I now have both 30 and 50-amp Hughes Autoformers in my lab.

Still no idea what a paid subscription advantage is? "Full experience" text leaves a bit to be desired?

Well, I decided a long time ago that I wasn’t going to run an ad-embedded website, and I didn’t want to withhold important safety information from those who can’t afford a paid subscription. So paid subscribers here are those who can afford $5 per month or $50 per year which supports my daily newsletter and some seminar training. There’s currently over 12,500 free subscribers with 260 paid subscribers, which is around 2% paid and 98% free.

Sadly, I get zero support from the RV manufacturers, but there’s a lot of RV Rallies and shows that want me to fly or drive across the country to teach seminars, all on my own nickel. I do what I can, but flying and driving thousands of miles is expensive.

Note that most RV shops charge $150 per hour, so a yearly paid subscription to RVelectricity is the equivalent cost of 20 minutes of dealership technician time.

Another factor to consider in older drivers is the effect of cataracts. The optical characteristics of the lens in the eye change as we age. The nature of the changes differ somewhat person to person but increased scattering and / or cloudiness is frequently described. Brighter light will cause more scattered light so even if a bright headlamp is properly aimed and the light is properly distributed it still might be blinding to older drivers. Try an experiment that tests for blinding with one of your kids and compare it to yourself.

Hi Mike, My experience has been with Marsauto 9005/HB3 9006/HB4 LED bulbs, which I installed on my 1994 Ford E-150 camper van. I chose these after studying several reviews, and because I was satisfied that I would receive good support if it was needed. The installation was quick and easy, and the results were astounding. Brighter, better color for visibility, and no one has been blinking their headlights at me because I was blinding them. (the true test!!)

A few comments, though. No replacement bulbs of any type will overcome badly discolored or abraded lenses. Polish them, or replace them. Also, either re-aim your headlights, or have a shop do it for you. Newly installed bulbs may not "aim" in the same location as your old bulbs, or you may jostle them in the installation.

Mike, I have one request about the light upgrade. I know you feel that blinding lights are most likely improperly aimed, but I am not so sure. I am significantly bothered by bright lights, not only in oncoming cars, but also trucks and SUVs that come up behind.

Even in the ad picture in the last article, the brighter light appears to be in the oncoming lane too.

So here is my request: please measure the light in the oncoming lane not just as a factor of the new light (ex: see, our beam pattern makes the light in the oncoming lane only 50% of the light in your lane) but also a measure of the light intensity of the oncoming lane with the original lights.

If the new light is 400% brighter, 50% of that would still be 200% of the old lights and perhaps blinding to oncoming drivers. (Numbers purely for example.)

Thank you.

That’s my plan. I’ll not only measure color temp, I’ll measure lumens across the width and height of the beam pattern. This is getting interesting!

Concerning LED headlights on European cars that have the software downgraded for sale here. Similar software to what I have used to change various modules in my F-350.
