    The original comments centered around reversing the polarity of the power to the light. So no, you can't reverse them at the light bulb because of the shape of the plug, but in the T r i c l e d set I installed there is a connector between the ballast and bulb that can be reversed. I had to reverse it on one of the lights when it didn't turn on! But why they think it needs to be there I don't know.

    Re-visit my post #3 …… I was able to reverse the OEM plug ( which just changed the polarity ) and this solved the problem …. Mike ...…………...PS " the original comments centered around reversing the polarity " - question which original comments are you referring to ...Post #1 - #2 …. My orig. post addressed those...… your welcome ….. Mike

    First......there seems to be a lot of folks with a similar problem who would benefit from a "fix".
    So why convey that information in a PRIVATE MESSAGE to only one user ???

    Second, a simple "resistor" is NOT usually a fix for any kind of radio interference problem. It never has been.
    I suspect that what you got really should be called something else.

    When at the Spyders on the Bayou I visited with Spyderpops and he was going to get in contact with his supplier of the fog lights and see what they recommend or think what the cure will be.
