Fog light woes


Sub Zero

Recommended Posts

Hey guys so i just saw today that one of my fog lights wasnt working and when i looked closer it seems something has smashed into it and destroyed the glass. 

 

So as the one is truly stuffed i was thinking about making them as bright as dam possible and use them as maybe a secondary highbeam if thats even possible?

are there any sort of kit options to replace them both or does anyone know of anything that could work in their place?

Ahh ok so i would probably be better just upgrading them to daytime runners and leaving them set with the fog light switch? 

 

On that note do you guys know of any good brands that i could change them both to? i was looking at them and the other one looks like its had a hard life and might give up shortly anyway.

drl's are gay... and use more fuel :D

 

Well technically not, they use male to female connectors... male to male or female to female just wouldn't work in the electrical world... xD

 

And LED DRLs use very little power reducing in very little fuel consumption increase, might as well start turning off your radio and A/C if you're worried about that amount of fuel.
Not to mention... we drive Subarus around here :P what is fuel economy? :D

I have just done this to our hiace, used the Hella DRL's shown above, you will need to make sure that they are wired correctly ( turn off when sidelights are turned on) these have 3 wires in them, earth, power and one that turns the DRLs of when power is supplied to it

here is how I did it :) wire form an ignition source, earth to the fog light earth( as long as it is not switched) and then the power from the fog light switch to the turn of wire on the DRL, so when fog light switch is on it works as it should turn on side lights and the DRL's turn off, turn off fog light switch and the DRL's stay on at all times :)

You work over at Turoa side dont you? I try use my engine to brake as much as i can on the way back down the mountain. The worst is the fuel consumption going up haha

Yeah we do,sadly the Van is an auto so engine braking is minimal ( also it get quite heavy fully loaded ) But it is what it is, usually 3 sets of front pads + a set of rotors per winter

@DRFVDR, I remember spotting some of your fleet on the way down to FlatNats this year.

No worries, I have the NZTA updates coming through to my phone we need to updated constantly

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
