new headlight bulbs — logbook Toyota Corolla Levin 1994
With the onset of the dark season, I decided to implement an old idea and put brighter lamps, or rather KOITO WhiteBeam III.
The difference with conventional light bulbs is like day and night ...))) The road has become much better visible
. I put it on the street in the cold - I didn’t bother with cutting the antennae and turning the lamps ... and now I’m driving with the wrong light (
I share your joy, the lamps are really good. I myself recently got tired of driving with xenon in one headlight (an ignition unit was screwed up on one) and diodes in fogs, and put whitebeam3 wherever possible. They obviously lose to xenon, but compared to the regular ones, they shine just gorgeous! H7 + H3C kits cost three rubles in total
well, at least the H4 lamps have 3 protrusions - such as not to put the lamp incorrectly ... but in order for the light to look like a European lamp, you need to turn it a little ... and just these "antennae" protrusions get in the way)))
here is a detailed description toyota-club.net/files/06-…10/06-01-10_rem_far-1.htm
here is a quote "... the most practical is the way in which the change in the light beam is achieved by turning the H4 type bulbs around its axis. If you look at the headlight from the back, it is easy to see that in all right-hand drive cars the bulb is fixed in the headlight not strictly vertically, but turned clockwise by a small angle.In practice, it has been repeatedly verified that turning the light bulb at the same angle, but in the opposite direction, allows you to achieve the desired result, i.e. eliminate that part of the light beam that shines upwards to the left and blinds oncoming drivers.
Since the light bulb is fixed in the headlight with the help of three antennae, to turn it, the easiest way is to cut off these antennae with ordinary scissors, and then insert the bulb into the headlight, turning it in the opposite direction at a similar angle. Due to the friction force, the light bulb is held in the headlight quite reliably, however, if you are still afraid that it may turn during operation, when cutting off the antennae, do not cut them off completely, but leave about 0.5 mm from each antennae. These remnants, pointed with scissors, will cling very well to the plastic housing of the headlight and will not allow the bulb to turn over ...
