I'm one of those people who have installed many car audio systems , work installing HVAC , but really never learned the basics of Ac/DC current . in probably should , lol Knowing basic electrical engineering knowledge is helpful for Car audio and HVAC installations as well... If you get a 1000 watt AMP, you have to know the output of the Alternator.... You ever see a car that when the base hits their lights dim? It's because they didn't do their math.... In addition to being able to support that power, you have to have instant power, so you need a capacitor bank for the quick pounding of the bass line.... HVAC too... Residential and industrial hardly mix as one is 240v the other at 480.... then, some old house only have a service 60 Amps at 240v, gotta be careful your new HVAC doesn't have monster fans and other energy hogs... I believe TVNACMAN does HVAC as a career.. He probably has to do electrical math everyday.... You should hit google one day... Learning just the basic math goes along ways!  I had an old maxima and the alternator was pretty weak. I had to install a capacitor so my lights would not dim at idle . My dad went to triangle tech for HVAC before he started working for the power company. I've been working with him for the past 15 yrs with the HVAC , I know all except the basic and in depth electrical knowledge . don't get me wrong in know some but not as much as I should. |

On a totally un-related note... I suck at typing and need to proof read more... I'm constantly having to edit, not because of misspelling and typos, but because I skip, typing words... I think way faster than I type and leave words out of my sentences all the time... Very frustrating. I do the same thing. I'm typing on a phone so I usually post the comment then I end up having to go back and edit , lol . this phone likes to change my words a lot also . |

I have a set of these led high beam lights laying around . if I can get them to fit nice in the headlight assembly they might work pretty good.  |

A few things (I considered using them and decided to not do so). 1. The newer ones are sort of bright enough, but anything more than 6 months old will not be anywhere near as bright as your H4. 2. They get HOT. I'd worry more about melting your headlight assembly with CREE bulbs than with H4s. 3. No high beam / low beam. You CAN get an H4-sized base on a CREE bulb -so it will just plug in. Doesn't look like those are them. |

I ordered bulbs for my moms car , and these are the high beams bulbs that are suppose to fit her sonata , but they were too long and hit part of the inner assembly. I purchased them about 1 month ago . I'll just stick with the h4 bulbs . these ones are h1 if I m not mistaken .

I purchased them about 1 month ago . I'll just stick with the h4 bulbs . these ones are h1 if I m not mistaken . Here are 3 pix of how to wire your switches in. Like all schematics, looks way more complicate than it is. Pic 1 - where to snip your wires (you are just sniping the wire to EACH headlight so you can power them separately). DON'T snip the ground (green?) wire - I just messed up when drawing this pic)  Pic 2 - wiring the high beam to switches (all you are doing is to put a pair of switches between the wire harness and each high beam)  Pic 3 - wiring the low beam (this is just like high beam, EXCEPT adding a third switch so you can turn the low beam flasher on or off)  The only thing is I would NOT connect the flasher/relay line to #1 untill you have your 11-pole installed (so you don't draw too much current when the flasher is ). |

Thanks , I'll prob start on it 2mro . the package might b here 2mro . my fan cover from Illinois just shipped today ! I ordered it over a week ago  . |

TBA , Im not too bad at basic math , that is +,-,×,÷ , even with fractions. Its when you get into calculus , and even some trig is where I'd have problems. I know ohms when wiring speakers and how to wire the speakers so the ohms are not too much for what a amplifier calls for. And of course wattage when dealing with car audio. I need to learn more about calculating between , amps , volts etc. Its nice to have the knowledge on hand rather than have to look it up . |
