    Katanas just came out with a newer fan less bulb. Plugs in just like the incandescent. No wires. No drivers. $49.

    I bet that fanless bulb will burn out even faster than your other sets. My fanless LED fog lights lasted about 100 days.

    Bummer. My LED Fan Less Fogs (PerfectFit from HR) are going on 2.5 years strongly. The headlamps that burned out on me went 14 months. I think the fans gave out and couldn’t cool properly. Ended up making the chip go into self dimming mode.

    Side note: I’m starting to notice LED Projectors Units popping up more often on Big Gurrl.

    Thought it was a beer at first. Got excited. Womp womp.

    Truck looks good. I was just watching a video on that product 2-3 weeks ago. Supposedly is good to go 3-4 months.

    Big thing with these new coatings is how long they last. If you would post back.

    NeoX 3mm from superbright leds. 20200820_142821.jpg
    Added white tape for improved reflection.
    20200820_142908.jpg
    Did not change CEL, Low fuel light, or battery light.

    Battery light was dimly lit with LED even when the light was "off." I suspect the airbag light in bottom left is doing the same thing.

    I'm curious if a resistor could be added to an LED to make the low fuel light, and check engine light work.

    Sorry for confusion. What I meant was I would like to know how long it last to bead water.
    Most waxes seem about 3 months. Then you have the true ceramic coatings. That are expensive 2 part products that can take 8 hours to properly prep & apply.
    Now seeing what looks like you used, What maybe a compromise between the two.

    Probably. All it needs is a specific resistance as it's part of a circuit.

    Thanks!

    If you do what I did with the 303, be extremely careful around the guage needles. They are sensitive.

    That wasn't a rub down job like the engine bay, that was true feather dusting. Delicate!

    In hindsight, I probably should have used the 6600k cool white led for backlight instead of the one I used which I can't remember off hand right now.

    That's awesome! My daughter got a few lessons in my truck about a year ago. She really liked the truck, even with its laundry list of flaws.
