PrinzII Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 But one thing that's been in the back of my mind is that when peeps get 55w HID kits, they get relays so that the battery directly powers the headlights. These LEDs are 45w. I am wondering if a relay harness will be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 No relay will be necessary. The reason a relay is helpful with higher power HID kits is because of the much higher power level required at startup to get the arc started. LEDs don't have that startup surge so the 45 watt requirement is well within the capability of the stock circuit designed for 55W halogen bulbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well, pretty soon, the HIDs will be gone and LEDs in their place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 In Lickskillet's thread, the point about aiming was raised. I will make sure the lights are properly aimed so that I don't blind oncoming drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 She's fine now. It was a mixture of a wicked cloud of nitromethane and remnants from pneumonia. I should be getting them in the coming weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Now that wifey is slowly getting back to normal, I have to revisit lighting projects on the Edge. Things changed recently because my switchbacks got screwed up because the lead wires broke off and fell to the ground. I am running halogen bulbs currently.

Cellbine Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Glad to hear your wife is doing well! Boo to halogens! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Tell me about it. The options at VLEDs (other than Tritons) are not much better than Halogens in terms of light output.

PrinzII Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Well, looks like the wife wants to put our Edge on the road again. She wants to go to her family event in St. Louis which means that lighting upgrade is going to have to happen sooner than later.
