I got some opt7 led headlights. First off they're 9006 which i know will fit with some trimming. My problem is there is no grommet to seal on the dust cover. Do I need the dust cover on there? It says in the instructions that it needs airflow.

You need to cap it or the humidity is going to kill the electronics in your headlight. there is a cutoff shutter for highbeam might seize to move if it is clogged or rusted.

 

Why did you need the grommet? did you drill a hole through the cap?

I havent drilled it yet. But i would have to drill probably a 7/8" hole to fit the connecter through. I'll have to take a picture.

I thought it is plug and play not needing to drill any holes for any wiring harness....

Heres the harness. I would either have to drill a hole or stuff the hole thing under the cap. It also says in the instructions that it need good airflow, so use without the dust cover. I dont know, maybe I should just return them.

Should be fine if you stuff everything under the cap. There is a lot of hollow space in the headlight actually if you have seen it opened. There should be enough air volume to be cooled off with the entire surface of the headlights.

Tried the out last night. Theyre ok, cant say im totaly pleased but they seem to be better than stock. I was so tired driving that maybe I didnt really notice the change. I also use my 30" lightbar alot so im probably so used to the super bright light.

I'm running 55W 5k Opt7 HIDs and you can definitely see the difference. I get flashed even during the light of day by drivers on the other side. Been running them for 8 months now without issues.

 

Are you running a 180w or 300w light bar?

Did you adjust your cut off?? I kept getting flashed with my 55w until I lowered them. No flashes for months now

Sure did. Twice actually. I wish I had a pic during night time ... At times I feel like it's just too low now. Only have a 2.5 RC leveling kit on

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
