Re: How to install DRL/High Beam LED Conversion Kit

But is the throw that much different, or is it the brightness of the HID low beams? For example, I don't think my halogen high beams "out throw" the HID low beams any more, they are just there to provide light above the sharp projector cutoff. In any case, I don't think I could "outru...

Re: How to install DRL/High Beam LED Conversion Kit

The capacitors work. How do I know? Because the LEDs are now on full power high beam mode in DRL. Doh! :? Well, that confirms that our DRL work by PWM at full voltage, not constant reduced voltage. Not sure I'm getting why you want your high beams to be more focused ... Their whole point is flood l...

Re: Let's Figure Out the Headlight Bulb Issue

No surprise there - it's known that the arc strike takes a fair amount of power, but for a very brief period. This is the main purpose of the ballast.

Re: Let's Figure Out the Headlight Bulb Issue

So, you've got a battery that sits at 12.6V max, and you apply a large load to it.

How exactly do you get a voltage spike in that scenario?

Re: Let's Figure Out the Headlight Bulb Issue

IMHO, too LOW a voltage at the headlight is much more likely the problem based on the itty bitty wiring inside the headlight. So what do you think the root cause of this could be besides a weak battery? Voltage regulator in the alternator? Usually, it is the wiring. Just too much voltage drop. Back...
