Just installed my upgrade after the flicker problem. Putco harness, Rampage housings, Silverstar bulbs. As everyone else has stated, the difference over stock is amazing.
The only issue right now is my lights won't turn off until I put the transmission into Park. Any ideas why? I filed/sanded the paint off where the ground wires attached. I do not have factory fogs ('99 Classic). 3-prong male from Putco harness connected into the factory passenger side plug, driver side factory plug stayed disconnected.

Just took harness back out. When turning headlight on caused whole dash to go black, radio off and amp gauge pegged at 18 with check gauges light on. Also when shutting off engine would cut all power and be totally dead. Took out, went back to factory wiring no issues except crappy lights. Oh well I tried!
