Recently installed a DDM Tuning HID kit into my new to me '03 Cobra. The stock bulb sockets had broken clips on them so my lights would flicker because they weren't connected tightly like they should be. You can do this the cheap and easy way with zip ties or you can do it the right way by replacing the socket. I'm a novice when it comes to soldering, did the best I could with what I had. Just to be safe after wiring them up and testing them I disconnected the battery before soldering.
