Regarding taking pictures, i've already started taking some snapshots of the projection against various walls, of the existing state, even before the new gtlobes arrived.

I also have downloaded an app for my phone which will hopefully give some measurable (but not calibrated) difference in the Kelvin's between the existing and these new ones. I already have apps for LUX readings.

Annoying thing is that this week is probably not going to give me a chance to get them installed.😠

With the LED's, the serious problem I saw was with the projection pattern. It was all screwed up by the globes. And as I said, I was not going to be the test pilot.

As for differences with the previous gen [sarcasm]these new ones are rated at 6200 while the old ones are a measly 6000 thats a whole 3% more blue...[/sarcasm] In reality, I think the difference would be that OSRAM found a way to make them cheaper (to them). I also noticed that the originals actually state the lumens, while the gen 2's don't have that stated (at least on PowerBulbs web site). So I would also guess that they lowered the total lumens some small indiscernible amount in the process.

I've got this and works well. Had it it since May'23. Very bright.

yeah whitevison is pretty good. Wow just over $100 right now, straight from Germany (that's cheap).

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
