Hi all, I just recently swapped out my halogen low beams for some Diode Dynamics SL1 bulbs to give them a try. Both re-index on the collar to keep the fan pointed down. Not sold on them yet as I am experiencing some issues.
1) Horrible RF interference - Basically can't use the FM radio. Going to install the Slee offroad hefty wire lighting kit soon to see if I can isolate / get rid of this. Not sure if it will help, or if it is more indirect EMI.
2) Both of my headlight housing are Toyota brand, however, the drivers sides interior looks significantly less "shiny" without the light on, the reflector looking almost hazy. I believe that this has resulted in the light looking much brighter to the eye, but having a crappy dispersal pattern on a wall. Passenger side headlight looks super shiny inside, (without light on), appears less bright to the eye when on, BUT has a much better pattern on a wall. I know that the drivers side was in an accident at some point so maybe a factor of parts changing over time?
3) My headlight adjustment screws appear to be way out of whack, anyone know what is up with them. Turning them does nothing. Below is the passengers side while the driver side has the plastic arm all the way at the top of the bolt.
4). Sheared a bold on the upper right hand side bracket of the top most tiny front radiator. Does anyone have a part number for the bracket?
Thanks!
