hey dutch.

90% sure i have yellow lense w/ clear bulb, but will have to check [this weekend] to be 100% sure of that. you may even be able to tell yourself from the pic above (?).

still no reply from daniel/schweinwefermann/candlepower

cheers,
dd


It looks like you have the clear bulbs.

I haven't heard from the man either, nor do I get a response from his principal supplier when I ask where he is and tell them that an order is waiting on his response.

RE: Backup Light Improvement?

Right everyone, don't panic, I'm back! Sorry for the comms silence; I was on an extended business trip and had absolutely awful internet access (non-access is more like it). Totally astounding for this day and age. I'll go back through the threads and try to get everyone's queries answered. I am about 600 emails behind, so if you sent me a message and didn't hear back from me, please hang on just a little longer and I will answer your e-mail ASAP.

RE: Backup Light Improvement?

I put the bulbs mentioned above in in the brake and backup lights on my ML. I can't say anything about the brake lights, because I can't see them; but those backup lights now really show the way - a very major improvement!

RE: Backup Light Improvement?

Let there be light.

 As for getting a visual on the brake lights: Find a heavy toolbox or rock or something and prop it against the brake pedal. Or, wedge a stick between the driving seat and the pedal. Or, have a helper press the pedal while you walk round to the back and look. Or, step on the brake, then get out and run round the back really, really fast.

I'm fast, but not that fast. I'll just go on faith that the new bulbs are better there, too.

Back up to a freshly waxed car or mirror.
