I've run these bulbs before, but not since hitting a deer almost 3 years ago. That took out a headlight and bulb. I ordered another headlight, but not the super bright bulbs at the time.
Another vehicle was coming toward me, so I dimmed the lights. All of a sudden, there was NO HEADLIGHTS and I was at highway speed after dark!
If it wasn't for DIY it would have been gone a long time ago. But after 33 years I quest I'LL keep it. I like driving it better than the 16 F150 . As soon as I get a chance the turbo is next, I half to get a oil line from Russ and I will have all the prices for the install. I found my instructions from ATS for the install, I called them in 2003 right after I bought it from JY in whictal falls TX, when I was at Shepard AFB.Love me some out of the box, DIY!
I don’t know about where you are but I’m pretty sure in some states line locks in street cars are illegal. If you have to pass state inspection it could be an issue. Personally I’ve considered it myself for as bad as the parking brakes are in these things.Just thought I'd add another mod I did last night - I added an ebay "line lock" to the front brakes.
It's effectively a 1-way check valve with a solenoid; engage the solenoid and fluid only flows into the brakes, not from them.
So you power it up, press the brake pedal and it 'locks' the brakes on until you switch it off.
My use case? E-brake is broken, and I need some way of getting out and opening gates, hooking trailers etc. without having to shut the truck off for a few seconds each time.
I've tested it, and it seems to work nicely. It took several adapters to make it work, though(solenoid comes with 1/8 NPT connections).
