Am I In Trouble Then?

Personally I wouldn't know.

What gives.. mentioning a Disco 1 in a RR forum !!!

Sheesh. you just can't get the staff these days.

Ha Ha Ha I will slap the back of my head

Ok maybe give them another try
Is there a relay in the P38 that isn't in the Disco 1?

Other way around, I think. Headlights in P38 are driven straight out the BECM.

Crikey I don't fancy burning that out

New LED bulb kit just arrived. Be fitting it later when I feel more up to it....bit meh today

Anyway, the box is small, but really quite heavy! Nice quality feel to the bulbs and the driver pack so lets hope they do well.

Soon as they are done & set up I'll take some pictures for yaw'l

Off for 40 winks

I note that good advice fell on stony ground.

Not entirely, I'd already bought the LED's, but may get night breakers for the "extra" high beam.

I rather think the whole lot needs re aimed because although the high beams are superbly bright, they are a very narrow beam and biased to the left.

I would like to set them to a slightly wider pattern so I light up both sides of the road (easier to spot deer).

Still feel a tad yuck today It feels as if I have been in a boxing ring and had every part of my body beaten. Muscles are in agony

Chaps

LED car headlights, are they just a bigger beefier version of the kind of LED you get in a torch or are they different somehow? I don't get how they work

They seem to be made really very well in this case, all brushed aluminium and heavy little heat sinks. The "bulbs" themselves are made up of 4 tiny LED's in a row on each side for the dip and again for the high beams. There is a little box on the end of a wire for each one, presumably containing components to ramp up the voltage and ampage.

There are other ones available with tiny fans in the end to cool the components, but I didn't fancy them as I thought the fans could burn out...

We are watching your progress with interest. Your insurance does cover fire?!

And why would they burn pray tell?

*looks out fire extinguisher, fits to car...*

It'll be fine

Well chaps, fitted the LED's and it was SUCH a simple operation, I didn't need to video it to show you how!

Old bulbs out, LED's in, connected, working.

WHAT a difference

Brighter, cleaner, more focused light with hardy any "spill" and no dazzle.

I took a picture with a standard bulb and the LED.

WOW! Night and day, literally!

Well, I WAS planning to upload a picture of the difference, but photobucket has other idea's... It asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in, then it asked me to log in, so I logged in,



Did I take that too far?

SO DID PHOTOBUCKET

Doo. I sometimes have fun with photobucket.. did you try logging in ?

Should be able to just attach to the board here? No warnings from the dash?

Y'know, I can't recall, but I don't think so! I'll check later and report back...

I had a 42 inch one on my Sprinter roof. MAN was it bright!

No one ever flashed me back if I flashed them to dip

Was thinking on a 20 inch one for George, but perhaps I wont need one....
