Man that's complicated. I'll have to read again after I get some caffine in me.

 

Measuring tape and chalk.

Oh, and darkness.

 

Tape, check
Chalk, check
Darkness, eventually check
Flat, level ground by a wall...

I'll have to work on that. Lol

 

I've got a connection issue with my Putco harness.

It appears the male "pigtail" is the culprit. Anyone else have this issue and know where I could get the male pigtail. I went to Oreilly and autozone and was unable to get an answer from them.

 

I just got my autopal e codes in the mail. They're the ones that come with those blue 55w/65 bulbs. I also ordered some hella 55w/100 bulbs. Since it was dusk I decided plug them in and try out both bulbs. I'm sort of liking the whiter hue to.the autopal bulbs, but are they really worth leaving in? Or are they sort of a crappy bulb thats going to burn out quickly?

 

Put the autopals in with the hella h4 55w/100 bulbs and mannn are they bright! Totally not aimed right at all but they are forsure a good $50 investment. I need to find a wall or something to aim them properly..

ive been googling for a while to no avail, and if this is answered in this thread already i do apologize.

whats the lumen output on the stock xj headlights?and also compared to the h4

 

H4 is excellent. Stock is ****-poor.

What are you trying to figure out?

I know one poster used an app on his smartphone to measure the difference between stock and with the upgrade harness and saw a 50% increase in output. Don't remember the lumen figures though.

 

im just trying to prove a point to my brother lol. i got some led lights that give out 2150 lumens each and he said that the headlights were better so i dont know what hes smoking lol so to know the lumen output of stock would be helpful to rub it in his face

 

Do something much more practical like clean your throttle body with his toothbrush. More fun and you win.

 

i love the idea but he doesnt live with me. wouldnt be worth the gas money lol

 

As a practical joke one time, I had a printer buddy of mine make up some business sized envelopes that had something printed boldly on the front.

"Herpes Test Results. Personal and Confidential"

Did I have fun with those!!

 

That's just perfect lol


But in all seriousness anyone know the actual stock lumen measurement ?

 

I saw it once but have no recollection of it.
