    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    How come? Lumens wise they seem about in line at 1095 lumens for 9006s. Not HR2s granted. So both main 9011s in tonight. Getting about 450 metres bouncing light back of the warning signs at the end of my road and its not particularly dark so better I think. Definitely more punch to the beam I...

    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    Yes Virgil treated the plastic with the product you recommended. The covers are not like new but are much better. I still have Philips White Vision in the low beams and I quite like them but will probably try the HIR's in low beam also.

    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    So according to google: Osram 9005 NB unlimited 1860 lumens Philips 9011 C1 2350 lumens That's about a 21% increase in output so if 4X the light results in a perception of doubling of the light then I probably cannot perceive 21% more light.

    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    So I purchased Philips 9011 C1 to replace the osram 9005 nightbreaker 120+ and made the base mod. To be honest there seems to be no visible difference. I only changed on side because I have an intake in the way which will have to wait for the weekend to remove so I can swap out the bulb but...

    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    Thanks V. Will do all that and hopefully should end up with better lights than when the Z was built.

    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    So I understand standard 9011 9012 combo will do a better job than night breaker unlimited +120% 9005 9006 combo?

    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    OK thanks that's good advice on the HIR bulb retrofit. I will give that a go. The vehicle itself has done just 35k miles and is in pretty good condition. This stupid plastic lens covers that BMW put over the lights have some pitting and are no longer as clear as they should be so that is...

    Jeep Wrangler JK headlight upgrade

    Cannot comment on what rdonber actually purchased and the link he included does not work. Only thing I could find was this http://www.аutоаnythіng.com/lіghtѕ/роіѕоn-ѕрydеr-lеd-hеаdlіght And to me from the picture those look like truck lites with a big mark up on the price if the price is per...

    BMW 1998 Z3 most effective upgrade

    Any thoughts on this anyone. It has 9006 and 9005 bulbs in it. Currently Philips white vision on low and osram night breaker unlimited on high. My other vehicles are hid or led lit and the Z is just plain dull after them. There are aftermarket replacement lights available but would rather use...

    Jeep Wrangler JK headlight upgrade

    Poison Spyder are a well known high quality jeep outfitter. I see these lights advertised on thecweb using their logo but I only see truck lites on the actual poison spyder website so not sure what is going on here. Perhaps someone has hijacked their brand and is selling truck lite knock offs...

    Done to death but...

    Perhaps. No facts or quantum of "more and wider" and an opinion that includes the words "I like". Just because someone likes something this does not mean it performs better. Or worse. How much is more? 1% or 100%? Ditto wider. But perhaps as I said this information is not available to mere...

    "While the advice given here is often not what people want to hear, it is worth listening to. Unfortunately many people who visit to ask questions about vehicle lighting are teenage tuner boys tricking out their civic with all manner of illegal mods and off road junkies trying to use offroad...

    Thanks for the links to what I hope is factual information. When I have some time when I am not doing this: "Or does it involve running prescribed tests that load the computer in various ways and generate objective, numerical test results that are then compared to specifications and benchmarks...

    Can you offer any proof that any of these statements are more than just your opinion? And tell an air traffic controller or a fighter pilot that computer performance is not a life treating issue. It is. Next time you are in the air think about what would happen if avionics or ATC systems are...

    I was warned you guys are harsh... Product https://www.quadratec.com/products/97022_041X_PG.htm No my test was not conducted using scientific instruments and no I don't understand much about lighting. What I do understand is logic, repeatability, edge testing, regression testing and the...
