It really has me scratching my head

Ok....so did you change any wiring? and this condition did not exist prior to you changing just the bulbs in the front headlights?

You may have the headlights hooked to the turn signal wires.

I keep thinking I screwed up something in the wiring too, but it really just unplugging the old 9004 style and plugging in a new one. Similar to an extension cord. Kinda stupid proof, at least I thought that. I will unplug and replug and check again to make sure I did not pinch any wires together.

I just keep thinking it has to be something with the single stage bulb replacing the hi/low 2 stage bulbs but like u guys can't figure out how the brake light wire comes into play.

Yup, it was the bulbs. I found the old ones and switched them back. hopefully soone can learn from my mistake. Anyone know if they even make the hi/low LED bulbs? If not, any recomendations for halogen

I also canceled my ordered 42v/12v reducer after reading on here that 10amp may be a little under powered, especially if i have to stay with halogen bulbs. What are most of u guys using for a reducer/converter? 20amp? I was trying to save a little $ but after replacing batts it seems a little silly to try to save $40 on a reducer.

I'd go 30 amp on the reducer, Scottyb sells a great one for 89 bucks:

Thanks Jake, That's the one I have been looking at and started to order initially but the website indicated it was out of stock, I now see it also says In Stock. It references "buggiesgonewild.com" for tech support. Are there specifics on here that I am missing? I was trying to find dimensions so I know I can find room for it under the seat. Pretty cramped under there now.

Thanks,
Dave
