I’ve never bled the brakes myself, the shop that changes the tires over seasonally does it for me. It’s fairly cheap since the car is already on the hoist with the wheels off. You can search for the factory service manual on mirageforum.com within it will be the bleed sequence.
14:41 I've seen this mechanism before! it's exactly how a lot of palm sanders work to hold the sandpaper in place. Gotta love simple engineering. Engineer: "how do we keep our headlights in the assemblies so they don't rattle out?" Other Engineer: *twists moustache* First Engineer: "That's Brilliant!"
Yes I also think its a great idea combining the retention and constant pressure of the bulb into a single metal wire, My only concern is that the LED bulbs weigh a lot more than their halogen counterparts due to the heat sync and the rubber boot behind the bulb being compressed by the heat sync(pulling the bulb away from the mount). if this spring fails, i looked on eBay, they do not appear to be universal in shape and the I don't believe dealership would sell me just the spring, i believe they sell the entire headlight as a single unit. This one tiny metal wire/spring could end up costing me/someone a lot of money one day. Thanks for watching, Its always nice to hear about other peoples perspective's on things.
@@welfarewagonrepairs I see. maybe tho it's not that likely the spring would fail? spring-tempered steel doesn't snap, it bends to a certain point, and then it "takes a set" if bent too far. So maybe it wouldn't be able to hold the weight over time, or maybe it would be okay? Do you notice it shake around a lot when you're driving, like the lights are moving in their sockets from bumping over potholes? If not, you're probably good. The yellow is easier on the eyes at night, but the blue looks more modern. I like them both.
@@KF1 I did check for play the other day, no issues yet, Ive only had the LEDs installed for a couple weeks so far so who knows what the future holds. The DRL flicker i demonstrate at the end of the video is my biggest gripe with the headlights. It's only noticeable when reflecting off a wall(in parking lots) or off a garage door. Makes me feel dumb spending all that money to have lights that flicker.
@@welfarewagonrepairs Maybe there's some kind of plug-in solution like a regulator to the wire. That flickering is also a problem on the new Ford Maverick. One guy found some that worked and they were the only ones. Can't remember the brand, though. My lights in my truck flicker cuz it's a GM product. ABS engaging will cause the headlights to, and other things. On my old F150, if you let the rpm go too low with the clutch they'd dim noticeably, like it was a star trek episode and had to draw all the available power.
@@KF1 it's possible but I'm not even sure if the LED bulbs are designed to be used as a DRL. As mentioned in the video, any type of plug in solution that would "fix" the DRL would also basically just keep the high beams on all the time which obviously isnt ideal.
Ive been using these lights for months now and just checked for you, no melting. im sure the rubber was designed with heat in mind as by design it would touch the old halogen bulb directly around the electrical connector. The old halogen bulb gets much hotter than this led bulb ever will as it uses something like 200%+ more power. Also the LED driver is separate from the bulb for the Philips model to reduce the amount of heat that the heat sync has to deal with. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video!
Yeah they do not appear to be brighter than the $50 sea light bulbs shown in the video at 13:40. Also the heat sync installed at 9:26 presses against the rubber dust boot. Im always thinking about how one day it is going to break the spring thats holding the bulb in place and bankrupt me as the spring is not sold by Mitsubishi the headlight assembly is sold as a single part. The Philips bulb also does not have a fan and the dust boot kills any hopes and dreams i had of airflow, after a short 10 minute drive with the high beams on the heat sync is too hot for me to hold onto. I imagine it probably dims when it heats up or is killing itself, either way not good. If I was to do this again id probably try and buy the hid bulbs from a junk yard, i'm sure the projector in that is better than this upgrade.
what a banger of a video, exemplary quality as usual
Do you know the sequence brake fluid bleeding on 2019 mirage g4? Can you make a video?

Very good
Thank you about that🔥
Does it not melt the rubber dust shield when the heat sink gets hot?

Dude. You spent $250 for headlights? Jesalou! They better be the cats meow. 😅

many thanks !!
but blue light looks terrible !!
The Philips bulbs are a lot more yellow than the blue sea light bulbs as you can see at 13:47
