    Need recommendations for Kia Soul EV lighting enhancements

    The "have to prove it" part regarding the MM act is interesting and a commonly coined fallacy. If you think about it, who would they have to prove anything to? Certainly not the vehicle owner standing at the service counter yelling "prove it". It would have to be proven in court, at the...

    Toshiba 9011

    XeRay, I've never flow a Glasair but they look like fun. I'm not allowed fun flying in the 747-8F (other than the enjoyment of flying itself) but it certainly is a heavy.

    Toshiba 9011

    Looks like I can get Toshiba 9011 from Stern. How much better, if at all, (and in what ways) is this than the Philips 9011? In other words, are these worth ordering from Stern?

    Longevity of unused halogen bulbs

    So I have some H9 bulbs that I purchased approximately a decade ago but I have never used them. Assuming they still work, can I expect a shorter life from them than I would expect from equivalent brand new H9 bulbs?

    Headlights for my 2018 Elantra Value Edition

    How do the H7 Vosla +120 as sold by candlepowerinc compare to your suggestions of H7 bulbs?

    JW Speaker 7" round SmartHeat headlights

    Is the deicing always on or is it like on airplanes where we can selectively turn deicing on/off.

    Best 9012/9011 bulbs and where to buy them

    Actually candlepower inc seems to carry the Vosla 9012 +30 now. Assuming these are legit I will order from there (they do ship to Canada). $20 a piece if 2 are purchased. Plus shipping of course

    Added relays

    Not sure it matters anymore in modern cars but in day gone by you really wanted relays with back-EMF suppression like a built in resister or capacitor. When the relay coil is de-energized there can be a lot a voltage fed back into the electrical system when using relays without this suppression.

    Best 9012/9011 bulbs and where to buy them

    So I just replaced the headlight units in my 2008 Accord sedan with OEM units and I'm looking for the best (and non-counterfeit) 9012 and 9011 bulbs for installing in the new headlamp assemblies. What are the best available these days? Are the bulbs on the Candlepower website any good? Please...

    Can you identify this LED?

    [flame/bait/troll in first post of brand-new poster on this board deleted by moderator] Oh look. A hidplanet member jumping in to stand up for another who has broken the rules and who doesn't like CPF. Color me shocked.

    HIDs burning out?

    I have never come across an aftermarket ballast priced higher than an OEM ballast.

    I design LED bulbs! Hello!

    I believe Philips has, or will shortly have, an LED replacement that does work in place of a filament bulb. I believe Scheinwerfermann has mentioned these in the past. They are being tested on a car-by-car basis and have found to work safely and effectively and compliantly on the 2008 Honda...

    I design LED bulbs! Hello!

    Of course they're dangerous. The HID arc can never safely be substituted for a halogen filament and 99.99999% of the LED replacement bulbs (all but those from one manufacturer, Philips IIRC) simply do not put the requisite light at the focal point of a reflector designed AROUND an incandescent...

    HIDs burning out?

    Why would an OEM manufacturer make an aftermarket part that exceeds the quality of its own OEM product?
