I had JUST finished installing some new LED foglight bulbs in the lexus. looks BITCHING
BEFORE:
AFTER:
I had such joy....
30 minutes Later the alternator shit itself and died. -.-’
and OFC, my dad is blaming the fact that I put in NEW FOGLIGHT BULBS as to why the alternator died...
Can I catch a break at all these days?

When I put in slightly brighter headlight bulbs on my wife’s car, it ate a fuse and blew both bulbs almost immediately. Replaced the fuse and put in the recommended bulb and haven’t had a problem since...
TLDR: spooky things happen with lights.

That sucks. But look on the bright side. Your story makes me feel a bit better about the whatever-it-was that hit my windshield today and left a divot.

But looking at the bright side is exactly why he’s in this position!

I read divot as duvet at first and was thoroughly confused

I still dont get HOW he thinks a bulb change (to lower draw bulbs) can fuck an alternator.

Not my fault. He pretty much LED me right to it.

You could explain the difference between correlation and causation to him, but the only thing he (and most people) will think is: “It worked fine, he touched something, now it doesn’t”

That alternator was done anyway ... doubt you even took 24 hours off its life. Tell dad to chill.

I find my LED fogs are too white to be effective in heavy fog. So yellow tint I want soon.

I’ll never understand why people take a photo of the light source instead of the light output to show the improvement.
Seems like they will cause a lot of glare, especially considering your before photo was taken at a lower height than the after.

lets put it this way...
I dont need headlights anymore. fogs and High beams is all I need
