    lights

    how hard to change all my lights to led. i hear this saves power and since i cant get the current one to work probably would be a good idea. do i need anything other than the lights.....and conversion kits or anything

      You will still need to get the wiring sorted out to run LEDs. They do use a lot less power, but you still need to have clean, reliable connections or nothing's ever going to work reliably. Have a browse through some of the technical articles about electrical gremlins to see what you might be up against.

        I would suspect it is a grounding issue.

          Cowboy - mine are picky about how the wires are connected. There's a negative and a positive that need to be in the correct places. Switch 'em around and they don't work right. Sure you got all your +'s and -'s in the right holes?
