I think that's ignition, or memory.

Then you can't hard wire it. The plugs are regulated for the correct voltage, if you run too much, it will fry it.

If you got 12 volts to it, it's possible. Splice the wires back together, and try it through the cigarette plug.

Default Figured I'd share some night shots of the lights

The head lights are not on, the halos are putting out the light.

well i lowered my car in the rear earlier today. at firsti lowered the coilovers all the way i didnt think it was low enough so i then took the collars off to lower it more. well at that point it was way too low and i had a little bit of rubbing. i did take pictures of it this low and in myh opinion it is too low even by looking at it. i then went back in and raised the coilovers about a half inch maybe a bit more. when i got the wheels back on it looked great just the top of the tread tucking, the bad thing was when i took it for a ride it lowered a bit more and rides really really bouncy in the rear. so in the morning i am gonna just put the collars back on and lower the coilover all the way and drive it like that for right now and see if it settles to how i like it. i will post up the pics of it slamed and as it sits now and then the final product tomorow
