So in order to fix this, you must, like you said add an extra ground and diode wire.... such a little mod for a bit result! As for the relay, the relay supplies more power, solving the problem much more simply haha...

I understand the basics, but im still pretty unconfident on the whole thing.. it might be better when i open it all up and see the actual components for myself........ But i don't want to do something that I cant reverse!!

hmmmmm what to do, what to do....
Huh? I'm 99% sure LEDs use less power which is why they're such an attractive option for many applications.
