    Best headlights upgrade options for a 2013 F-350 Lariat diesel

    I agree with you regarding those old Hyundai's. Sorta the anti Honda of the time that didn't do anything well, was slow and got horrible mileage. An old gf had one and drove it more miles than I care to remember, but it also took a couple of decades and a 100,000 mile warranty for Hyundai to...

    Best headlights upgrade options for a 2013 F-350 Lariat diesel

    Okay. Good answer. What is it about these particular products that changed your mind, giving that in the past, in your railing, you've chastised them for having no real optical engineers on staff. Has that changed. Have you had any contact with them that that might have nudged them in the right...

    Best headlights upgrade options for a 2013 F-350 Lariat diesel

    Are you actually recommending Morimoto in your link? You've railed against them for so long this comes as a real surprise. Is there something different about these assemblies that has changed your mind?

    LED low beams? Recommendations?

    Well, it's a thought and it might be a possibility. Maybe a visit to a Subaru forum would find someone who had tried it or done it. With my 2018 Tacoma, I bought the 2020 LED units from my local dealer ($1400) and found a guy on the Tacoma World forum who sold a plug and play wiring harness for...

    LED low beams? Recommendations?

    Will the 2020 Forester assembly fit? I bought that for my gf a year ago, and it was the headlight performance that swayed us. Among the best lights I've ever used, but I don't know if the new assemblies are compatible. It's almost worth getting a new Forester just for those lights.

    Auxiliary Lights Behind Grille?

    What you do to make that work is take the appropriate sized hole saw and cut holes in that plastic grill exactly where your lights are going to me mounted. It'll both look great and be fully functional, plus there's a boatload of room right behind the grill - at least a foot on mine. You will...

    7x6 H6054 Conversion Housings

    I bought a pair of those from Stern a few years ago but when his took SO long to show up I also found a pair of NOS from Germany on eBay. And before those I had both flavors of the Hella units, neither of which were in the same league as the Cibié's. They went with the truck when I basically...

    Toyota Projector H11 - H9

    In my '18 Tacoma, which are likely the exact same lights, clear H9's, two different high performance GE H11's and the Phillips Xtreme all measured within 2/10ths of a stop difference using a Minolta Flashmeter VI - basically no real world difference at all between any of those alternatives. The...

    Air-Cooled Porsche lighting upgrades

    Ok Virgil, this is good information and very useful. The foreground flooding is a particular problem on a lowered 911 with the headlights lower to the ground than a standard sedan or truck. That helps to guide a decision. I mean, hell, I've been okay with the H4's so the v2 LED Hellas are going...

    Air-Cooled Porsche lighting upgrades

    "Sorry, what's good to know about which particular Koito units?" Your comments were good to know. In regard to the Hellas, do you have any first hand experience with both LED versions? What is the practical, real world difference between between the first and second version of the LED units...

    Air-Cooled Porsche lighting upgrades

    That's good to know about those particular Koito units. So it's back to the Hella units. There seem to be three different projector models worth considering - a Bi-Xenon HID unit, a Bi-LED v1, and a shorter, smaller, lower wattage Bi-LED v2. A few years ago, the consensus seemed to be that the...

    Air-Cooled Porsche lighting upgrades

    Does anyone have an opinion regarding these: https://www.lіghtwеrkz.net/іndеx.php/соmpоnеntѕ/hіd-prоjесtоrѕ/bі-xеnоn-lеxuѕ-rx350-ѕtі-r-prоjесtоrѕ.html They are quite a bit shorter than the Hella units and would probably be much easier to squeeze into the 911 buckets, especially without cutting...

    H11 to H9 Conversion - 2018 Toyota 4Runner

    Having a 2018 Tacoma that is basically the same light setup, I found a huge improvement going to the Phillips Xtreme H11. I have also tried a standard trimmed H9 and a GE +130 H11. All of those three alternatives to the stock bulb appear to be functionally identical. Measured with a Minolta...

    Air-Cooled Porsche lighting upgrades

    Yes, there were, and there was a Cibié version as well. Those are very rare and I'm sure very expensive to match. There's a guy in Sisters, Oregon who restores them. Here's his link: http://www.audettecollection.com/h1-history/ Looks like he is selling a JW Speaker fully assembled into the Bosch...

    Air-Cooled Porsche lighting upgrades

    Mr Merk. No, I was not at Luft5. Tend to stay away from large gatherings. It's interesting that Daniel doesn't like Singer, even if we could get them, as they are using Hellas, but I don't know if they're the HID or LED. I fully understand wanting to keep a vintage look to our cars and the Bosch...
