LED Lighting Conversion

C'mon, you know this bunch, we wouldn't talk secretly, we'd do it right in front of you

 

Yea, I need to scope out my comparison location. I want to make sure it's nice and dark. Then I'll go Friday night and shoot all the before footage. Then on Saturday I'll do the install of the new fogs and low beam bulbs, sorry no high beam review yet. Then Saturday night shoot the after footage. Definitely going to be video too. Gonna lock the ISO down so there's no question both before and after were shot identically. Might even dust off my DSLR. Possibly use my dash cam rigged to a tripod at eye level, center, in the cab. I have a gopro knockoff too. I'm really stoked.

You were the biggest influence though. Your enthusiasm alone was enough for me. Your commitment to providing the best possible reviews are what great forums are made of. Thanks.

 

Just messin...some things just can’t downloaded...if you’re lazy like me. I’ve had the same 5 CDs in my infiniti G35 for the past 10 years...too lazy to rip them because they’re dj house music mixes from friends that can’t be found else where..I know what you mean brotha! Just messin with ya!

 

Awesome Rob! I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Its always exciting getting new truck stuff haha

I really appreciate the kind words and I’m glad my posts and reviews were liked so much. All you guys on here are a good bunch. It’s like a whole new group of buddies hahaha

 

Got my xspeed amber front signal bulbs in today. Nice. Bright. Can't wait until dark. Great improvement for under $20.

 

No worries. All is well.

 

Hmmm, according to Amazon, my package was delivered to the Swedboro facility in NJ at 9:30 am today but the status has not changed since yesterday.




So I am not sure what is going on.

 

USPS decided to test the cutoff on thier mini jeeps and will post results later. If it’s not good they will return it to the seller for you, don’t worry.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA not funny!

Well, and I signed up for notifications with the tracking number and that is even less than favorable data.



Definitely not what I am used to from Amazon. I hope I ordered those bulbs from the right merchant on there. Didn't think to look for another, just put them in my cart a long time ago and went back and hit the "now bitches" button.

 

Ok, whew, just checked. There is only one listing for the new bulbs and Hikari is the merchant. Nice

 

This is the scariest part of all. I received an email for my order from Hikari. Today. This is the body of the message.



WTF IS UP WITH THE DAMN HALLOWEEN SHIT!!!!!!!!! crazy ass Chingrish email support I guess.

 

I got the same one twice. One with each order.

 

Installed the xspeed blinker bulbs. Not an exact match to the fogs but everything up front is now 100% LED and bright as eff. No headlights are on in the 2nd picture.

 

LOL, wow. Maybe it's Halloween in Japan or wherever these come from??

 

Lmfao dude mine had the same thing and I though wtf a little late or a bit earlier

 

No matter what the email looks like I have had great correspondence with them. They were quick to answer emails. I did tell them the rotation was a non-issue after drilling new collar holes so we are all good now.

 

Ditto to that! Always great customer service

 

That's definitely good to hear. Customer support is something I usually take into consideration when trying to figure out which product to go with. Obvisouly, the more expensive it is, the more important CS is to me. Although, if something has solid quality and reliability, then theoretically, CS is not as important...

Now lets just hope they are compentent customer support techs who know when Halloween really is.

 

Do you have Amazon Prime? 2-days means 2-days. No if and or but to the point that I don't care about tracking. I expect it the day it said I'll get it when I bought it, and it's always there waiting for me. None of this guessing when ground will get to me crap due to bad weather (keep in mind east coast is undergoing some serious snow storms currently). Find a friend or family member with the Prime. They will climb and decend over Mt. Everest to get it to you when promised.

 

Seriously...did everyone who ordered the Hikari's get that Happy Halloween crap too? I did it on my brothers account and he asked me why the hell the order is just getting sent now when the confirmation went to his phone last week...I had no idea what he was talking about until he sent me a screen shot...then I blamed it on the Chinese or Japanese (maybe both since one owns it, and the other manufactures it)..."market-once-and-forget-forever-approach". Needless to say,his reply was "enough said".

@ToyoDrew do you plan on drilling and adjusting the angle too? I can take a picture to show you guys how off it is if you want, but since it's dark here in CA, it won't be till tomorrow, however, I'm sure that won't stop you from getting your elbows greased if you're getting them tomorrow...might help others understand what @mrproduxn was referring to, and for people to understand his fix. Until I get around to it, they're in there for now because I never use my HB's and even with them off that much of an angle, they still light up the dark roads (not planning on using it against oncoming traffic even with the AUTO HB thingy magiggy). Maybe to only get people to move, which my AUXBEAM F16's can do just as well sadly with how bright they are! On the bright side, if my headlights burn out, I will still be able to use my Fogs lol.
