Terrain what makes it look like that. In a flat field it shows the full size of the pattern. Bank on the left to taper out the pattern then the patter to the right is a river bank dropping down below. Like I said I'll see about going out for some pictures tonight.

Not a very straight cut off... Possibly blind people there. So your hi part the beam hump would be the point you would have to lower to keep that out people's eyes. Morimoto HID and PIAA LEDs within the envelope of the Morimoto beam path. Still cut off straight. Nothing is above my cutoff line light wise and never blind anyone on lo beam. Hi Beam different story. The path of light is about 20 foot out my driver side past the ditch and then the passenger side another 50 foot in the field, then the top of the bean is over 50 foot tall at 1/2 mile or so. You can see that full 1/2 mile ot the corner and there is a little trailer parked on the hillside road. This is why I'll challenge anyone tell me old school lights reflector style is going to light better and also keeping the light out of everyones eyes. Just can't do it with reflector styled lights.

Your first link, I can tell you those are poor quality as well comparing to the Morimoto HID's. I've got several pups out here running those and still no where as good as the HID's. Most of them are looking for better lights yet even with these... http://www.anzousa.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/1/111065_11.jpg Problem is the still using a halogen dual filament or LED dual filament. hi/lo has to be reflected out the lens yet. Where Morimoto HID is a single filament and uses a shutter to make hi and lo beam cut off exact.

This right here would make me cringe now flipping bulbs positions trying to make a good light pattern. Being the reflector is going to reverse the pattern again. be careful you not changing elevation of the cutoff. Still the bad part is no matter what you do with bulbs and types of bulbs the pattern is only as good as the reflector. If the reflector part of the headlight is low quality then the rest of the pattern going to be poor regardless of what brightness of bulb, LED or Halogen the pattern will be poor. Again like my 1996 Dodge I went LEDs and Clear lens headlights. The reflectors or poor quality so the pattern is too. It might be brighter but hotspotted on the pavement. I'm going to see about get @Wet Vetteto run my 1996 Dodge out to a open area and let you compare both trucks. 1996 Dodge 1500 with clear lens headlights and LED's bulbs -= VS. =- 2002 Dodge 2500 with Morimoto HID's.

Trump for Congress
I wonder if he will actually pull it off. Seem every time Trump does something they call the Impeachment laws in to remove him. I which some people would call the impeachment laws on Pelosi she needs to be removed.

Battery group size?
Same here group 27 batteries from the dealer. Even -30*F around here I've never had one issue getting started with 810 CCA (1620 total CCA) Walmart Batteries group 27's.

All I can say waste of money been there done that for 1 year of sport headlight and relay mod. Pattern sucked. The Secondary bulbs make a narrow view pattern of light that runs vertically. I didn't keep these for more than 1 year and sold them. Light pattern was super poor and even with Silverstar Halogens no much light. HID's still win this battle.

Just consider a 2021 vehicle the comes OEM with HIDs lights... all it takes is a minor bumper push and could tweak the light assembly and be blinding people or just don't care about the fact your lights are misadjusted. This could happen with factory lights or aftermarket. Difference is I actually verify my headlights constantly. I'm watching lo beam pattern for being high, only time that happens when I'm over weight. Then it will pull the lights excessively high. Another common is guys doing leveling kits and tire swap to oversized and forget the light pattern changed from the leveling kit and rise of the tires.

Been kind of a rough day fielding calls of others trying to get info about Russ. Tomorrow I'm going get rolling and get two rigs running...

Russell Muchler Rest In Peace My Friend
I stopped into his place and talked to his partner (Jerry) that lived there on the property. I talked to her about the jobs left behind and already went into town and got a fuel pump for the Chevy Van that I just had the new pump failed. Got the fuel pump today to warranty it out. Then I just posted about the using farm red dye in his truck I'm still working on trying to find out if his fuel pump on the Cummins is any good which I'll start on tomorrow.

Russell Muchler Rest In Peace My Friend
With a sadden heart this morning I just found out my landlord Russell (Russ) Muchler of my other shop passed away last night. We are not sure if he slipped and fell feeding his sheep or had a heart attack. Please offer this man some prayers. So sad to loose my good friend. I've worked with him for many years off and on.

Depends how people want to judge the laws. Some say its illegal to replace any filament style headlight with a LED bulb or HID bulb. Some say its how bright the light is compared to stock halogen (~860 lumens). Most lighting is brighter like my HID's are 4,000 lumens. Like another said its the lens style the D2S is illegal. I was told my white marker lights (switch back bulbs are illegal). Modern vehicles are coming out with LED headlights like Ford did. Then other luxury cars are using HID lighting too. Then the daytime driving light are typically rings around the head lights that switch to amber when turn signal used. At this point I've done nothing that is not already in use by another brand vehicle. Including my illegal tinted windows (35% opacity) which I've never been busted for either. Hey lets throw in the missing license plate lights which have been gone over 10 years. I've never fixed them. I've not had a ticket in over 25 years... Yup! Still counting...

Building a he351 standalone controller
Mopar1973Man replied to Varrieablefirstgen's topic in 2nd Generation Dodge Reliability / PerformanceI remember @Me78569 making a calibration tool for the turbo or a way to reset the vane position. I wonder if that would help figure this out.

As long as I remember to drop my hi beam that would be the only way I could put light in your cab. On low beams there is no possible way to put any light in your cab or eyes. Even my PIAA 530 LED driving light have a good cutoff line too. Just not possible to blind anyone. Now with the 1996 Dodge with LEDs bulbs and the clear lens headlights those scatter so bad its possible to catch you in the cab slightly. Again the quality for the 1996 is because of the crude optical and reflector. Hence the scatter. Now Morimoto HIDs are based on the lens and optics are top notch. Now when the lo beam shutter rises from the bottom the cutoff line is made and the pattern is flipped in the lens so the top side is shadow masked. The cutoff line is is also stepped. The step in the cutoff land right on the center line of the highway for me both beam layout perfect on the highway and the patterns layout perfect not out of place left to right. Now the pattern in front of me is slightly enhanced placing more light on my lane. Then the on coming lane is stepped a bit higher so the cutoff is shorter not to blind on coming traffic. Now the cutoff is very visible and the only adjustment I got is vertically, no horizontal. Never had any law enforcement say anything about my Morimoto's yet. Even when I was pulled over for not having my headlight on in Nevada (headlight safety area). He even check my lights make sure they lit up and not said anything. This was during my trip to Arizona hauling the RV back in June IIRC. No ticket given just reminder and he left... After the next vehicle without headlights on.

Should I get a cold air intake for my 5.9 Cummins?
Quadzilla doesn't use any IAT info at all. Excluded... No effect of IAT while Quadzilla is running or not in Level ZERO. Stock Fuel, Edge Comp or Edge Juice, Smarty all use the IAT and crank up the extra timing and create the negative torque. I fought this for a long time on my Edge Comp. Now with the Quadzilla I don't have any effect of the IAT while the tune is running. But in warm up mode (or Quadzilla level 0) the timing goes high for me I can see it it can reach up to 23* at 2k at about 30*F IAT. Once Quadzilla step up my timing falls back to 19* or 20* @ 2k RPM's. I've got my warm up mode set for 140*F to get into the Quad Timing quicker.

Anti Gel
So, I can handle warranties and such for all the FASS owners that are around me with issues. See more FASS pump issues than AirDog 100/150 (Raptor different story)... Right now that's on hold till I get other things out of the way. I'm trying to clear my plate so I can work on both my 2002 Dodge and my 2006 Dodge and get them both repaired. As for anti-gel topics. I just got a phone call from Russ my landlord of my other shop I rent. He was running out of fuel in his Cummins went out back got a some fuel from his red dye farm tank. Next day now the truck will not start. He's got a block mounted Raptor pump and it got zero fuel pressure. Now I helped him shove the truck in the shop and get heat around the fuel tank. I left my Vulcan Fuel Pressure test gauge there. Now I got to give it a hour or so and go back and check on his truck. Not to mention the fuel pump I just installed in a 1987 Chevy Van malfunctioned and quit. Got power to the pump but now got to warranty it back out. Don't be like Russ and use your red dye farm fuel for your truck if the fuel is not winterized.

Hey.... Just Morning Coffee and Wired Up Chat........
I managed to sneak down to Lewiston to get food for both families. The highways were clean and just wet for the most part. Snow was as low as Lewiston ID which is about 750 feet above sea level. @Jthor and his wife Breck came with me and we went food shopping for our restock. Then boogied home again. The temperature here starting to warm up some but we are forecasted for more snow. All my jobs are outside right now. Ughhh.. I'm going to brave the snow and laying in it to get a customers new steering box back in today. The customer also got a steering brace for the box since his got 35" tires and lift kit. I've got another friend I think I want to refer him to that does custom wheel alignments for lifted trucks. Correct the camber and thrust angles. As of 7:30am its still snowing... That 2005 Dodge is rather covered... Thanks to the "Good Lord" above he lets us sneak out and restock now the show can continue.

Anti Gel
FASS has for years been outside the frame rail. AirDog had what I've got as a short bed bracket and the long bed bracket was still to be used again the frame on the inside but now the filter hung below the frame line and also in the damage path of the tires. I've got both brackets. The long bed bracket with damage path from the fron tires I had all the paint of the filter sandblasted off in a mere week. Then when travel dirt road they where covered in mud all the time. Since going back to my short bed bracket which broke under warranty (this how I got the long bed). The short bed bracket I weld myself back together and just set it back up. No more problem switch back from long bed brackret to short bed bracket. (No long available!) You'll have to custom make this bracket. NOTE: the AirDog 165 pump head does still fit the short bed bracket and the AirDog 150 filter base but its tight to the floor pan. Been trouble free of gelling and freezing up for over 15 YEARS and well over 400k miles. No anti-gel products used. Still today! The last FASS pump I sold to a local is mount just like that one above and his truck gelled up work right along side my truck in the same weather conditions and hauling hay together from New Meadows to John Day Creek to his cows. I was hire by the guy to haul hay for his cows. We both got fuel together and loaded hay together. Needless to say I had to tow him home till his fuel warmed up and weather warmed up it was only -30*F outside that day. To this day I serious hesitate before selling another FASS pump over an AirDog. When a AirDog 150 can run day after day in subzero temps without a problem. But this goes to show how damage path and these pump will make or break them in cold temps. Since my AirDog 150 is NOT in the damage path of the tires I have ZERO problems.

The site that produces mine are sold as street legal. The site I bought mine from are going through web redesign. As for mine are fully assembled and tested before shipping. Now the kits where you buy the projector and take apart the housing install and all that has been done for me. A matter of fact the headlight already came pre-aimed and very close to proper aim. https://retroshop.us/collections/2nd-gen-ram/products/2g-ram-hid-projector-retrofitted-headlights So far 5 years old never been bother by enforcement. Very rare does any one flash high beam unless my hi beam are on too.
