I don't have a new switch yet (I am ordering one today) but I removed my existing one and cleaned it with MAF cleaner; I saw that on a few threads at renntech I think. That resolved the lights coming on/off problem; everything comes on right away like it is supposed to.

I went ahead and installed the 2nd litronic light and went for a little test drive last night... Again I am not impressed. Output is *maybe* 75% of what I had with the halogens.

I am going to pull the bulbs out and take a look at them today to see if they are exhibiting any sign of aging and if I can get a replacement bulb locally I am going to try that.

PS I really though that these Litronics were going to be significantly brighter than my stock halos. I am wondering if maybe they are not and I just had the wrong expectation going in?
