Installed the HD passing lights all went well and it works. The signal relocate
didn't fair as well. I didn't re-wire them just moved them under the passing lights. I did have to open them to run the passing light wire thru them and I quess those plastic sockets didn't take to kindly to twisting and pulling. The running light portion works but the blinker part is very very weak. If you tap on the bulb or socket the light goes out. The rear signals work fine.
I am hoping I can re-wire in new sockets... what you all think?
The other thing I could do is splice in whole new turn signals and mount them to the engine guard bar?

JaggedEdge,

You might have loose ground, or wire not getting good contact!!

If you need new turn-signals let me know, I have a set of Dual filiments on eBay now..:D

Sounds like the connection isn't very good. Have you checked it with a meter?

I was thinking bad ground too, but the marker light portion of the lights
shine bright.
