NHMJXJ Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Watched the video for the JW Speaker 8910 lights ... very cool, but not $302 EACH cool. Who can spend over $600 for headlights? https://headlightrevolution.com/jw-speaker-8910-evolution-2-dual-beam-5-x-7-chrome-headlight-heated/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I balked at Truck-Lites, but couldn't find a comparison anywhere, so bit the bullet. Do you have these installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I've been working on this for my front marker lights and turn signals. Only got done with one side today sadly but I'm excited to have them done. The regular LED's come on with the headlights and the Amber is for the turn signal. Once they're completely done I'll be spray painting the plastic and possibly fogging out the LED lense so they're completely black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasemonkeySC Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Nice setup.I used those for my reverse lights, and side markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like CFM, you can get 150lbs from a small compressor, no volume and you won't run a DA. Same principal applies to electricity. I stay away from analogies when it comes to electrical theory... the more I teach this stuff the more they seem to confuse a clear understanding of it. Measuring current would indeed reveal an under-performing circuit, but measuring voltage (assuming you understand what's supposed to be going on) is almost always the better/faster route to diagnosis. If he was measuring more available voltage at the headlamp connector(s) when they were on (current flowing), then that indicates the upgrade harness has offered up less resistance in the circuit and the lamp assemblies are now closer to being the only resistors in the circuit. Circuit resistance (wherever it happens to come from) and applied voltage is what determines current flow. LEDs demand far less current than conventional lighting, meaning the shortcomings of the stock harness are just about negated; which, if I understand correctly, is why the OP didn't notice much of an improvement with the Putco harness upgrade. Edit: Just re-read that conversation and realized DesertRat1991 is still running the stock headlamps... means his stock harness was healthy!

GreasemonkeySC Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The more I teach this stuff the more they seem to confuse a clear understanding of it. The struggle is real! I've had experienced technicians argue with me about the correct way to wire a load. One time I had a boss that refused to let me install a relay. He was a tech before he was an administrator. He swore that he installed a relay that hung up. The relay burnt up, and the car burnt down. He didn't believe that a relay needed to be fused, only the output to the load. I had to hide relays after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
