Does any one else have the problem of having high beam being dim compared to low beam? Since my NORM circuit is out and being re-engineered I decided to spend...
Hi David; I just tested my Gizmo and it is hard to see the power difference between regular beam and high beam. What I did notice is that high beam has the...
I'm on flat ground and haven't taken the Gizmo out at night yet. Once, but it wasn't quite night, maybe just dusk. I'll have to flick the high-beam switch to...
I seem to recall Carl or someone saying that they thought the headlight was upside down too. It is, however, right side up. I pulled it out, lifted the velcro...
Our experience with installing the head lights is that the "high" beam is just aimed higher, and actually puts out almost the same wattage as the low beam. It...
This isn't velcro, but it's much higher grip strength, called 3M Dual Lock. Gracie's Stuff on eBay has the best prices, about a quarter per piece (perhaps more...
It was on Sylvania's website that I found the wattages. Even at close range against a wall where beam spread is minimal the high beam is significantly dimmer....

Hi Fred, The color of LED should match the lense color. Unlike an incadescent bulb, LEDs put out only one color (or just a very few colors like the white ones)...
Oh, I forgot to mention that I had to carve the bottom edge of the stop light reflector to accomodate the heat sink on the 3W Luxeon LED. Before I did the glue...
Hey Fred, I replaced my rear bulbs with red LEDs with no issues. I just removed the bulbs and looked at the light number. In the case of the rear brake and...
I've read about that sort of thing. The Gizmo I have (and many others, but not all?) have a "smart-blinker" circuit which is programmable/computer controlled...
... wrote: [snip] ... pull the ... [snip] Andy's point is valid. My Gizmo has a SmartBlink unit which blinks the brake light a few times before it is on steady...
The turn signal LEDs arrived today and I installed them forthwith. The amber is clearly visible through the lenses, with no problem at all. I got cheap ones...
... Look at http://2003gizmo.blogspot.com/ and click on the picture to enlarge it. The first two are with the 3W LED tail light. While the picture doesn't show...
I've been dragging my feet on changing out the taillight and brake light on number thirty, but finished part of the project today. My friend sells motorcycle...
Fred, Those look great. I would think that with those you won't have any legal issues with license plate lighting if you went with the LED brake & tail lights....
I have a reputation to uphold on the Xebra Yahoo group and the Gizmo makes it all the more easy to accomplish. Today's travels took me just about 13 miles,...
My SuperBrightLEDs arrived today, for the brake and taillight. I wanted bright, so I ordered a 5w luxeon for the brake light and a 3w for the taillight. Oh...
Hi Fred, Did the 3W LED's heat sink contact the brake light reflector? Mine did and it broke the glue which held the heat sink to the base. I haven't found a...
Hey Everyone, I was driving the Gizmo the other day and noticed that the left fender was touching the tire occasionally. I found this odd since this had never ...
When I pushed the bulb into the socket, it did make contact, but when I rotated and engaged the bayonet, it pulled away slightly. I'll have to examine it the...
Chris, can you get a photo or two either in the library here, or sent directly? I don't have any contact points, but I very much will examine that area you...
Sure thing Fred. Here is a link to the picture: http://picasaweb.google.com/cpavlas/Gizmo/photo#5232581512077516306 I got this fixed by a master welder, and he...
Great photo, Chris. I'll have to take a look at mine in that location when I drag it out of the garage and into the sun next time. I've not looked at the...
Hi Chris, That is too bad about the break & shock ring. On my Gizmo another triangular brace was added to the other side and it seems to be doing fine. Did you...
I just checked the vehicle, rather than wait to push it into the sun. My flashlight provided enough illumination :-) to learn that it has only the triangular...
Sure, here is a link to the new weld. http://picasaweb.google.com/cpavlas/Gizmo I cant put a new shock ring on because the shock is one piece welded, and there...
Fred, The picture Chris put up shows support similar to what I have on mine. It looks like the welder added something to the lower side too. I'd take a picture...
