The Diodes I used from Radio Shack just barely made it. And just the past couple of weeks mine setup hasn't been works as it should. I think I'm going to ditch the diode and just put some wire in there.

If you use wire in there all your lamps will be lit whether you have it on hi or low beam. Take juction box apart and solder or crimp diode in from the underside.
Yeesh! C'mon, folks... soldering a 2" wire to either end of the diode isn't hard... and it takes all of 3-5 minutes! Once you have that done, you can easily reach 'em and you don't have to take anything apart or anything else. I can't tell you how many of these things I've made for friends and family.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right... especially when doing it right takes 5 minutes. :doh:
No. I've had this done for nearly 6 months now and it's fine. Replaced my halogens with HIR's and replaced the fogs with Silverstars. It's like daylight in front of my truck with the all lights on mod! Gotta love it!
Search on eBay for Toshiba HIR - that guy is the only source for HIR's I know of. As for the fogs - those are Silverstar's - I don't recall the number, but the bulb number showed up in an application guide at the Autozone I bought 'em at. Should not be hard to track down.
