So a Motorsport courier...if it wasn't time critical you'd be in a van.
It's not really glamorous is it? I bet you do it just because it's fun.
I engineer our cars at the other end because that's fun but the journey is part of it. If we have late parts/upgrades then I'll generally carry them as normally I'll head out after the trucks. Realistically any excuse to blat about the place is a valid one It's not really glamorous is it? I bet you do it just because it's fun.

How are the LEDs? Do they scatter like some HIDs can or are they better? Suspect someone who does serious miles (and things properlt) is in a place to know!
Great thread and thank you for sharing!
They are in a H7'ish package and the reflectors have been modified to cut the beam pattern down so there is very little scatter. They are much better than most HIDs, draw less power and provide a much better quality of light, these are passively cooled too with a heat sink in the wheel arch to disipate the heat whereas a lot of aftermarket ones are fan cooled which is fairly brave all things considered.Great thread and thank you for sharing!

Sound excellent and very well done! Thanks for a detailed (and interesting) explanation!

What an awesome way to earn a crust! I don't suppose you have room for a soon to be unemployed mechanic to navigate/spanner/make the tea?poppopbangbang said:
