Instrument panel dilema.

So which way do you mount a 168 bulb in for optimal lumens and lowest amperage draw, I do not want to go led. Do I use Clockwise windings of the filament in northern hemispheresin relation to positive or CCW?

Missionary or doggy style would work... oh you mean a different type of mount

And, more importantly, which color of light bulb grease do you use to get maximum lumen's.

 

[Ddaddy]

Switch to a 168 HPC bulb so you get more photons per mm of filament at the same milliwatt current flow. Because the photons are self correcting for rotation, it is a direct swap.

 

[halifaxhops]

Hmm have to check that.

Don't forget to check the fluid, especially in the blinkers

 

[Ben Drinkin]

Dude! Really? Just paint the bottom half of the bulb with reflective paint. Doubles the lumens coming forward cuz you don't lose the light going backwards. You're overthinking this again..

That is only true in the southern hemisphere... The photons do not self correct in north America....The story was in popular lighting weekly....

That might just do it just have to find the right paint.

Just make sure it is OSHA approved paint.....might not pass inspection there in PA. other wise..

 

[dukeboy440]

Wrong

So one of our friends just had a baby. Well she called my wife for some advice. She's made at her husband because he refuses to drink her breast milk!!!

Just get the car inspected in the daytime... They can't check the lights in the daytime.

 

[Mopar Tim]

Wrong

how is this about poor Hoppys light bulb problem? Get with the program!

hush, I thought I'd clicked on the coffee shop thread. It's late

Well, I guess you could say they both involve high beams

Of course, stupid me!!!

I would say if she swallows then he should.
Sound fair?

No not inspection related just pace of mind don't need a lens to melt. Any one know what hertz they should be at?

Use the microprismatic paint so the photons stay aligned. If they start to bump into each other, retinal reception will drop by 40%.

Don't forget to reinstall the ultraviolet light shields, don't want you going blind

Bulbs from rental cars ain't no brighter than the regular ones.

12.5 minihertz. Don’t confuse it with midgethertz or your filament will be shortly blown.

See? Scientific proof of the principle of the obvious.. Quit overthinking it!
