    Compliant 4" pod reverse light? other reverse options.

    Hi, First post time in a while. I have got a 2018 Nissan NP300, what some would probably know as a 2020 frontier. I have added rear foglights to it by replacing the taillights, removing the factory reverse lights. This has left me with only two 4" surface mount pod lights for reverse, but...

    On Road Spotlights / Lightbars

    I currently drive about 9 hours twice a month to work along mostly deserted 2 lane roads at speeds between 80 to 110 km/h at night and wish to upgrade or supplement my current forward lighting. Currently I have 2 H4 bulbs on each headlight with no gimmicky tinting and 2 Hella rally 4000 HID...

    Best arrangement for multiple LED tail lights

    It's an oldish utility vehicle so it uses the amber turn signals as reverse lights and it has a switched flodlamp at the rear. It wouldn't be too hard to rearrange the lights from the current configuration and the one that you mentioned although with the way the car is set up it does...

    Best arrangement for multiple LED tail lights

    I'm replacing the sand filled taill light brackets on the back of my car and the new brackets have positions for 5 hella ADR approved strip lamps on each side stacked one on top of the other. Currently I have the strips arranged from top to bottom as, tail/brake light, Amber turn, brake...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/wa/consol_reg/rtr2014295/s291.html this is about as close as I have found to an actual aiming spec so far, but the NT has this http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nt/consol_reg/images/1202424.jpg as well as ACT and SA. If I look in the same place in WA regs I...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    About these percentages, all headlights have the percent molded into the unit itself (1.3% in my case) now because the ADR's don't mandate headlight leveling systems, my car ships with no auto leveling or manual control. The patrols in the UK or Europe get a manual headlight knob for when they...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    Nissan patrols do it if you have the front and rear foglights on the stalk, versions with the fog switches on the dash don't do that, not sure why but 1980 ADR's had no fogs and low beams lockout in their regulations before they updated them. Probably due to the fact that our indicator stalk is...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    ADR's use the ECE Foglight regulations, I believe it's for forward lighting for the driver in dust storms, but on dirt roads where the dust is behind you I use the highbeams as the fog switch does not disable them allowing simultaneous operation of front & rear fogs and highbeams. Edit: If I...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    Im not quite sure, they are still referred to as fog lights in all documentation but I was told that if the dust is thick enough to force the streetlights on then you should use the foglamps, front and rear. Here is a short vid that I took a few months ago https://youtu.be/ltmM3_EFyBg Well...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    The main use for fog lights where I am is dust storms and driving on dirt roads, in fact my driving instructor referred to them as front and rear dust lights; to be operated when there's a Sandstorm or if you're driving along a dirt road with a cloud of dust behind you. Thinking about it I...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    My local Autoparts store is the largest seller of lights outside of the capital and they actually are selling "New" old stock Hella fog and low beams with cadmium-crystal glass inner lenses that can be removed they are E1 coded as well. The main reason I am asking is because according to...

    Using yellow low beams as a replacement for fog lights?

    My state has a law that says that fog lights and low beams must not be on at the same time https://www.rsc.wa.gov.au/Road-Rules/Browse/Lights-Fog-Lights Now I've seen that graph that shows that fog lights, even the ones to the new regulations aren't very good anyway. So would it be more...

    Non DRL-1 module DRLs

    I have priced the hella safety lamps and they are $260 each. I don't know about you but over $1000 for drls is a bit much. Edit: i have found a solution...

    Non DRL-1 module DRLs

    Well I have done the maths and about 10mm of the top and bottom of the lamps will be cut off. If you think that's to much I could try to find rectangular shaped lamps, smaller round lamps or modify the existing square holes, the hight of the holes is 57mm so if I could find a 50-55mm drl lamp...

    Non DRL-1 module DRLs

    The round hella safety lamps look like my best bet bet at the moment, I will have to measure the slots in the bar but I suspect that the opening will be to narrow and cut the top and bottom off slightly. To get around this 'am thinking of placing 2 in each slot makeup for the blocked...
