All these instructions assume the van's wiring is original. If someone
changed the headlight grounding in anyway all bets are off. It is very
common for the headlights to be re-grounded near the lights which is a great
idea. Reduce the length of the wire run and the resulting voltage drop.

The basic problem on the headlight install is step one of the instructions.
" unplug the double ground wire from ground star and cut them into 2 singles
wires. Check to make sure you have the correct ground connection by noticing
with the ground wire unplugged that the existing Headlights go out" sounds
good- I disconnected all the ground wire one at a time from both stars and
the headlights don't go out. I will try again this afternoon.
