ok I got the new ipf leds fitted and finished today. not your usual fit up on the y62 negative switched. so I tried splicing into the harness under the steering wheel, after many attempts decided to ask a more learned person. now into the fuse box to find the high beam wire which is the small red wire that goes into the white plug that on the o/s guard side. and ill test them tonight.

Is that only temporary with the scotch loc, not the best way to connect wires IMO,
It will fail, Those look like a different style LED compared to others , interested in what you think
Don't tell me facebook....
You know, you can't trust people on there :tongue:
What, didn't you think we could help you here.... LOL

trouble with LED for driving lights they need some form of magnification
and very good reflector, I would think IPF have that covered
they reckon they are good for 400 metres usable all the boys from arb are raving about themQuote:

And I will add as well, avoid scotch locks like the plague. They are simply asking for trouble imo.
ok thanks for advice on scotchlock ill get on it. danny from arb moorebank said to me that they are nearly as good as his intensities and half the price.Quote:

with these lights the spot is great but the spread is not. also the spread got condensation in it so arb are changing it when there is stock in the country. im changing it for another spot and then ill put a small spread bar on it.
I hate scotch locks they are horrible and no good for automotive use imo, however a solder joint can be worse if not done properly, not saying you can't solder hell it's been a while for me so i wouldn't trust my own joints atm, personally I'd use quick crimps with a ratchet tool.
im shit at soldering mates job.Quote:
