Guest rockmeupto125 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I also would like to know the advantage or disadvantage of h4 opposed to h7 can someone shed some light. The first advantage that comes to mind is that H4 doesn't fit the XX, whereas H7 does...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willxx23 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 So the recommended kit for replacing both beams would be the h-7 @ 5000k? 5000k seemed to be the most usable light by the comments here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montoya32 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I might be interested depending on the price. Also, can someone give me a brief summary of the whole color scale and what is typical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar50racer Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hi Paully,Please inform your group buy people that I will wait until 9/20 for the last payment comes in. In the meantime, I will process the order. Everything is sch to be shipped on 9/21-9/22. Please note since this is a very special group buy price for a McCulloch G5 Kit, it is better for me to show a decent number of purchases at a time. Any problem you can email me, I will answer your email within the same day. Thanks Greg I recieved this today, talk it up guys. I might be interested depending on the price. Also, can someone give me a brief summary of the whole color scale and what is typical? This was discussed earlier in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beondwacko Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 One last note guys. I was the one who reccomened this source of the kits,( not that it matters, I just want everyone to be well "lit") and belive me , you'll be really happy with the results. But do yourselves a big favor...... I posted a thread once on how I went about the install of this kit, and when it comes to the lamp install itself you'll NEED to do what I did to keep the lamp in correct orientation in the housing! If you don't, there will be a lot of help posts and a ton of frustration !!!! The Secret with the lamp install is this. At the base of the capsule is a "disc" with a "tit" on it. This in the part of the lamp that litterally sits in the headlight housing. It has the "tit" on it so that when you place the lamp in the hole,,, it faces the right direction. The only shortcomming of this kit is this. That "disc" is shorter in height that the standard H-7 lamp. Because it is shorter, the clip that locks the lamp in place will not securely hold the lamp!! Here's the trick. TAKE A SPARKPLUG BOOT, AND CUT ABOUT 1/8-3/16'' OFF THE END. THEN,, DIAGIONALLY , CUT ONE SIDE OF THE BOOT SO THAT YOU CAN OPEN IT UP LIKE THE LETTER "C". SLIP THAT PEICE OVER THE BACK SIDE OF THE LAMP CAPSULE WHERE THE RETAINING CLIP WOULD MAKE CONTACT WITH THE "DISC" ON THE CAPSULE. THEN YOU'LL HAVE GOOD TENSION WITH THE MOUNTING CLIP INSTALLED. IF YOU IGNORE THIS PROCEDURE,YOU'LL EITHER GO CRAZY TRYING TO BEND THE CLIP TO HOLD THE LAMP , OR THE LAMP WILL JIGGLE IN THE HEADLIGHT OR FALL OUT ALL TOGETHER !!!! Also , try not to touch the glass capsule. Handle it like a halogen lamp. If you do end up touching the glass with your fingers, clean it with some alcohol ( not beer ) . Now , although the kits draws high current at startup ( 15 amp ) I didn't have to do anything to my XX's electrical system to handle it. It's never been a problem , and I have the kit installed on both high and low beam. If anyone has any install questions , I'll answear all of them. I promise. This board is the best damm thing I have found on the Web, and I just want to show my appreciation. This guy ships MEGA fast. 3 days from HONG KONG !!!! And that was to New York.

Furbird Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 beondwacko, couldn't we just use a water hose washer or some similar-sized o-ring or washer to do the trick? I'm thinking a water hose washer is about the same size as a spark plug boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetXX Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I sent an email off to them and got the following reply: Sorry for not confirming your order. Please note we did receive your payment, and your kit is sch to be shipped on 9/21. Thanks Andy I am guessing he is a little over run with orders right now!

Chawk60 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Is there anyone who wanted a HI beam only? I was getting the set, but really want just lows. If so, please PM me...I'm in Atlanta, and don't mind shipping it to where ever you may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickrad Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Is there anyone who wanted a HI beam only? I was getting the set, but really want just lows. If so, please PM me...I'm in Atlanta, and don't mind shipping it to where ever you may be. The beams are just where you put them. You get two bulbs if you wanna split it with someone they can use it for high or low beam. They are not dedicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beondwacko Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 FURBIRD : I like the idea of the sparkplug boot because the material is very heat resistant , and easy to work with. It won't dry out like rubber either. Not only that , but the base of the lamp has a larger diameter than the boot does, and it's a peice of cake to slip it on there and not have it fall off durring installation. I'll take pics durring my next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
