So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
And I can finally see clearly. Wow. You guys need to check your headlight fluids if they're getting low. What a difference! When was the last time you all changed your headlight fluid, guys? You prolly should check that.

Re: So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
On a related note.. I fairly often see people with their tail lights almost full of water, sloshing around. it's pretty cool. I'm thinking of a way to turn my tails into Lava lamps. Just oil, and slighty heavier oil; red, and dark red, with clear lenses.
Man, if I had the money, I'd have the AWESOMeIST showcar! Seriously. I'd make Lexan valve covers, wheels, body panels...
Chainmail seats... Cover the body in flocking for the ultimate flat black..
Oh, you don't even know!

I think I remember a post on these boards regarding an improved headlight fluid reservoir. I wonder if someone could dig it up. *passes*

Re: So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
Your confusing the headlight fluid with the blinker fluid. Totally different.
Although the higher viscosity Blue blinker fluid works well with the headlights and gives a subtle blue tint. I found this out by accident when filling my headlights one time.

Re: So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
wait, OK, which one has the reservoir? Is it the blinker fluid reservoir or the headlight fluid reservoir? As I understand it, there's only one fluid reservoir, I thought the reservoir was for the headlights, and you direct-inject the blinkers with blinker fluid?
Or do I have it backwards? I filled the reservoir... so did I do it backwards? It could be my mind playing tricks on me.
I am kinda excited... if that didn't fill the headlights, then... maybe when I do that, it'll even get brighter!

Re: So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
And also... I am looking for a fluid "stabilizer"
Kinda like oil and fuel stabilizer... something like acetone for your headlights... without it being acetone for your headlights.
Maybe a phosphorous type of stabalizer. Cuzz you know how light hits phosphors it all excites them and makes them go all bright and stuff? Yeah, or maybe, like a liquid crystal or something, so you can see all different colors while driving?

Re: So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
Nonono SuperK!
For rainbow colours while driving, you need Rainbow Paint. It has nothing to do with your fluid. You can pick it up at any department store, just ask near the automotive section. Once you have it, you put your light in the microwave for 5 minutes, and then remove the lense, and paint the reflective surfaces in the back of the housing.
All pretty!

Re: So I changed and topped off my headlight fluid
For disco balls, you need a fluid with a hig refractory index. This will give you the best spectrum separation. Motul makes one called "Refractomax" or maybe it's "Refractorama"...I can't remember for sure.
