when you got the tubes, were they colored like the ones mike got (thicker) or were they thin and clear? if you go to Fry's they have both and i got the clear thin ones. these come with enough wire that you don't need to extend and worry about loss of power.
and are you following the link you gave or why not do the one randy wrote up ways back. the parking lights have to be on all the time but the instructions are very simple and you don't need any extra wires cuzz everything fits.

2) my tubes are clear with stripes on them.
3) im thinking of doing it randy's way, it looks much easier, i just haven't had time to go back and do it. i have this sunday and monday off, so i think i'm going to try it again

dang bloody, you got the nicer ones. they are the same brightness but the color looks more original. if you don't get it, the bbq sounds just fine and it only takes like 30min, faster if you know what the hell your doing.

I blew up the converter box on the cold catherder. the first set worked for like 2 min and then I thought i crossed a wire and the power suply fried. so it took those back got a diffrent brand and they never lit. then I took them back and tested the third set in comp usa's parking lot, they never lit an like 3 sec later I heard a lod pop the inverter box had blown in 2 pieces.
