All I know is that the lights are Cree so I'm guessing that's the manufacturer and the connectors are bjb but I havn't got the light kit in yet so I don't have paperwork
 
1st picture Is blue only
2nd picture is with the whites also, it looks blue in the picture
3rd picture, not sure what these are for lol

Rapid led sent me a free battery tester to test each LED before I put it all together and I received it 3 days after I purchased it

Only thing I'm not happy with is that I bought 2 pentiometers not knowing I needed a power source that doesn't come with it

He's right. You stick those to a surface and then feed a zip tie through the hole on it and then tie it around the wires and they stay in place
 
Here is the blues(when they were working last night) I'm having a little setback but I think it's because of my power source to the pentiometers

Yea, this sucks, my lights are just really dull now, last night they worked good for about 20 minutes, maybe I have a bad connection somewhere

What ever you do. Don't wiggle wires or mess with connections while they are plugged in. You don't want to blow anything
 
Do you have a circuit diagram of the setup? If I see one I can help you trouble shoot.
