That snow screwed up traffic badly, our bus drivers had a heck of a time getting to the schools, just about all were late for afternoon routes, other than maybe the earliest ones when the snow had not built up much yet.

Ok, my wiring harness for the HID's showed up yesterday. I'm trying to figure out where the extra 'branch' of two wires (blue and white) goes. One connector with red and black wires goes to the ballast, but there's another connector that branches off at that same spot, not sure where it goes. Fog lights? This is the H13 high/low kit for the headlights. Also, the bulbs themselves have an extra small black connector with a red and black wires, one each. I'm not seeing where that goes. Maybe a few of you guys with these kits can tell me what to do?

No, not yet, but I might attempt an install on Saturday. I have a bunch of parts sitting here that I'm anxious to see on the car.

Morning.
Got dragged out last night. "Just for a few" Well, a few turns into a few more, then a few more, then before you know it, the lights go on, "Last call for alchohol!"

I've got my camera on the charger, going to install the HID's on Saturday for sure, and I'll get a few photos then. Also, I have a smoked LED third brake light, SHR shifter bezel, and CDC dead pedal (matches GT500 pedals) to install, will get photos of those too.

It's snowing pretty good here, made it about half way home from work and then visibility decreased big time. I had to slow down quite a bit, but I still made it home in just about the same amount of time as usual.
