LED ligting 900 1997

Bill, my LED head light trial is continuing in both 940s under varying road conditions. I'm getting a few too many lights flashed at us in both cars, especially at night, but also during the day. Our large almost one square foot reflectors are seemingly way too big for LEDs making people think our high beams are always on whether or not they're being blinded. Putting almost any decent LED 9004-sized bulb in an oversized reflector designed to make the most out of that inferior 9004 bulb design makes them way to efficient. I've adjusting the beams lower than normal in one car and that may have helped a bit. It's also the car most frequently used on unlit roads at night. I hope to have more to say on this later in the way of a proper review and what to expect and watch out for when trying those Auxito LEDs or something similar.

Measuring amps is still not on my do-list. The number is unimportant for my purposes at the moment. I'm not out to compare bulbs or brands, only suitability in actual use. My clamp meter only does AC amps anyway.
