anybody have any clue whether they are still in business or not? Cannot purchase anything off of website and phone is never answered.

Did alot of work for me, hope everything is ok?? not sure. 1 st class work.

They are slow to respond. What do you need? Most of the items on there you can get from an electrical supply place.

I have most of the docs/manuals too.

headlight
 

am having headlight issues...so dim can't see at all. I see they have a kit specific for a fix. Paperwork-manuals would be nice.

Do this.

Measure voltage at headlight using a local ground.
Then do the same thing with the ground lead on the ground terminal on the battery.

I suspect you have a faulty ground.

What ponjohn said is most likely your situation/cause/fix. Should check that first. Also check your core support to frame grounds.

Most of the docs and stuff are on the tech link on the web site:

'Brighter Headlights' is the one you are talking about, right?

Bypassing the headlight switch for power and using relays is a great upgrade, and strongly recommend it. I do it now to all my cars when I get them.

I also recommend upgrading to at least H4 type lamps, which is fairly inexpensive. On the clone, I used 4 hi/lo units, and wired the hi/lo to be on when on high beam together.

If you want a step by step, take a look at my clone build thread (post #71):

I talked with Mark a few weeks ago. It took several attempts. Once I got him on the phone, he talked to me for over an hour!

BTW, it took about 2 weeks for me to get what I ordered.

This was my experience as well. Very nice guy.

X2 on faulty body ground. You can use some known good jumper cables for a quick check. Battery ground post to core support or booster/master. And see if there is a change.
Or it,s just low voltage from battery/alternator.
