So for some reasons 3 of my bulbs went out at the same time. Driver's side HID headlight, driver's side LED side marker is flickering and passenger side DTRL. Just when I am about ready to schedule the annual vehicle inspection.

I am contemplating on going for the Vleds DTRL Looking at it (VLEDS) I noticed that it has some sort of ballast. For those that did the mod, is this worth the trouble? How involved was the install?

Question 2, what is the best and proven HID bulb on the 5500k - 6000k that is proven to last longer? My morimotos only lasts me 2 years and an Osram a little over a year. Not sure if it was genuine or knock off though. Bought it here: 2 x Genuine Osram D2S Cool Blue Intens XENARC 66240CBI 35W 5500K - 24h DISPATCH

I have the VLED with ballast since 04/2013. If I remembered correctly, one of the bulbs LED burnt out and the lens falls in about 6 months of use. They replaced for free. Haven't have any problem since. I think the most involvement was to find a spot to hide the ballast.

Thanks Andy. I will probably take that route. I am curious as to why a small LED bulb intended for DTRL would require a ballast.

By the way, I did not do the turn signal light swap with DTRL. Is this safe for the DTRL lens? No risk of melting it?

 

[la_fx35]

Ok, you got me. Which one is the factory DTRL? The rectangular one, right? Hahaha

Anyhow, I have VLED V3 Triton LEDs in both the rectangular factory parking light and the outer round turn signal light.
Running VLED V3 Triton amber as the "parking light" in the rectangular factory parking light. VLED V3 Triton Switchback at the factory turn signal (outer round light); white as DTRL & amber as turn signal. No melting of any sort for this long.

Thanks Andy. That's reassuring.

Can our car flip on flat ground from turning too quick?

Pretty sure under the right conditions any car can.

Do any 1st Gen FXers mind checking their transmission dipstick level and taking a pic to post here?

 

[gto]

What exactly are you looking to see?

 

[g0ldm4g3]

The fluid level of others.. it seems as if mine is always low, if I don't count the clear residue

Site won't load a .bmp image.
In Windows10, how do I change to .jpg?
(I have standard basic Windows image programs.)

 

[StuLax18]

Can you do a "save as" in whatever that win10 photos app is and save it as a .jpg?

 

[porkandbeans]

In all the apps I open it with, save as, the only option in the drop down is .bmp (which is the current format).
I can send it to a Windows7 computer, ,jpg it there, and send it back, but it bugs me that I can't find an easier solution.
This is the only issue I've had with 10.
