That's what the diodes are for that HB provides. But I guess you found another way to do it?

No I used the diodes and still had the issue. I was wondering why that didn’t work. I just eliminated the bridged ground and I think that solved the problem. Edit - I see I installed them wrong now. Oh well not a big deal. I might fix them later.

Fixed the wiring. Now it works as it should.
I trimmed my inner fenders. Used an air body saw. Came out pretty good. I just need some touch up paint and see if they clear.

Looks good. I dont have access to an air saw so i'll have to finesse it with my grinder/cut off wheel and maybe use a drill bit to radius the corners.

Highly recommend the air saw if you can buy one but the cut off wheel and grinder will work. Its hidden so it doesn’t have to be pretty.

How much did the amp steps cost? Looking at buying the HB brackets but want to know what my all-in parts cost is gonna be. Don't need part number just price. Thanks
