dielectric grease is not a very good conductor. It is meant to resitst moisture. It shouldnt cause any problems unless its blocking contacts or fuses.

The dialectric grease should be very thin. Wipe any excess off the connectors and fuses.

guess when the instructions say put grease on the base of the bulbs, they don't mean the contacts on the bottom; so, I probably used too much on the fuses......
