If anyone might know the problem i would really appreciate it or if someone could guide me to a write up or something ive searched on here and googled it but no luck.
Thank you Allen


Did you ever do the Halogen bulb wiring conversion wiring when you installed the Tsurus? That thin gauge shit use OEM is not great for higher wattage bulbs.

Get a set of bulbs other than those that came with the Tsurus. Swap with a friend if you can just test. I am wondering if your MDM Tsuru bulbs carry a different resistance as mentioned above.

Eventually you will want more light for them than the 60W/55W or 65W/55W anyway, thats' not even close to enough low beam for our cars with these lights IMHO.

This says you've got a problem with the alternator still, whether it be the alty itself or wiring somewhere. With the car running, you can disconnect the battery and it should still run with no issues.
