snowing here but it's mighty cold alright and will probably snow tomorrow.

Thats just a capacitor and its a simple DIY if you got the tools. Capacitor is about a buck or two, need a soldering iron and tape etc.
More about it is explained here

I prefer Option#3

Option 1: HID's are ON with switch in Position 1, 2 or 3 (no flicker)

1) Buy an HID kit that has a wiring harness AND relay (most of them nowadays do)
2) Install everything as normal in the HID kit including wiring the remote turn on lead to the factory 9006 bulb harness
3) Remove relay from socket and use a voltmeter to measure the polarity in the relay socket on pins 85 and 86 to see which is positive and which is negative (when the headlight switch is in the ON position) - for mine, terminal 86 was positive and terminal 85 was negative
4) Buy an Electrolytic, Polarized Capacitor at Radio Shack or local electronics/stereo store 25V (or higher) and 2000uF (or higher)

5) The capacitor has a marking down the side indicating which terminal is negative
6) Solder the negative lead to the relay lead you noted (in step 3) as negative and the positive lead to the relay lead you noted as positive
7) Insulate the exposed leads with electrical tape or shrink tubing so they don't short out

8) Put the relay back in the socket
9) Test it all out!

**If your HID kit came with an extra 9006 Socket cable extension (as mine did), you can solder the capacitor in parallel with this cable INSTEAD of directly to the relay, then install this cable from the factory 9006 harness to the HID remote turn-on lead:

Noon?? That's prime sleep time...What I should have done is do it when I get home at 8am so at least I had some light. But I just got them in the mail and couldn't wait...
