Hey Pat,
I have had Phillips Extreme White bulb in for a couple of years. They were an improvement, but not huge and they were exy for what They delivered.
Still the light is reasonable white.

Hey Pat,
I have had Phillips Extreme White bulb in for a couple of years. They were an improvement, but not huge and they were exy for what They delivered.
Still the light is reasonable white.
Anyone able to find a less expensive solution to the light kits being sold by bolt on bits for all the other lamps? I'm trying to go all led! The moisture here just gets in all the lenses and it is annoying as all hell.
I'm going HID with my defender. Pat
Heres the Comparison shots
TruckLite Phase5 vs standard H4 (wired via relays)
I took the H4 shots a few months ago but parked the car in the same spot & used the same camera settings F3.5 1/4 sec 400ASA but still the camera changed the colors as the H4 which run Diamond White bulbs are decidedly yellow in comparison (which can be seen in the H4 High + LED bar image, lower left, you can see the yellow of the H4 at the end of the driveway
The white rail fence other side of road is 80m away
As can be seen, the fact that the TruckLites dont dip to the left is of no consequense at all.
Ive yet to have anyone flash me.
The difference is more clear via the actual eyeball, eventho the camera was on Manual it still compensates somehow,
The TL lowbeam takes some getting used to, there is a dark spot in the middle and a very sharp cut off, if your behind a car their boot to bottom of rear window is brightly lit but you can not see in the window at all. Its like night & day literally.
still need some aiming fine adjustment, but you get the idea.
Worth the $400 no doubt, not only for the fact that I can see better ( the glare of reflective surfaces is less too) but they are only 30w each on high beam 15w on low ( which is about the same power consumption as your interior lamps), and the fact that they will outlast the car and are bulletproof (literally as found in Afghanistan)

can you add one of the light bar without the other beams?
I see the TL5 allows you to pick out local wildlife much better :D
Thanks for the shots...
Based on the fact it is camera shots its hard to tell, but I think you are getting a better light spread on Low Beam with Halogens (appears to be less shadowing).
High beam appears to be a mild improvement.
Obviously the infill of the LED bar is sweet...
As they say: Elkeen na hul eie :)
the light bar is wired in to only be switched on when my high beams are on so I put some boards in front of my headlights for this image,Quote:

Agreed the Low Beams of the H4 is a better spread , The TruckLite Phase5 does have dark shadowy bits, If I'd known I'd have spent another $50 and got the Phase6 which fixes the problem, (6 LED's on Low beam plus better diffuser than the Phase 5 - 5 LED's on low) , Not such an issue when driving tho, (I'll upload some from the dashcam tomorrow)Quote:

Your standard H4 globes are 55/65w?
