So I looked at radioshack and they have two 6 amp diodes, one that is a 1000v diode and the other is a 400v silicon diode and those are the maximum blocking voltages
which one?
which one?

09chevyavy said:they are the exact same price so I think I will pick up the 1000v this week thanks guys
DouglasOak said:Relays also work great too. They are able to handle high amperage loads, and with it being fused you would never have any issues.
That being said diodes are a LOT cheaper and easier to wire up for the general do it yourselfer type.
(try explaining how to wire a 30/40 amp Bosch relay to someone, describing the different input / output /trigger / and ground terminals!!!)
For the FTDRL and FTFogs Mod you would need 2 relays on 07+
BUT for 03-06 you would need to buy 6 relays (plus associated fuses and taps) and find a home for them somewhere.
Average cost of 6 amp (proper rated) diode= $2.50
Average cost of relay, fuses, and taps= $15ish +
Don't get me wrong it IS a good way to do it, just not () Cheap & Easy!!Code:like the girls I used to date
krazycarguy said:not true, my 08 nonly has one relay, thats fulltime fogs and full time drl, all on high.

krazycarguy, your puddle lights, are they on the bottom of the mirror? if so what and howd u do it? I upgraded my mirrors to the tow mirrors myself and know how to remove them and all that so I would be able to mod them if I know how to do the puddle light, I just dont
krazycarguy said:not sure i understand your question. I havent modded my puddle lights, yet. lol. The puddle lights are controlled by the door modules. If you want the pduule lgiths to come on with the dome lights, you have to run a wire to the mirroe through the door. Ill pull wiring diagrams for you if youd like.
Speedfreak95 said:Hey guys quick question.. A local hardware store has only 10 amp diodes not 6 is the 10 overkill? Figured its cheaper than buying the 6 amp online.
09chevyavy said:Ummm no wheres I just wanted to know haha
09chevyavy said:My stock ones didn't even have them. And I have the LT2 package.....
09chevyavy said:would GM parts direct have the light connector and all that stuff? and then just get a different bulb
09chevyavy said:Id probably wire them to the dome lights, but I dont really want to go chopping up my new mirrors
09chevyavy said:That and use some high strength glue and what not.
09chevyavy said:Whered you find that? I checked at radio shack and the largest they had was a 3 amp
