    improves the ground for the car. this will not damage your light bulbs. if anything it will improve the brightness of them.

    i made my own 4 gauge grounding thinger w/ the help of vamp's site. i would say that the lights and my subs hit noticeably much harder. as for the performance claims... idk... its very hard to tell, im guessing that the ecu is getting its share of juice too.

    the performance gains are a nice touch. if it did everything but add performance in hp and tq it would still be worth it.

    personally, i think they are a waste.. headlights are a little brighter, idle is a little better, sub hits a little harder, but other then that no proof on the dyno... Save your money and do something worth the $$

    haha if you want better grounding, just get some 0 guage amp wires, that should do it.

    i've got both the HVS and HGS and TOGETHER they add some but alone they don't do crap. I won't give out any numbers here but it did add some power, but definitely not worth 300 for both unless you're trying to squeeze out every bit of power out of your car and you're out of ideas. haha. i got the HGS for 115, and the HVS for 185 not to mention damn tax
