its not bad. i'm in Northern Cali which is compltetely different from southern cali (LA, san deigo, etc.) i'm about an hour from san fransisco so the closest big city is an awesome one and i like that its a drive to get there rather than live in the chaos. and there's wine country near by (the wife loves it) the red woods and ski resorts another 2-3 hours north. its the best of two worlds. the benefits of the city and the fun of the outdoors. love it! i miss texas, especially DRIVING in texas so i like the visit every year but there's so much more here! sorry about the life story but i just talked to a friend back home on the same subject and its all still fresh in my head. :mrgreen:

probably, do your lights dim at idle, or anything light that? try a grounding kit and relay for the hids?

like i stop somewhere and the car wont start and then (typical in cali) no one will give me a jump. does C3 customs still sell them? their site is weird. couldn't find them.

Yeah that sounds like too much drain on the battery, plus it's only like 11.2 volts or so that it won't start our car.

C3 makes them to order I believe? Send him an email. It's easiest.
