So today is my 21st birthday! Took the day off and wanted to try out the little car presents I got:
Ebay Karcher lance attachment with adapters and a set of Nighteye LEDs to use in my full beam.
Gave the car a quick clean, nothing major, just used up the last of my snow foam and rinsed off the loose dirt. Until my snow foam lance began to play up on me, only drawing the mixture through at random points so will have to strip the lance down and give it a look over. Left the car with a uneven coating snowfoam.
Cleaned it all off with the new attachment, works pretty well for an Ebay special, makes the small Karcher K2 seem a bit more pressurised. Can’t upload an “After” photo of cleaning as the file is too big.
Next was the task of fitting the Nighteyes, pretty simple installation tbh, got the updated version of them so they don’t have the big fan on the back and the oem bulb covers still fit perfectly on the back. Ended up dropping one of the adapters into the headlight at one point so had to engineer a solution to get it out again:
Splits into 2 parts with a simple twist
Engineering at its finest
Managed to scoop it back to the edge again, my invention worked perfectly.
Adapter in position, just have to then fit the LED unit in place, and plug it in the right way.
Osram Cool Blue Intense Dipped beam and the new Nighteye High Beam up close.
Got another delivery the other day too. As I start most mornings driving at 6:30am, I invested in a screen cover to let me keep some precious sleep time on frosty mornings.
Done for today, was starting to get fairly chilly when I finished up so glad I put the cover on. Next purchase will be the wheel spacers, been looking forward to purchasing these for a while but just couldn’t find an excuse to click buy but suppose when it’s your birthday you don’t feel as guilty for treating yourself!
