what made you go 35w over 55w?

 

One of my co-workers had 55w and he literally burnt a hole through the lense, so I wanted to stay clear or any issues and went with the 35w.

I looked at the Amazon reviews. Although 4 stars with over 1000 customers, the negative reviews are of some concern. Flickering, failure after 2 months, overheating, etc.

 

Any problems so far?

So I saw you said you put hids in but I think you have the reflector housing, does the light get scattered everywhere and blind on coming drivers?

You never put an HID in a reflector housing, the bulbs aren't set up for it. You quadruple the light out put with a bulb designed to have the housing direct its beam and cutoff. It blinds people, period. Never understood why people don't just do it properly and buy the correct housings. Can only imagine how hard it is on elder eyes or those with some eye problems with those types of lights coming at ya...

I was skeptical about the lights due to the reviews as well, but I haven't had any problem with them so far and I've had them for about a year now. The kit I bought came with inline capacitor and that helps with the flickering and lights coming on right away, but I also have a relay harness that illuminates all issues I could have.

OK thanks... good info to know. That's a great price!

It's the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced. Has attached camera with gimball so the stability of the camera is unreal. Was recording in 1080x60fps.

i wondered if that was the reason. I've heard of that happening. Thanks.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
