| and I might install them before I leave work. These are the Aevorox caps with the 2 blue wires coming out. I have electrical cords going to the lights so I just connect one blue wire to the black wire and the other blue to white right?

| I have read where guys do it that way but I would check the amp draw and see if it does any good. The diagram shows it before the transformer and ignitor, so I would check it to see. I have finished my box except for the caps and this is what it looks like: 
I have installed twist lock receptacles on each end to plug my lights into (in case I need to take my lights off for some reason I won't have to un-wire). I hope my caps get here soon. I am working on putting my lights on the brackets now. I used 3/16" aluminum 1 1/2 inches wide with spacers so I can adjust the lights. I will post a picture of them later.

| Thats how mine would work. Power going through the capacitor first, then the transformer and ignitor then on to the light.

You are correct! I had a brain fart thinking that you had taken the transformer and ignitors out of the lights I am going tonight with the metal halides and hope for the best.....

Yes that is correct. That puts the Cap in parallel with the circuit.
What does that box measure BBB?

| One of the pictures from previous post showed the capacitors and transformers in a plastic tool box mounted on a yellow board. Will the caps and transformers generate to much heat to possibly cause a problem in the plastic tool box?

Triple Threat (7/26/2008)
One of the pictures from previous post showed the capacitors and transformers in a plastic tool box mounted on a yellow board. Will the caps and transformers generate to much heat to possibly cause a problem in the plastic tool box? The guy said after a whole night of bowfishing the heat inside the box was minimal. Here is how I have my capacitors mounted for the time being. After I mounted them and hooked them up, I turned on all 5 lights and the Honda 2000 had no problems running them. I'll go ahead and add my 6th light this weekend. Also I gained a little over an extra hour of run time on a tank of gas by going to these lights with capacitors. 
A couple of pics from last night.

Question about taking the pix's?
Did you cover the flash from the camera?
