I decided to take a light mechanism in to the platers with the last batch. I really like the way it came out. I polished up the ring and mounted the Carello's. Then I stuck the trim piece on there for good measure.
These, the Pilots and the Hella's and Aaron and I should be lighting up the night. I hope that 911 alternator can keep up! Attached image(s) |

QUOTE Good ole Ohm's Law E=I X R E= voltage, I= current, and R= resistence. Add up all known wattage loads and divide by voltage and you get your current requirement. Then you want to service factor it by some percentage for safety and inrush current. Hired... only you're not running welding cable in my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Personal preference for sure. I like it because it flexible while at the same time carries current very well...welding cable, who'd of thought. My concern is upgrading the alternator and making sure the wire is upgraded also. No sense in putting a 90 amp alternator in to run 70 amps of light when the wire will only handle 50 amps. You know I have to inspect your work don't ya.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
