    A/C vacuum down still?

    Hello. I'm replacing my a/c compressor, a/c hoses, accumulator and condenser. Is it still necessary to vacuum down before I recharge after these parts are installed. I was thinking that everything that would have moisture is being replaced right? Or no? Thanks for the help guys!

Wa-la…that fixed the grounding issue but the Anzo light still won’t function properly…I’m thinking wires in the harness don’t match up and pretty sure if I cut connector and...

    Third brake light wiring question

    Same issue for me, bought a cheap assembly from Amazon, hard wired it and nothing. Bought an Anzo third brake light because the reviews said it was plug-n-play and still not working.
