What have you done to your ride lately?

[Boomtacoma01]

Replaced another defective sylvania headlight. Fucking POS. Back to running OEM bulbs. Next set will be a set of LEDs. Changed cabin and engine air filter as well.

So far my LED's have been great. But my only concern is they have a super tiny fan on the backside.. I imagine it will die before the actual bulb and become the downfall of them.

I need to get into the LED deal.

That is the downfall of em. I'm on my second set but I absolutely love how much light they put out. Cant beat it for the price and lifetime replaces them for free.

Where did you buy yours?

Mine are from Olympus Offroad.. They are not as bright as the Lifetimes though. But they are equal to a set of Sylvania Ultrastars or whatever I had previously. I'm very very happy with them. But I also probably don't drive as much as he does or use my lights so a set of Lifetimes might last me longer.

I'm digging these 70 watt LED's! Damn I would be pissing people off with them.

Oh hell... I just saw these. My 81 needs a pair. The lights I have now suck! And they are new housings with new bulbs.. just a shitty throw.

I think Mike got his from SouthEast Overland, or at least discussed that place with me when he bought them...

 

[Silverback]

Did you buy a set as well? Any issues? Like I said mine are fine but I am guessing the fan will be the downfall of them. They need a big ass heatsink.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Nope. I *may* buy a set if I don't get screwed on frame replacement. I'm only keeping it running until then...

Any word on that? You know this might be the opportunity to do a 2x4x.120 wall box frame. ... you know.. like they should have from the factory.

I got mine from southeast bc they had free shupping at the time. I can't express enough how fucking bright these lights are. They are amazing. A mus have mod.

Only downfall was replacing them. I had to wait a week or two to get a new set in. But these are so bright they are worth the wait.

That sucks to wait so long. How long did they last? Knock on wood mine are about 8 months old and no issues. It would suck to wait that long for a replacement, which are supposed to last "30,000 hours". Lets hope your second set are more reliable. That being said, I will not be going back to traditional bulbs either.

They lasted a few months. Maybe they got wet bc I néed to pull my China headlights and seal with silicon. But they are advertised at 2200 lumens...it makes people get out of my way on the highway

Playing the waiting game on my VIN being called.

What the shit?

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Mine did the same thing, except the car wash ripped it damn clean off

Shit ton of epoxy fixed it for now

Removed stupid locking lug nuts that I didn't have a key for, replaced all 4 brake rotors with Bosch Quiet Cast, and changed the oil on the FJ. Ready to leave for Ruidoso in the morning.

Tried to install the top plate spacers I got from Rich, but they are too big to use without replacing the bolts in the coilover. Not gonna jack with that till I Get new shocks.
