Changing out head light bulbs in MSP

[1FastTitan]

Hey has anyone had goofy probs w/ there MSP when they have put on AFTERMARKET headlight bulbs? My friend's MSP acted weird, after he put it on he put on the turn signal to left and both signals flashed... like when u have the hazards on. Any suggestions?

Could it be his alarm??

I put in a set of Osram Cool Blue bulbs awhile ago and they've worked perfectly since.

No problems, but I'd be careful putting in a higher wattage bulb without putting relays in to handle the wattage. With the h/l's wired into the alarm and such the additional amperage may be enough to blow fuses... or worse. Always use relays when upgrading wattage.

That said, I put Osram's in (stock wattage, they claimed 20% more light, there's a little more and it's a bit whiter, $18 the pair at WalMart) and had no problems. The MSP lights, BTW, aren't that bad stock.

this is kind of a lame @ss question - but how did you guys aim the fogs? I replaced the fogs and the headlights with osrams a while back, and I just noticed the other day that my fogs are WAY off, but with the straight post-nut mounting I couldn't figure out how to adjust the stupid bastards.
