I'll ditto that.
Just going back to this, snow was pretty much gone by the end of the day. Problem is "they" got the damn salt trucks out again. Now I need to wait for some heavy rains to get rid of it before I can get the Mustang out again. I'll not drive it on salty roads, period.
Wow! Salt trucks for snow that was going to be around for less than 24hrs. Ouch. That sucks.
Although we got 6", the roads were warm enough that it didn't really stick, so a waste of time and money, but as I said before, "liability". Oh well, my new rear sway bar will be here in a day or two, so I'll have some work to do before I'll want to take it out to check out the handling and headlights!
Chris and others, if and when you decide to swap out old tech for new, take my advice and contact Bill at Hi-Po Parts, https://www.hipoparts.com and have him set you up with better LED's/ SMD's as well as get proper service. Bill is great to work with (assuming he is still in business after this Covid crap). Hope so anyway.
Living in AZ and refusing to take my car out on rainy days (we don't have many anyway) I didn't think of a moisture factor. Our typical humidity level is 7-14%. Even with rain in the state right now we are at 21%. LOL.
Gasket material, not sure, I may have. It may be ok as is, but as our humidity is usually closer to 70-80% in Summer, something to consider I think.
Please keep hijacking this thread. This is all great information and has changed my planned direction significantly!
If any moisture can get in, it would be around the edge of the black piece and the globe and there is no ledge or anything that an O ring could be used. I don't think it will be any problem. Not only that, but the hole in the bucket is too small for the seal provided, I may look at some other alternative, or not. AS far as the low beam cut-off, it only fits one way and as long as the globes are put in the car the right way up (reading the script), it should all be good. It's the relay harness that is the question. I don't want it visible if at all possible. To get the relays out of sight, I am going to have to lengthen or replace the power wire. It needs to be about 15-18" longer at a guess. I also would like to connect it to the Pos on the V/R, not the battery.
I think it will be fine as well. The clips on those Hella's keep the black piece super tight.
I'm in the process of "hiding" the relay in the exact same place. As said, I need to add to or change the power wire with a more suitable connector. I am going to use the Pos terminal on the Solenoid where the battery cable connects. I think I said voltage reg. before, my error. As for tape, the stuff I have was from NPD and is glossy, like electrical tape minus the sticky stuff. What you show, is good to.
