Hi Dave,
The standard dual headlamp for the 940 is 65/40 watts.
If the lamp connectors get corrosion then you have troubles.
You can use Penetrox or careful application of conductive anti seize nickel or copper.
Yes, The reflector and especially the glass lens is different in the E-code
so results may vary some with the DOT setup. I do feel that the DOT setups can all benefit from an upgrade from crappy halogens.
I looked just now on Amazon and things have changed a lot in the past few weeks.
I don't see the 2022 Hikari listed which is a very nice package, but there's a new listing for a 2025 Hikari that looks good and is priced reasonably.
I never took the Luxster on the road, since it had such a flop of a low beam.
way less light and a lousy pattern and using over 400% more power.
I sent it back, since I use the low beams for DRL.
Don't be obsessed with blinding oncoming motorists: The Hikari has a sharp
upper cutoff and a tight pattern both high and low. The Luxster High beam patter was just fine. Then make sure you adjust the headlights right.
>d) And finally, holy shzt, those bulbs must be bright enough to do a finger >puppet show on the surface of the moon. In our old age, your cataracts can get >as thick as they want and you'll still be able to see. :)) The Luxster Punisher >9003s are rated at 20,000 lumens (40,000 lumens per pair is how they're >typically advertised). That's double the brightness of many LED headlights >(such as the Auxito 9004s I'm using) and almost SEVEN/u> times the 3,000 lumen >maximum brightness allowed by DOT in a halogen reflector.
You're laboring under the false idea that the merchants specs mean much.
I saw two ads today for 10000 Watt 1000000 lumen LEDs!
A 100 Amp alternator delivers 1400 watts, so you would need 715 100 watt alternators to keep your battery from discharging... I don't think they fit!
Yikes! If they do Colonoscopys on those salesmen, the doctors will find their heads.
There some good packages to use and the prices are dropping fast.
In fact the Luxster punisher dropped $25 since two weeks ago when I bought it.
Hikari's new offering looks good, a 45 watt set for relatively short money.
That would be a good one for Machine man and others to take the plunge and be able to see better at night and in rain and snow. It features a new high effiency LED chip. Hikari has an upgrade plan for their customers a year after you buy. I got these last October so I'll be curious what if anything they offer, and find out soon.
Which exact Auxito headlight do you have, there's so many. Please send a link.
