Hmm. . . I'd take offense to that, but it's too funny a comment!LaureltheQueen wrote:merely to serve arturo's fancies. :p
I hate how the corner doesnt blink. Makes it look like i'm a bad driver.
When I grew up over the pond, it was common for us brits to drive across the channel - by boat or chunnel - and harass the poor french with our misaligned headlights.How do you plan on modifying them? The optics consist both of a mask and a fluted lens.
Ah, okay... yeah, people did that often in Britain and France. I believe you can accomplish the same thing with a small piece of electrical tape placed over part of the lens (you can tell which part if you look at the flutes).totech wrote:Most automotive parts stores used to sell little covers for the headlights that would cover the offending cutoff and not glare into the oncoming drivers eyes.
So - I plan on fabricating some covers for the headlight that will remove the cutoff and give me an even flat light pattern.
Yes, it will be much better for all involved (you and other drivers) than the DOT pattern, even though you lose some of the distance seeing on the right side.This will be 1000% better than spot here and spot there that the USDM headlights have.
I don't know what kind of lamps Porsche uses, but just having them so high off the ground causes a lot of unnecessary glare.Besides, even in testing last night, I am sure that a porsche cayenne with its fancy headlights create more glare than my little sube.
Yes, they are. It's good knowing that if a headlamp bulb goes out, the headlamp will still continue to provide its other function of indicating your car's location to others.City lights are cool, I really like this part the most.
Well, fog lights are good things to have, but they can't really do anything about the loss of the upward rise on the right. If you think about it, a good fog light beam pattern is a lot like the ECE pattern without the upward rise. Fog lights illuminate the foreground while the upward rise illuminates things far off.My plan is to remove the signal, and replace with fogs - to help with the right side light loss.
Cool. Is there room to fit in the 92-94 light, or are you going to find some aftermarket replacement?Get the 92-94 side marker in the fender for extra blinkie light and safety
That's cool... You might want to consider making the corner lamp exclusively a turn signal with one bright single-filament bulb, though. It would be easier and your turn signal would be even clearer. The sidemarkers (especially with W5W bulbs) should be sufficient for making the car visible from the side.Make the corner light - two bulbs currently wired together, into a separate one signal one park light, and both blink when lights on.
Awesome.And I will be installing the relay setup as well to power the headlights, the poor car has lots of miles on its wiring, and if I can improve the voltage, that is great.
WTF!!
