Okay. I'll look for it.thanks

 

You can just post here, it emails me. That way maybe we can post some numbers to help others.

 

I'll do that. Looking now

 

Not having any luck. I'll look more tomorrow.

 

No problem. When you get it I'll call my electrical guy and see what he has to match up.

 

Just to note high beam, low beam and fog lights are all the same H11 bulbs.

 

I wonder, will he have trouble going to a higher power bulb with the multi-plex wiring and modules?
We have an M2 and 122SD, but I haven't changed anything on those, just my Star which still uses basic wiring.

 

There are fault codes for high current. (Above 9.8A) but that would be a 117 watt bulb. I usually ignore any cabin faults unless the customer specifically requested to look at them. All sorts of things can make the sam_cab and sam_chassis unhappy.

 

Thanks Animosus. I emailed my light guy in town and he sent me this if it's any interest to anyone. If so I can get you his contact info. Would be even cheaper for anyone in the U.S. because these are Canadian prices and our dollar is way down right now. I'm not trying to sell anything, so hopefully the moderators don't mind me posting this. But shows you have options no matter where you get them.

Definitely can help him out if he wants best bang for the buck first option would be called HOD. They are OEM looking bulbs but build much better with different filament and gas to give a whiter light compared to halogen. Typically I stock 100w bulbs and are always in stock for about 90% of the bulb models. Depending on model $14 to $17 per bulb and are better than the department store style Sylvania or GE bulbs. Another option is a product I get from Germany called Flosser. Same idea looking like an OEM bulb but built much better and they come from 8w to 145w. They were designed for off road vehicles which works great for transports. Pricing is around $26 to $33 per bulb based on model number. They need to be ordered but only takes 3-4 days!


Next step up is HID which is a plug and play option for those bulbs. No cutting or wiring is needed they are single beam bulbs. All that is required is mounting the ballast which is just a screw to a fixed surface and done. Those kits are stocked 55w 6000K and if he wants I'll help him out on the price I have some general quality kits here for $50/kit or high quality $78/kit


Next step is the best option for a trucker if he owns the rig. I carry high quality 80w LED headlight kits that are very bright and basically will never burn up because they have a minimum 30 000 hour life span. They are the ones Tom has and was amazed how good he can see compared to regular bulbs. For the rig owners it is the best bet because they are 100% true plug and play with no mounting anything and never have any down time later on like halogen or HID if something burns out. Install once and forget about them for ever! This is where they actually are cheaper based on a long term investment. typically his model is $130 but I will go $110/kit.


Hopefully this helps your buddy out and if he has any questions give him my contact information. I should have everything here he needs no matter what bulb model.
