I need help!! I've swapped the led's to blue and they worked great. I left out the whole radio control thing for about 2 months until today. I hooked the deal back up and now they won't even light up. What happened?!?! I checked the lights and the solder. Everything looks fine. Is there a fuse or somthing that could have been blown? Or should I just order that whole part and redo it?

It's not just you, its very tight from the factory. I use a T30 torx bit and fit it into a socket, then put it on the extension piece and use the leverage of my socket wrench to loosen it. Works like a charm.

Lol. No break bar needed. I meant the 3" extender that often comes with a small socket wrench set. Nothing too complicated or "grease monkey" worthy, just something simple to loosen the initial tightness of the bolt.
7 foot breaker bar is nuts!! Lol.
