From Wiki:

High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) are a type of electrical gas-discharge lamp which produces light by means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina arc tube. This tube is filled with both gas and metal salts. The gas facilitates the arc's initial strike. Once the arc is started, it heats and evaporates the metal salts forming a plasma, which greatly increases the intensity of light produced by the arc and reduces its power consumption. High-intensity discharge lamps are a type of arc lamp.
High-intensity discharge lamps make more visible light per unit of electric power consumed than fluorescent and incandescent lamps since a greater proportion of their radiation is visible light in contrast to heat.

 

Antenna X I got from Seth.

Somebody needs a nice power washing.. Nice truck, looks sweet.

Thanks,
Brett

 

Thanks! Adds character to the truck haha it'll get cleaned one day!

 

at least its not a Mall Crawler lol. I always pitty those guys that dump thousands of dollars into their truck and it is in prestine condition. I mean come on! Okay maybe a wash now and then!

 

Yup, it's a truck and I've always treated it as such. I like it to be clean and all but I'm not worried when it's not. My last Tacoma, granted I bought it used went directly from the dealer to a trail after a small stop back at my place to grab stuff. This truck went mudding as soon as the break in period was over.

 

Ya down for a camp trip on thr 19 thru 21st check out gold lake camp trip

 

Wish I could, gotta work

 

How is that antenna working out (signal wise) compared to the stock one?

 

Subd!

tisk tisk tisk! what a dirty engine bay!!!



oh wait, mine looks the same! hah

 

I haven't noticed a difference. Only thing that bugs me is the fact that the antenna bends when I'm going fast. Other than that I am happy with it.

If it ain't dirty you ain't using your truck lol.

 

If you dont break it, you aint riding it hard enough


oh wait.......

 

Haha! In other crappy news...



Shroud came off the projector

 

Oh damn! Did you jb weld it to the projector or just use the ring?

 

Gotcha. Still haven't decided if I want to replace my stock antenna as I kinda use it for a early warning when in a parking garage. When I hear the antenna hit I know I am close to my roof racks clipping.

 

Just the ring...guess you live and learn.

Haha, nice! I was tired of hitting my antenna on stuff.

 

Don't take it so bad I've totally jacked up the main reflector bowl trying to paint/black out the headlights I think your fix will be easier than mine hehe.

 

Well it's a matter of having the tools. I can't work on my truck at the apartment cause ill get in trouble. So I have to see if Brian or Seth can help me out again.
