I get my H6W OEM HID City light bulbs at the Mercedes dealer for less than half of what Audi sells them for. The guy thinks I'm nuts since I buy them 4 at a time. hehePowder Hound said:What I did:
More than a year ago I began a search for a proper regulator for the current to LEDs. The objective was to replace various lights on my car with LEDs in order to give better light as well as keep from having to replace hard to get to light bulbs.
About 9 months ago, having found a suitable power solution, I designed a replacement city light bulb. I installed it to determine whether my power solution worked and if the heat sink I came up with would prove adequate to allow the LEDs to live in their new home.
Having decided that my test was successful and making a couple of design changes to lower the heat stress on the power supply, I installed what should be a long lasting yet brilliant end result.
The new city lights are in amber. They are nearly bright enough to be weak fog lamps, but at any rate are visible with the low beams on (see the second photo) and give a rich amber illumination to the high beam reflectors.
I also tried one in blue, red, and green. I did a white one, but the LEDs were defective and fried themselves immediately. Sometime I'll fix that.
The photos of the red and blue were a little disappointing because the camera could not capture the true color saturation. You can check them in my member's gallery photos. I think they'd be sufficient to be used as police lights. Of course, I wouldn't leave them in - it is illegal in Arizona (and most every state, I'd bet) to display red or blue lights on the front of your car.

Compared to other offerings, they already have survived long term. But, I'll accept your gracious complement at the appropriate time if you let me know what "long term" is in your book!mtltdi said:...
If these survive long term, I commend you for your work.
thats what I do all the time, I just go to the local benz dealermtltdi said:I get my H6W OEM HID City light bulbs at the Mercedes dealer for less than half of what Audi sells them for. The guy thinks I'm nuts since I buy them 4 at a time. hehe

Did Jeff get that working for you Delvi? What are you going to do with the old one...delvi__acevedo said:I swapped this:
TDI FIS
Now I can see at what RPM the engine is at, before the tach used to just disappear @ 5500rpms , much happier now with this + RC6

Nice to see you alive and well ....seems you've been working a millions hours. You usually post in this thread at least twice a week.
LOL
zippy!!Zippy_car said:Got a new right from axle and another right rear wheel bearing and hub! (that makes 2 in less than a year) Got rid of most of the nasty vibrations and humming noises... now I just have to figure out where my new vibrations are coming from... low vibration at 2k both under load and when decelerating, then it gets worse at 3800-4k (under load only)- it's ruining my powerband! I'm thinking new motor mounts are next....or maybe my clutch is on it's way out (time for an upgrade when that happens).... grrrrr. So much work... so little money.
Justin, that is tuff for me to answer, yes and nooldpoopie said:no provision for glowplug light I assume
Inside the combustion chamber, the fuel would ignite immediately and never touch the piston moving up towards it. Assuming, of course, that the injection timing is correct and the nozzles are in good condition.Fix_Until_Broke said:Also had to have a little fun with the pop tester. Picture does not do it justice - it makes 5 flames each about 18" long for a very bright orange 3 ft diameter circle of fire.
Hmmm, sure doesn't look like the time I had mine pop tested:Fix_Until_Broke said:...

I bought some overpriced H6W LED's from the UK and had them frying about one every month until I switched back to Halogens. So long term would probably be anything more than 6-12 months which is what I get from my headlight city lights, and the H6W's in my Hella Euro DRL's.Powder Hound said:Compared to other offerings, they already have survived long term.
