had to be stretched a tad since it was 18x8.5 +45 wrapped in 225/45/18

 

Just ordered. Now to get new DRL as well.

 

Yeah, I pulled the fuse to my DRL and put yellow laminex over the DRL area. Now my VLED switchbacks are my DRL

 

Hey Guize!

The 2016 Charity Drive has been taken over at gunpoint by a bunch of hooligans. Since it's almost the end of December and nothing had happened yet, we grabbed the wheel and stole this bitch.

Anyone want to toss a couple bucks at some sick kids? No bullshit, no fucking games or prizes, no nonsense. You give money, I give some money, they get some care.

No acurazine stickers. Just a good feeling for helping others. Cry about that one to someone who cares.

Anyone got any balls?

None here!

 

did you by pass the drl warning light somehow? And you say your switchbacks are your drl now, do you have your lights set to parking lights then?

 

He pulled the fuse = no more DRL, no more warning light.

 

I saw on here that you can pull your fuse to kill the drl, but it will give you a warning light. Never tried it myself.

 

There's no warning light. And yes, I just twist the combi switch to my "parking lights" for my DRL during the day. Since switch backs, they just illuminate white on the outside. Look at my Avatar for reference.

 

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Holidays, Hail Satan!, or whatever your seasonal greetings of choice may be. Hope you all have a pleasant/happy/restful/uneventful/painful day; again, depending on you choice.

 

yeah I'm familiar with switch backs, I've had them on other cars. Cool then, I'm gonna pull my fuse also.

 

just floating this out there while still fresh on my mind.

went through a drive thru pharmacy and when i shifted from P to R, i heard like a clanking noise. this is after i ddrove like 15 min onthe freeway.

when i got home i shifted it again to see if the sound was still there. but it was not. any idea? would this be covered under the powertrain waraanty?

 

Mine makes a fairly loud click when it switches out of park into drive or reverse. Not that noticeable most of the time but in my parking garage leaving work I can hear it pretty well. Maybe being in the drive through with a wall next to you and your window down (I'm assuming) the sound was more audible?

 

no, i could feel it sort of grinding as well.

and earlier today, when i started my car, i heard a clank. i heard it before, but chalked it up to the car lifts at work being creaky.

 

ehhh, reverse is kinda an oddball gear. I wouldn't worry about the noises. You should hear how the manual sounds when you go to reverse, sounds like a rod is snapping each time haha.

 

next time i go in i'll at least ask them to check it out. powertrain is 60k/7years? currently at 51k. to me that shouldn't be the normal sound. also my lifted TsX is getting a lot of looks now. only TSX in the SF bay area like it.

whoa, you're in the bay?! I'm from Alameda.

Whoop whoop

 

Would these work for daytime running lights? From the chart I saw Fogs and DRL are both H11 so I assume this would be fine.

In case anyone else needed some, they were $25, now they're $15.

DRL is the high beam which is a 9005. Fog light is H11.

 

You should use the cree leds in your DRL location. I had 5k in mine.

 

...this is why you don't look for things at 2:30am.

I just ordered 6K LED fogs, wouldn't it be best to get 6K DRL also?

 

Word. Me and eBay have that sort of relationship. It's like Alzheimer Christmas for me from time to time.

So, on the surface, yes.

But remember that DRL is just the high beam running at lower voltage (boffins can step up and say what voltage, maybe 6V?) so that's what gives it the orangeish look from stock. So even if you replace with 6k bulbs, it'll still be orangeish when the DRL is on. Unless you pull the DRL fuse or do that I don't really know what it is. Some sort of step-up circuit or something?

@robpp probably knows.

 

How could a white LED be orange at half voltage


At 6V it'll either work or not as at all depending on the LED itself. They're meant to work on 12V though

 

Well, that's different. Going to a LED in the Hi Beam / DRL changes the story a little bit.

That's not just upgrading to a 6k bulb, which itself will still seem orange at low voltage. (That's what I've got)

Going to a 6k LED in the high beam / DRL requires some goofing around to get it to work right.

 

yes south bay

 

Ideally this is what I want. From the picture it looks a little blue though, I'd prefer pure white.

Sounds more complicated than I thought then, I thought it was just going to be PNP.

 

robpp no care

 

you want to run full power DRL?

you MAY also need a resistor to put out the warning light on the drl if you use LED.

this looks like it solves both

i care fucko i was on holiday/

 

Those look pretty damn white. On the cool side of the white spectrum, I'd guess 6k. Which is right about where you want to be if you want to look at it and think "white" vs. "yellowish", which is what you'd get with anything warmer.

 

remember the drl are not covered so the light output is a bit different. no lens to distort.

 

does anyone have experience with LED Eagle eye bulbs?

Im looking at these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014...308.0.0.bU2xGt

Since the 2009-2011 uses a different OEM fog light housing, I am thinking of putting a cluster of 4 in each fog light housing. I figure an aluminum plate and can be cut to fit inside the reflector bowl and act as an additional heatsink. 4 of these provided the specifications are right can be run in parallel off the ~14v and hopefully be reliable as DRL fogs.

 

How yall like the new odyssey??

 

It looks pretty

Do they still have a model with the vacuum in the back?

Did you design the glovebox or anything?

 

I have a part within the center console.. but I didn't walk it through the entire development. I got it through some of the initial design feasibility studies, and then I got moved off the project to help support some other projects. But honestly this van has really changed my mind about vans. It's got the whole package. It's perfect for families.

 

That's pretty cool, Joe!

Yeah, you're right wagons are the perfect family vehicle (I'm sure you meant to say that) until you outgrow them. Then vans (mini or otherwise) are the best choice.

I liked the gif I saw of the seat configurations. I'd probably run the two seat second row with the walkway in the middle. That's the best option so one parent can drive while the other is able to get up and go back to smack the shit out of a kid that's acting up without needing to slow down from highway speed.

 

Aka, the "Disneyland Deadhead" configuration.

 

So joe, when you throwing the tsx in the bin and picking up an oddy?
