    so its happened twice now the first time it was hard to make out just seemed like static chalked it up to my LED halos being wet and causing a issue immediately dissipated after restarting the car

    after last night rain I went out to start the car and the static was there but it was rather consistent I turned the stereo to max before restarting the car this time
    and the distinction of my engine firing in sync was incredibly obvious

    right now my amp is wired into my fuse box

    Should I move it and connect directly to battery?

    seems like a bad ground somewhere but I'm not sure which to check between battery headlight and amp I have 4 grounds on the vehicle

    and the fact that it only happens while wet and briefly would lead me to believe its moisture under the hood

    I grounded the new lamps to the old grounding bolts but they dont offer the same spacing so there is about 1/4 inch gap around it that I need to weather strip

    Anybody know a place where I could pick up some diy stripping to go around the gap with?
    I'm sorry officer I didnt know I couldn't do that

    pics of these gaps you speak of, you dont want any bare wire, ground or not showing.

    gotta pick up some teflon tape to seal off the passenger side as its been creating some moisture issues
    will probably grab some black rtv sealent and go around them as well and than some shrink wrap to go over all the wires
    swapped amp line to battery

    could it be just grounding out on something when it gets wet due to moisture via small opening in a splice sleeve?
    should I move my ground placement?
    I'm sorry officer I didnt know I couldn't do that

    oh, those gaps, welcome to the aftermarket world.

    you need to seal the housing up.

    maybe drill a 1/8 hole in the bottom to act as a vent.
