Tried to mount a switch for the extra headlights on the dashboard. But it got complicated, the cables were to short and there were no space to wriggle the cables from the engine space.... and I had a terrible hangover ;-)
Id just bundled the switch and cables together somewhere beside the...
Changed to summer tires, bought a new set of Hankook Ventus ST RH06275/55 20" 117V XL. They wil hopefully provide a smooth ride on the road.
And some oil/filter change.
Ready to go!!
Nope, its a cheap no-name light set that performed very good in a big round up test in Sweden (My wife accepted them due the chrome finish, but she's really suspicious when I buy cheap stuff :-)). Big reflector with both broad and fairly long beam. I will replace the 55 w bulb with a quality...
I had to mount the bull bar and lights this evening... in the rain :-)
The temperature is gonna drop tomorrow... from +7 to -15 ºC.
But now I'm ready for the darkness :party36:
Well, i drove out last night to my wife's relatives in the dark dark country side and got the chance to see what the Philips 9008/H13 X-treme Vision bulbs could do...
I could notice the improvement on the completely dark roads (wet and no snow), but the light pattern is still rather horrible...
I dont now, could check but it would probably be very expensive!
I have ordered the Philips 9008/H13 X-treme Vision bulbs, maybe some small improvement for the standard lights, in addition to the extra halogen lights on the bull bar. I will hopefully have this mounted in a week or two.
Envy you guys!
Extremely depressing, its gonna be a green and dark christmas without snow in my area in Sweden. This is very rare, normally 1-2 feet snow and 7-10 celsius degrees below zero.
The latitude is maybe 200 miles below Anchorage, and Alskanexpy knows how short the daylight hours is...
After some conversation with Mr Sterling, I have decided to order a bull bar and ad two big hibeam lamps. I quote:
"Compared to the European-specification headlamps you're accustomed to, the US-spec lamps are poorly focused and create a lot of upward stray light that causes back-glare in bad...
Good reading! Im aware of the need of relays and good cable area/connections when you mount extra high beam lights. But are you suggestion that i should rewire the standard headlight circuit?
Its strange to look in to this BIG headlamp with its impressive reflectors, and know that it prouces...
