H.I.Ds fitted and sidelights wired up
Honestly earthing the hids is no problem, how often do you flash in daylight! With the 80w Ring superbrights ( £15 on ebay ) added to mains, they are same colour as hids and give appreciable extra light when both on. thought about doing relay as got spare relay, but the thought of cutting into wires and disturbing the fuse box scared the living daylights out of me. zed wiring not the most stable?

October Meet
Apologies from me, was going to be in Plymouth anyway on sunday to view a few cars that my son wanted to get ( first car, as just passed test ). then on Saturday we found a car in Bristol, so ended up there on Sunday. Anyway we bought it; Seat Ibiza, tidy first car. Just trying to sort insurance now!!! £2K Weather was absolutely crap all weekend, glad I took the Astra up. Promise will be at next one if south of Bristol somewhere.

have you earthed the hids? so they stay on when you put main beam on. Also you can upgrade your mains with Ring 80w suprbrights, they match the colour of the HIDs. Now for the side lights/ indicators - leds in fogs ok, but if you put fogs on will melt leds, so upgrade to H3 leds! Amber LED indicators will need ballasts added to stop fast flash syndrome.

Stopped cheque?
You should of got them to put chq gaurantee card no. on back. then they cannot stop it. If it was deliberately stopped then it is a criminal offence, obtaining goods or services by deception, police matter: you can use this to get her to pay up or go to police.

Have you checked wiring by fusebox yet? as it seems to have started just after heavy rain. Try drying out with hairdryer? took me three days to find thats what it was with mine as it didnt look wet but water had got behind box and was shorting connections. Dried it out as above and hey presto aok ,then found split in tube.
