That's what I like about power mirrors, just a little adjusting and there, now the twit behind you can see himself in your mirror.

I wonder how many of you carry a long TORX driver and adjust your headlights to compensate for the light pattern with or without the TC.


I use my airbags to level the truck so I don't have to adjust the headlights.

For those interested in installing "Brite Boxes", be careful, there have been a number of them that have gone "up in smoke", I found this on one of the dodge truck sites.


Hmmm ... that doesn't sound good. I am a member of DodgeTalk.com and I will check there, however, if that was not the Dodge forum you were thinking of, can you let me know which board it was so I can do some searching for this information?

Thanks,
Don

First test with just one side hooked up indicates the nights of being near blind on mountain roads are a thing of the past.

What kind of thinking delets up/down adjustment?


The thinking where they are trying to outsmart the idiots that go down the highway with the headlights pointed at oncoming traffic.

I did a pretty exhaustive search on Turbo Diesel Register, dodgeforum, thedieselstop, and DodgeTalk for posts on problems with Brite Boxes, and I only found one post on TDR that mentioned any issues, and the OP essentially pulled his initial post since he apparently did not have the right box for his application, and that Innova had solved his issues by providing him with the correct parts.

I have also posted on DodgeTalk to see if anyone with a Dodge Ram using Brite Boxes has had any problems with them shorting-out or otherwise malfunctioning.

If I don't hear anything negative from that (or unless Fisherman or someone else can point me towards negative reports/posts on Brite Boxes in Dodges), I will likely go ahead and purchase a kit for my '07 3500.

Don, while there was an improvement for me with a Brite Box, I was never very impressed with it. I ran it for about four years till I bit the bullet on HID.

On my Chev, I was able to buy a system that turns on all four head light at the same time. I don't know if it is available for Dodges or not. It is a very simple installation cost about $40 bucks.
I installed the brightbox a while ago. It's really nice when you have the high beams on. When it's not they are dim. The brightbox that went up in smoke didn't have normal bulbs installed. The manual that came with the bright box specifically states do not install the brighter replacements. I've even had a fellow coworker tell me that he knew when I was behind him because my lights are yellower than everyone elses. I've been meaning to remove the bright box and see if it makes any difference with the low beam only light. I've never been pleased with the low beam lights on my Ford. Dave.
