keep in mind, you don't have to wait for the led to go out, this just gives you a referance to when they are on or off. If it's cold, wait longer, if it's 35degrees, I wouldn't wiat 2 minutes.

I've waited the whole time, when you crank her over, it will come back on if needed.

I've seen a couple of your posts today, are you just having a bad day?

I like KNOWING what my GP's are doing so this is a waste of time? OK, that's fine, it's my time, I'll waste it thank you.

i think they cycle based on engine temperature, IIRC. if the engine temperature is less then 135* or something like that they cycle.

Did the LED light mod on Sun. Nice addition to the A-pillar ! Notice the o-ring on the light.
