For theradioflyer - is this the way it works all the time or should it shut off after the 10-15 minute delay built into the car's electrical system?

I have a lot of my bulbs that are affected by the timer replaced with LED's. I think that it takes longer for them to shut off now because they are drawing less current from the RAP circuit. But since they are drawing less power it hasn't concerned me.

We have noticed no issue with the time-delay circuit and have not had this issue reported by customers.

I have the "rectangular one with the loops on the end" and I ruined it the first time - trying to solder on some loops in order to adapt it to the brass tangs that held in the OEM light (which of course face the wrong direction). Any tips so I don't mess up another?

sorry to threadjack, but where does the factory wiring for the underhood light come from? I traded my aftermarket hood (without a light) for a stock one and can't see where the wiring harness plugs into.

If you work backwards from the headlight, you'll probably run right into it: you're looking for an empty 2-conductor connector.

I tried the Corvettemods and after a couple months one night I noticed that they weren't working I took of the lens and found it filled with all the diodes!!! Don't know for certain but maybe the engine heat effected them. Can you tell me where I can get some of the "3 super-bright CREE XP-E LEDs". I'd like to give them a try.

no, the cargo lights use forward-firing 194 bulbs
