For you guys that added some length to the ground wire; how did you do it? Would something like this work?

Seriously?! How about "dude" has a business and offers/advertises a certain product at a certain price? That's what you expect to get in a reasonable time.

Tux, I'm glad you're trying to correct the problems. Hope it all gets worked out.

Just clip the ground wire somewhere it will be covered by the sleeving, and solder a longer portion on with a new ring connector on it. Cover the joint with shrink tubing (recommended) or tape. Any auto parts store will have the supplies.

Can you give me an idea of how far back in the backorder list I am? I ordered on 6/13. Thanks!

Probably a dumb question. But does the TRS harness allow you to put hid bulbs in the stock non-projector housings. I seem to be getting mixed info. I plan on getting projectors (either oem or retro) eventually but I was wanting to run the hids in the stock housings in the interim. Additional parts needed? Do you still need to add ballasts? Additional harness? Bad idea? Should I just go with a DDM kit?
