Someone has to keep you busy.....

 

I am looking at hr hella H4 conversion. The price on the LEDs is still tooooo high for me.

 

Been thinking about these:


Truck-Lite 27450C One Rectangular LED 5" X 7" Ford GM Van Jeep XJ YJ Headlight - Drivetrain America

 

They seem like a good idea. That isn't a bad price either.
My priority is my front axle right now so maybe later.

 

My priority right now is to pay my mortgage, and scrape enough $$ together to put food on the table, so I completely understand....



BTW,

I hope your wife is feeling better.

 

not sure they would fly with you living in the auto-**** state of CA, but i run the hella e-code housings with silverstar H4 bulbs and i honestly wouldn't recommend anything else. the light pattern is great and they're really bright. especially with the high/low beam diode.

 

PREACH!

 

I meant on the truckthe rest is old hat.

Wife is better today than yesterday, She is sleeping quite a bit but that is good.

 

I would have to check the wattage. I am pretty sure that is what they go by. They used to have a pretty low requirement for low beam on motorcycles.

 

Oh, don't worry, the Mrs. Is keeping me busy...remember that home operations manual? Just the step by step to change 3 return air filters in the HVAC system took 4 pages! Sometimes, I think there is a behind the scenes "plan"... why else would a wife want a "how to" manual for the house??!! That would eliminate the need of me!!

 

Uhhhhh....

Think "insurance policy"......

 

they're not DOT approved. not even sure they're legal here, luckily they don't give a hoot here in FL

 

Being a commercial truck driver I have spoken to the DOT/CVSE guys a few times, they have noticed the problem with these "over bright" lights. They have been starting to crack down on these "aftermarket" lights, housings and lenses.

I have extremely good night vision...so I will stick with my old sealed beams.....

 

I know the E codes from Hella, Bosch and Cibie with 55/60 watt bulbs are street legal all over Canada and some US states. The Trucklites are DOT/SAE certified so no worries there.

 

whats unfortunate is that the E-codes are not DOT approved. they have a far better light pattern than the dot/sae housings. the cut off is really nice and not blinding what so ever. i set them up by having someone in a passenger car drive towards me to ensure that the cut-off was below "oh my god!" level, lol.


what needs to be banished is the cheap "HID" housings that just throw light all over the place and blind you from a mile away. even most of those are dot approved. junk.
