DJ,

I don't know if you should have to swap the fuses out. When I ran Litronics on my car they were fine with the halogen fuses. Do you mind linking the thread you read?

ill go get some 15A fuses tomorrow and see what happens...they clearly cant keep the lights on, kill the fuse within a second

D,


As everyone has stated I'll bet it's the fuse amps. In the kit I recieved it directed the owner to change out the fuses for litronic installation. My car was made in Finland and already had the higher amp fuses as well as all the corresponding holes necessary for the conversion.

i just picked up some 15A fuses, put them in, slid the light in, and it works great.

what holes are you talking about? my light just went in the same way as stockers

In the directions that come with the litronics, it directs you to locate holes for the electrical lines if I remember right. It goes on to say if the holes are not there to drill them out, mine, like yours apparently, already had everything set up for litronics.

From my failing memory, think the early cars came with 7.5 amp fuses for the low beams, then changed to 15 amp. When we did the litronic retrofit on a 2000 and 2002 I seem to remember they already had 15 amp fuses. The instructions do say to check what you have and if they are 7.5 amp to replace them with 15 amp.
