That's interesting.  I got mine from MM Marketing and it works great.  It

was a 1-wire installation.  The only brain work involved the fact that the

grounding screw was too small for the hole it was supposed to go into.  Not

a big deal, you can either use a larger screw or drill a smaller hole. 

Then again, your car may be different.  In any case, the light works great,

has no moving parts (unless you count sloshing mercury) and didn't take

much to install.



Just a counterpoint.  YMMV.
