SamBor THANK U so much. THANK YOU! ButSomeHowever, I went to buy this thing and they want a $5.00 HANDLING fee PLUS shipping which is going to equate to a $21.00 or so fee plus the part so almost 25 bucks. Will the diode I found on EBAY see above "not" work? It was really inexpensive, It was...
...and I found another one on ebay, too bad I can't link to it but, it says;
15amp Bypass / Blocking Diode for DIY Solar Cells PanelDue to popular demand, we are making our 15 amp Bypass / Blocking Diodes that are part of our solar cells kit available for purchase individually for DIY solar...
There is a guy on Ebay selling brand new floor mats for those things for $343.00 free shipping . THAT would sweeten up the cab nice! PM me for the link .
Well now! hmmmm, ok , looking up a "Diode" am I correct in saying a Diode is basically a one way check valve so electricity will only flow one way? If so I understand what you say. NOW I need to figure out what kind of diode I need...
I guess if I could find a vehicle these lights came installed on stock, I might be able to dig up a TM w/ a wiring schematic. It's looking like I might just use a standard battery switch and wire it to a floor dimmer switch.
No. The mounting stud is the ground for sure. If you look at the bulb you will see 3 contacts, the middle is the ground and inside the light there is a wire from the middle contact to the stud.
WOW! Some of the stuff they are peddling is off the chain awesome! I do not know what the laws are and of coarse a guy needs lots of doubloons to ship stuff but DANG! CLICK HERE
OK I just heated up both at the same time and I get a MUCH brighter light, while it was on I unplugged one at a time and got what I might call a high and a low beam. The intensity of the beam was hot a few inches away but heck, my headlights throw heat darn near 3 feet away. Maybe I will write...
I failed electrical school, having said that, if I grab a multi-meter and turn it to the "200" (the lowest) setting in the OHMS section (the horseshoe area) and if I check both left and right connections to the ground which is the mounting stud, I get almost the same reading on both, 2.9 and 2.8...
Well, I just heated up the left side then the right side and the "brightness" is the same. I need to find out what vehicle these things came on originally and look at the wiring schematic. If it only shows a DIMMER switch next I need to determine if indeed dimmer switches just heat up one side...
Yes, that was my first step actually. The Click Here link in post 1 covered that. I wanted to determine what 90% actually is. I am finding that the majority of folks do not know what 90% really is, especially sellers, seems like it is a black art of sorts eyballin' these monsters. This will help...
