i bought my LC already three month d..
run about 1100km d..^^
by the way bro..
where you come from?
i'm from penang..

Hi guys, I guess I'm one of the geeks here. Some of you are nice to call ppl like me 'sifu'. So, if you want me to shut up with all this gibberish, just let me know, ok? These are my hobbies - electrical, electronic, mechanical stuffs, and I'm here to share. Any questions, feel free to ask.
TryX: Are the bulbs separate power from headlamp or joined?If separate, easy. Few options: Install rectifier, rewire to DC source.
If joined, need re-wiring to isolate from headlamp and direct from DC source.
*DC source: Either tap from battery, or from one of the wires supplying DC to ignition switch. If LED still flickers, just manually solder a 25V-200uF capacitor across each the lamp sockets, should be 50cents each (Yes, use a 25V cap).
Maybe one of these days, I make mini boxes for you all to plug and play.

For HID kit, make sure headlamp wiring is done for DC source only. AC source will toast/burn the HID balast.
Xenon bulbs are the type use in HID kit, and do not have filaments and uses electrical arc to create light. Very efficient and white.
There are so-called Xenon bulbs which has filaments are actually Halogen bulbs. I think this type of label is misleading, and do not spend money into believing you are buying something different.
The reference for buying bulbs are: socket type (H4, H7 etc), power (Wattage), color temperature (6000K ~ 10000K from warm to cold).
For H4 bulbs, the natural color temp is 6000K ~ 7000K. To make it appear cold, there is usually a layer of blue filter on the bulbs.
In summary: to achieve 'whiteness' on halogen bulbs, efficiency is reduced, bulb gets hotter...
In short, a 55W blue bulb would look cool, but won't illuminate as well. A good thing to invest in is HID conversion.
Next topic: LED bulbsLED is nice and efficient, but are not always bright. The key to the brightness is power rating. Get those high-Lux LEDs, and high Wattage ones, at least 1W to 3W.
LED bulbs are not suitable for signal light, because the relay is not designed for low current... either your signal will not flicker, or flickers very fast. The solution is to either to install a parallel resistor or change to a suitable relay.

Haha, I know this... but you guys can read up diesel engine evolution elsewhere la, not gonna explain here.
Nowadays, diesel engine use spark plug like petrol engine, not too high temperature vs the old type, so the EO is similar to petrol EO.
In short, no harm using either one. diesel EO cleans better and suited more for high temp heavy duty use. Petrol EO good for lower temp use, including daily engine start protection.
Google up "Diesel Engine Oil API" and you can read more about it.
thx a lot for helping us..
mine is exactly like the 1.5W wan led as in the link wan..3 leds.. but i got charged 10bucks extra..zzz
