    Can you post up some information about your projector headlight retrofit?

    Actually install is easy, took me 5 minutes. It put my abs and traction lights on. Problem was solved with a $15 led load resistor kit. Just spliced the resistors between the green and black wires and attached them to the metal of the car (they get super hot).

    All lights turned off as soon as I turned the car back on and hit the brakes. No problems since!

    Can you let me know what load resistor kit you used as well? If you are not having any issues, I want to make sure I am doing the same thing.

They did mention that the fluid in the trans is not OEM so might be causing problems.
    Drove her home and didn’t have a single issue, got up to 80mph and not a problem so looking like it was an issue caused by the cars computer. Due for trans fluid change anyway and would feel better having the Mitsu fluids in there so gonna change that over the weekend.

    Hey Scooter - considering your recent problems, it might be worth checking your LED load resistors - especially if they get 'super hot' - or maybe return back to ordinary incandescent bulbs, if only to see if your engine troubles are affected by this.
