No I disagree Graeme, very good insight to the CCF. It didn't mention the self levelling Cup-Holders or tow bar though :-) ....sorry, couldn't help myself.


Cheers mate,


Kev.

Hope you don't mind me short circuiting the process (pun intended ... ;-)) but do the shutters work without a CCF change? I understand that the globes may be slow to warm up but that would not affect high beam, since as far as the globe is concerned, there is no difference. They are always on (when headlights are selected). I'm sure some folks could live with having to wait a few seconds for the low beam to come on properly....assuming we are only talking a few seconds. From that point on, everything should work as normal.

The shutter not operating is a different prospect completely.

Cheers,

Kev.

Well the engineer is at it again, all the control unit would be doing is to warming up the gas so that when the high beam circuit activated the Zeon would light up straight away.

Now at a cost of $1,400.00 to be able to turn on a configuration parameter to do that - I bet I could come up with a circuit to do the same - at a cost of max $50.

Another project for the list - dam !

Edit: I bet some one has already done it.

Get someone who has a multi-vehicle licenced device to change the parameter for you.

Can we get a copy of all 14 or so pages ?

I am curious as to what might be there in them woods ! :ninja:

And they will want to charge me $200 for the privilege ! :spudnikcoinflip:

There is not a separate bi-xenon high beam globe for the bi-xenon. High beam is achieved by withdrawing the low-beam cut-off shutter.

I could provide a copy of all the current settings (quite a few have been modified) except that I can't think of a way to keep the VIN private, although I don't recall seeing cup-holder specs anyway.

Hi Tor,


Maybe I'm mis-understanding what you are saying or the other way round?


Once a Xenon globe is on, it's on (It does need to heat up though to achieve max brightness). There is no difference in intensity between high and low beam, the shutter achieves this.....as in, it is a physical block that sits at the legal level for low beam and then lifts when high beam is selected, thus allowing more light to be projected.


However, LR have designed something in the system, which appears to be enabled by the CCF, to pulse the bulb on it's INITIAL start, not on high beam selection, to bring it to max brightness faster.


Cheers,


Kev.

Here you go...

You might notice a discrepancy between the minium rim size and the tyre size fitted.
