Injen CAI help!

Nothing wrong with the CAI actually, but my right lights are all whacked.

The grounding "ring" near the filter, how do you guys get that properly grounded? Mine wiggles loose easily and my right signals would go nuts on me. The way it is now, the rubber cork isn't putting enough pressure on the ring to keep it grounded. When I make a sharp right turn or 1/10 normal signals the ring doesn't ground and the blinker on the gauge goes nuts. Suggestions on how to tighten that sucker, anyone?

Also, my right high beam is now gone, would that be a result of improper grounding or do you think it's a coincidence?

Shesh, use the search button next time - I used a lock washer and it seemed to do the trick.

Yeah, it's [bolt][washer][intake arm][rubber cork][grounding ring], so I'm thinking of just slipping in a washer in between the rubber cork and grounding ring...

I did search on Injen here, most of the posts were how to fit the thing and not how to solve this problem... Well, I'll head for some washers tonight...

if i remember correctly, i messed around with 2 spots. one on the fender and one on the block for my rubber thingy-mabob to goto. I chose the block because i thought it acted along the lines of a motor mount, serving the purpose. where did you mount it? fender or block, pics would help a lot too
