This Weekend Work - Well less work more tinkering ....

Post by ttr » Mon Feb 19, 2018 7:45 am

Well it’s less work and more tinkering…….

Managed to get 30 minutes to swop out the fog light bulbs and go “old School” with the yellow.

I’m not convinced yet, although I have to say the night vision is actually pretty good, I would even say better compared to the normal OEM white lights even though the wattage and output are the same. Or maybe its just psychological on my part, reliving my youth in my Phase 1 Renault 5GT Turbo.

Cannot really photo the night effect but you can see a daylight shot.

Will stick with it for a while to see if it grows on me, function wise its good just not sure aesthetically now they are in.

Next job the tints now the weather is getting better

It’s because light towards the ‘redder’ (which yellow is) end of the spectrum cuts through fog better and gives less back glare.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Cheers for the explanation- every days a school day.

It’s still growing on me ......
