    seeking amber taillights for 2023 ridgeline

    I meant in addition to, mounted elsewhere, not just to attempt to replace the bulb in the housing. Edit- something akin to this. https://www.opt-7.com/products/redline-triple-row-led-tailgate-light-bar-with-reverse-light-brake-light-sequential-turn-signals They're ubiquitous enough that you...

    seeking amber taillights for 2023 ridgeline

    Perhaps consider adding an amber turn signal of your own?

    2017 Rav4 questions

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-sae-j581-aux-high-beam-thread.696597/ Give this thread a look through. Can't go wrong with any if the diode dynamics SS3 pods with the driving light beam pattern, imo.

    Self leveling headlight for a motorcycle?

    Hefty unit right there. Adding a lamp to a (relatively) fixed position is likely the most practical answer to this situation. A high output fog may be sufficient for low speed situations, as described. But perhaps a small "90mm " retrofit lamp would be a better choice. Would give you greater...

    Self leveling headlight for a motorcycle?

    States may have some differences, but I'd say that's a no-no, federally. Even if it's a legal gray, and even if you wired the helmet lamp to trigger on/off with the bikes highbeam, it takes one trooper having a bad day to ruin it. I am not aware of any self leveling lamps on bikes. Perhaps an...

    2017 Rav4 questions

    I couldn't resist the setup for the joke. Looks like there's some ditch light brackets available. https://lpaventure.com/products/lp-aventure-hood-light-brackets-pair-2013-2018-toyota-rav4 legal issues will arise with using any mounting point above the factory headlamps, however, as with many...

    Whoa whoa whoa my guy, I don't see the reason we gotta get lawyers involved here!

    2017 Rav4 questions

    "Bull bars" typically do act as damage multipliers in small impacts, as they're typically providing a lot of leverage on their mounting points, and built too flimsily to not flex into the grille/radiator. Perhaps a workaround is mounting driving lamps using a "ditch light" bracket mounted to...

    2017 Rav4 questions

    Looks like "northwoods performance" sells a "bull/lightbar for the rav4 that bolts to the factory tow/recovery points across the front bumper. Perhaps you could make a simple tube/angle iron cross bar with two "feet," and the appropriate bolts. Better and likely easier that trying to make a...

    There aught to be a law!

    "You're not contributing to the thread topic." So says the guy who says they feel fine driving at night on urban streets with no lights, lmao

    There aught to be a law!

    Interesting level of insight to the virgil/alaric situation.

    I'm half convinced at this point Virgil/Alaric is back, and trolling.

    There aught to be a law!

    >improper aim or inadequate optical design Half of South Carolinas vehicle owners have entered the chat. Overloaded vehicles and those with worn out suspensions will also likely be pointing skyward. Without mandating auto-leveling, glare is going to be a continuous, and unavoidable reality of...

    Need fog lights for 2016 2500HD

    Still not a fog lamp, or one that should be used in poor visibility. OP, budget depending, I would recommend looking at diode dynamics SS3 pods in selective yellow. They offer three levels of output/performance. The sport is the lowest output, and has a very crisp, sharp cutoff. However it...

    2022 Dodge Charger 9005 headlight upgrade?

    Lol-ing at your "appreciate the oems perfection" schtick. No, mowt headlamps are not well designed, they are designed to meet the bare minimum level of legal performance at a specific cost per unit. And anyone who has had a vehicle from the 90s to the early 00's can attest to this. IIHS...

    Need fog lights for 2016 2500HD

    There's some good models available, and I can point you to some tests showing their performance. Is your truck currently equipped with a fog lamp circuit? What is your budget? Are you looking to install them yourself, or have a dealer or local shop do the work? There are several good LED...

    2022 Dodge Charger 9005 headlight upgrade?

    Your username is appropriate, for pontificating from theory while actively ignoring reality. Reality holds that there are several major bulb types that in certain (not all) circumstances are perfectly capable of replacing one another. Your bespoke shoe analogy is off. Most shoes are not made...

    2022 Dodge Charger 9005 headlight upgrade?

    >With that, "maxing out" doesn't really make sense. It makes complete sense in context. You are responding past what I am saying, not responding to it. Exactly as I said, your comment about the innappropriateness of a replacement bulb that is higher intensity resulting in something resulting...

    2022 Dodge Charger 9005 headlight upgrade?

    Your theory is based on the idea that every single headlamp is designed to max out every single legal intensity level. Which is wrong. Most headlamps are junk meant to meet the legal minimums of performamce. A higher flux bulb that is optically compatible will not push these into too-bright...
