alot of people have tried those things they said they've helped, try a search on ground wires or just ground and u should get some good answers, u dont need to buy the kit to do it tho, u can just use 8 guage wires etc

But for $18 what the hell? You couldn't build one for that cheap. but shipping is a biatch on those ebay deals? Thing is they don't list guage size.

you sorta feel that acceleration is smoother... but whatever. It was something I like doin (eletrical stuff) and I just did it for the hell of it.

oh yeah, my lights still dim the same way yours does.
