Taylor Cable 48100 Aluminum Battery Box and Hold Down Component

Taylor Cable 48100 Aluminum Battery Box and Hold Down ComponentThe battery box is very good. The quality is top notch and the install was quite smooth. I would most certainly purchase one again.

If I had to pick out cons, they would be as follows:

* Thicker gauge aluminum would be cool. Not necessary but I wouldn't mind it.

* The battery hold down could stand to be a little wider only because my battery needed a bit of convincing to get in on there.

Overall I am very pleased with the box and it is working out great in my project car.

HELLA 5750941 500FF Series 12-Volt/55-Watt Halogen Driving Lamp Kit (Fun Cubed)

HELLA 5750941 500FF Series 12-Volt/55-Watt Halogen Driving Lamp KitI installed these lights on a Saab 900SE next to a set of KC Pencil Beam driving lights. While they are not the quality of the KC lights, they are nevertheless reasonable quality and VERY good value for the money.

Install was typical no easier or harder than installing any other brand.

Light output with 55 watt bulbs is EXCELLENT with a TIGHT, LONG RANGE BEAM. Not quite as focused as the KCs but there isn't much in it -and the light output seems as bright as the KCs with 100 watt bulbs.

Because the housing is plastic I have not run the Hella's with 100 watt or 130 watt bulbs, I may give it a try during the winter.

For me the wiring harness was a little light -especially since I commonly use 100 watts bulbs, but so long as you use a relay to switch the lights and keep the runs short it will be more than adequate but I'm an "overkill" type when it comes to wiring so I replaced the harnesses with #12 Tefzel (aircraft) wire for each light and everything is relay switched with very short cable runs.

I would certainly buy them again and will probably replace the KCs with the Hellas next time a rock takes them out. The Hella kit with two lights cost less than one replacement lens for the KC

Summary Excellent lighting, fair quality construction, great value for money.

I bought these to replace the factory fog lamps on my wifes 2004 Subaru Forester, which were trashed from 130K of hard use. Had to do some "creative engineering" to get them to fit into the holes in the front bumper but they came out great! The wiring instructions are a little bit hard to follow and mt lights didn't include them in the package (downloaded the PDF ) Once I puzzled them out the wiring harness is well thought out and made installing the light pretty bomb-proof. I highly recommend these for daily, on-road use.

Ok, the 500FF driving lights are a good design in how it projects the light in front of the vehicle. I have been driving with Hellas in both my cars and 4x4s since 1985. They make damn good driving lights both on and off-road. I say that the 500s in stock form do a nice job in the city. However, if you do any off-roading and these are the only auxilary lights you have then I would recommend upgrading the bulbs to a 100W or 130W. Of course the modification will make them unusable in city driving.

Personally I have adopted these as fog lights with crystal ion fog bulbs from PIAA. The PIAA bulbs and Hella 500s are a perfect match and work great in snow and dense fog. I don't like the conventional fog lights because the light pattern spreads too much light above the hood which is not needed.

I have a FJ Cruiser with a grill guard where these puppies are mounted on the lower crossmember close to the ground. This is the best place for them. However, the pair of 500s are not enough to illuminate the back roads of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I drive at night. If you want to get excellent illumination I HIGHLY recommend the Hella Rallye 4000s with the Hella 130W optional bulbs. I have these mounted above the 500s on the top crossmember of the brush guard (same height as the factory headlights) . When you turn the 4000s on at night I will guarantee you that you will see EVERYTHING in front of the vehicle to 1/2 mile!

I recently installed these on the grill guard on my '99 Suburban, and they are awesome. This mounting puts them a bit above the bumper and in the center of the truck, right in front of the grill. From this vantage point, they have a great beam pattern, with a very long tube of light that extends a long way down the road, which still having a good sturdy mount with an unobstructed view of the road, while still being somewhat protected by the grill guard assembly. They throw light a very long distance and wide enough to cover the road "down range", which is exactly what driving lights are supposed to do.

Take the time to adjust the aim properly and make sure you have a sturdy mount. Any shaking is very apparent when the light is illuminating the road 1/2+ mile away. As for aim, when using driving lights, the goal is to get the light down-range and not right in front of you. Your eyes will adjust so you can see items further out, and any bright spots on the pavement right in front of you will can become very distracting and hinder your long-range visibility. Some folks perceive this as the area immediately in front of the vehicle as being "too dark" and try to aim the lamps lower to compensate. Don't do this. Get the adjustment right so that light goes down range without illuminating the sky instead of the road. These lights are supposed to be used when you are on high beams, not for normal around town driving, so adjust them as such. I have these wired to come on with my high beams, and they work great that way. It does however, mean that the person who cuts me off and get high-beamed is in for a shock I might give the back of their head a suntan. :-)

Be prepared for any reflective signage to be very bright when these lights are on, especially signs that are normally out of the range of your normal headlights. These lights are bright enough to really catch the reflective coatings on road signs and the signs will at first appear unnaturally bright. This is goodness because it lets you see signs very far in advance of what you normally can, but depending on the roads you drive and your specific vehicle mounting, there may be a few signs you find that are capable of reflecting a lot of light back at you, especially the yellow diamond signs found on lots of secondary roads. This is nothing wrong with the driving lights, just something I was not quite prepared for when upgrading the very low-output factory lighting on my '99 Suburban...

I used my own custom switch, relay, and wiring setup, so I can't comment on the wiring kit that comes with these lights. It looks like a reasonable wiring setup and has good instructions if you are used to doing any wiring. I just wanted a more custom install on my rig with switches that were better integrated into my dashboard and to use a custom wiring harness to drive all of my improved lighting (fog lights, driving lights, relay kit on factory headlamps, and extra back-up lights) without having a mess of wiring all over the place. For just adding one set of lights, the wiring kit that comes with these lights should be just fine.

With the stock 55W bulb, the light is a bit dim, however they are cheap, seem well constructed and serve their purpose. Im planning in changing the bulbs to 100W, i've seen some and are way brighter.

WirthCo 20138 Knife Switch for Top Post Battery

WirthCo 20138 Knife Switch for Top Post BatteryI just installed one of these on my 2008 Hyundai Sonata. It fits fine under the hood. The 20138 is rated for 250 amps continuous and 750 amps surge at 12 volts.

The only thing keeping me from giving it a full 5 stars is that the clamp was a bit tough to deal with. I could not get the clamp sufficiently far down on the negative terminal of my battery until I opened the clamp wider using two pairs of pliers.

Then, after tightening the clamp, I decided to reorient it. I found the clamp has no "springiness" to it, meaning after it was loosened, I had to open up the clamp a bit using a flat-head screwdriver before it would turn easily enough.

The clamp of the 20138 is made of brass (according to a WirthCo representative I asked). Brass is harder than lead, which is what the negative terminal of batteries is made of. So, expect the clamp to dig into your negative battery post somewhat.

No washer is supplied with the 20138 for use with the clamp bolt. This is not a big deal, but I supplied my own, as I prefer doing things that way.

Aside from that, it's great having this switch installed. Whenever I need to do electrical work on the car, disconnecting the battery couldn't be easier.

I saw this at my local RV repair shop for $ plus they wanted $25 bucks to install it. I found it here for about $24 and now it has been even lowered to $21. Easy 10 min. installation. and saves time disconnecting your battery when pulling a vehicle behind your RV.

I searched all the auto parts stores around where I live in San Diego and all they had to offer in the way of an electrical current "on-off" switch was the type with a green plastic knob. Having had these before and inevitably enduring their failure, I was determined to buy a switch that has more to offer than the green plastic knob. I found it at (where else?) Amazon.com of course! This knife switch has a visual confirmation that the current is either "on" or "off". When the green plastic knob type fails there is no visual clue so you have to go through a sequence of disconnecting electrical connections and eliminating possible culprits. A real pain in the you-know-what. If you are in need of this type of switch, do yourself a big favor. Pay a little more and get a LOT more...performance. Four instead of five stars is because it could be made even stronger without much more cost. More than adequate as it is though.

Neikaro 20 Foot, 4 Guage, Heavy Duty, Car and Truck Jumper CablesCables work good. Good product. Only issue is with trying to get it back into the carrying case. I broke the zipper after the first few uses. If you are not so worried about the carrying case, these are a heavy duty cable with a pretty decent clamp for the price.

I haven't used these yet (and don't look forward to doing so), but these are HEAVY DUTY and I am happy to have them in my trunk.

Wagan 2017 Solar Powered Battery Charger

Wagan 2017 Solar Powered Battery ChargerI use this charger on my 12 year-old VW that has developed a slow drain on the battery. The battery would die if I didn't run the car every day. The charger works, even in the winter in Maine. Some other reviewers damned the device because it didn't work for applications for which is wasn't intended. It's not a whole-house power generator. It's a trickle charger; for that purpose it works beautifully.

Amazon should change the title of this product to a trickle charger. This solar panel will not charge a dead battery, not even close. This product will keep your battery "topped off" if you are going to leave it sitting for a long time.

This product would be good for someone leaving their car at the airport during a long vacation or a spare car that sits outside all day that is driven every once in a while.

Buy Wagan 2017 Solar Powered Battery Charger Now

Was having trouble with my Ford F250 battery being dead after it was left sitting for a couple months. There is some slight computer draw or the like in the system that eventually runs it down. This is just whats needed to keep the battery topped off. The review is simply.... It works or did for a while! Well after a couple months it WASN'T working. Took it apart and found out a soldered wire had come apart. So I resoldered it and wallah it's been working since. So if your stops working take it apart...and see if everything is hooked up before you trash it. If you find nothing to fix ...get out the hammer and beat the crap out of it...!!

A warning to those looking to purchase this. The odds are that simply plugging this into your cigarette lighter WILL NOT WORK. This is not so much a problem with this device, but rather what they do not tell you.

In order for this to work, you need to have a cigarette lighter that is still connected to the battery WHEN THE CAR IS OFF! If you only have a cigarette ligher that works when the car is running or if the key is in the auxiliary position, this device WILL NOT keep your batter maintained unless you leave the ignition in the auxiliary position which also means you are leaving your keys in the car and also potentially leaving on other power consuming components that come on when the ignition is in auxiliary mode. In my case, the dash clock stays on when in aux mode.

There is a solution. You need to bypass the cigarette lighter and go right to the battery. To do this, you can buy one of these: Roadpro 12V Battery Clip-On and Cigarette Lighter Adapter

This may actually be included in the bundled products you see to buy with this solar system. If you want to keep the solar panel inside the car, then you will likely need an extension cord to get the cigarette lighter into the cab of your car. Just keep all this in mind. For most folks, just buying the solar charger is NOT going to solve your problem.

Want Wagan 2017 Solar Powered Battery Charger Discount?

Seems well made and does supply some juice. Very little. A tiny trickle to keep a decent battery in a parked car from dying. Make sure it's pointed as directly at the sun at midday as possible.

It is in two parts, the panel and a voltage regulator. You could hook the panel directly to your battery and get a little more juice out of it since the regulator wastes some. But warning, a direct link might let it act as a drain at night, haven't tested it.

Clarion EZ58TMCPK Bluetooth Interface with NAVRDS

Clarion EZ58TMCPK Bluetooth Interface with NAVRDS
  • Easy-to-use navigation unit with 4.3" TFT Touch Screen display and rechargeable battery
  • Simple destination input, turn-by-turn voice prompts, text-to-speech operation and selectable route guidance with 12 million Points of Interest preloaded
  • Built-in Bluetooth Hands-free (HFP) and Audio Streaming (A2DP & AVRCP) support
  • Play back MP3/WMA files and view JPEG/BMP images from SD/MMC cards up to 4GB
  • One-year limited warranty

I picked up one of these EZD580s about a week ago. In the box are the unit, car-mounting hardware, a USB-to-mini USB cable and some instructions sheets. I would think that it will be great and A-OK because it seems to work well. It came out of the box with the battery at 81% charged. But this is where I get stuck. It comes with a directions sheet for mounting the unit in your car, and a Quick Start guide for routing and street directions. But nothing in any of the included reference material tells one how long to charge, or recharge, the battery, or if there is an AC Charger available for this unit. I konw that the USB-to-mini USB cable is for charging the unit on your computer, but how long do you charge it? On the Clarion website, there is a "Product Manual" available for download. I downloaded and printed the "Product Manual" and guess what in the entire 71 pages, there is not one word regarding the charging and recharging of the battery, and also nothing about an AC Cahrger. The Product Manual does go into precise detail on how to select route guidance and street directions, the device's settings, etc. But nothing on step number 1 charging the battery! The battery charging issue aside, though, this is a real good unit. It has a big screen with easy to read text and numbers. You can use the included stylus or use your fingers to access the various menu items. When I initially turned it on, it took about a minute or two (which is normal for GPS devices) to locate the GPS signal. Once it locked in on the signal, it was easy rollin'. Entering your destinations, referencing the Points Of Interest, etc., are fairly intuitive, making this GPS unit fairly easy to use without getting an advanced scientific degree. On the negative side, support from Clarion is absolutely NON-EXISTANT. Calling the telephone numbers on the Clarion website results in a literal circle of recorded messages.

good piece. money was ok, harder to use compared to a garmin. and later on, it broke. it would freeze, then finally stopped turning on. when it did work, it was ok. i had this unit replaced once already from clarion itself. buy a garmin.

Read Best Reviews of Clarion EZ58TMCPK Bluetooth Interface with NAVRDS Here

FYI, I operated this unit in Seattle, Washington and some in L.A.

Well I decided to be nice and give this unit a review of 2 Stars (I don't like it) when I was tempted to give it a 1 Star (I hate it) due to it's complete uselessness after about a month. After a while, this unit proved itself to be a lemon and completely worthless for getting anywhere (detailed explanation below). It worked fine for a month and I was excited that I had gotten a winning product.

Then the "out of memory" errors started. After about the first 2 maybe 3 of these errors, I thought it would just go away or just be a small nuisance. I was dead wrong.

OUT OF MEMORY

It got so bad in the weeks following that first month that it would freeze up and display critical "out of memory" errors every 30 seconds to 2 minutes while I was on a route. What's worse is it would slow WAY down before the error happened so I had to wait until the error happened before it would reboot itself so I could use the 20 or so seconds of directions before it slowed WAY down again until the imminent "out of memory" error reoccurred. Also, I needn't fail to mention that the reboot took a solid 2 minutes before I could get my directions back again.

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY DRAWBACKS

Besides the short battery life mentioned above and the maps being incomplete (both mentioned above in "Cons" section), another frustration with this unit is that it doesn't support SD cards larger than 4GB? Are you serious, Clarion? Did you design this unit to be used 9 years ago (when SD cards were invented, in 2001)?

What's worse about the memory situation is that, according to a rep at Clarion, the unit doesn't even store maps and other important and functional history on a SD card; it uses the memory that came with the unit which is 2GB. I have to visit clients all over the Seattle area and revisit them, so it would be nice to have a nice long history of all the places I've been without worrying about using up the 2GB.

Oh, by the way, before I even called Clarion I thoroughly went through every function and feature in the settings of the unit to figure out if the "out of memory" was warranted or maybe something I could adjust; and I tried resetting the device along with CLEARING THE MEMORY and of course nothing solved it.

So, buying a SD card (not much of an upgrade though being you can only add 4GB to 2GB) only makes it so you can put pictures and music on your GPS device. It would be much better to be able to use the SD card to store all the other critical mapping things since this is, after all, a GPS unit first and a multimedia player second.

CONCLUSION AND FURTHER NOTES ABOUT CLARION'S AFTER SALE SUPPORT

I didn't even delve into the super short battery life of 15-30 minutes (note also that this battery is only a few months old with minimal use) or talk much about the maps not having updated information. I will add, however, that it was on multiple occasions and not just an isolated experience or two that I got those messages about not finding an address or street (even though in most cases the streets and addresses had been in existence for more than 3 years). I even contacted TeleAtlas, the mapping software company who sold Clarion the software for this unit, and they will not produce updates for this unit. Everyone who buys this unit is apparently stuck with outdated maps indefinitely, and thus plumb out of luck.

Needless to say, I will be buying a unit with NAVTEQ mapping software (which provides free updates for life for many of the GPS units they are on) and will only recommend a unit with TeleAtlas maps if they ever decide to be more helpful to their paying customers.

So, I'm currently waiting through my second 2-week time-frame for my unit to be "fixed" by Clarion. The first time I sent it back I had high hopes that it would come back and work. Again, I was dead wrong. Not only did they not address the other issues I told them about; they didn't even fix the main "out of memory" issue that had rendered this unit usable. This 2nd time, I pleaded with the Clarion rep to replace this obvious lemon with a working unit and he insisted on doing it "by the book" and said that I would be getting the same unit back after they try to "fix" it again.

I can't risk going through yet another 2 weeks without the use of my GPS unit (since I use it everyday for my business), so I officially give up on Clarion and I'm getting a NAVTEQ unit, probably the Garmin Nuvi 265WT if it doesn't do the shutting down thing during inclement weather some people have had issues with. I can't in good conscience resell a lemon on eBay, so I'll probably just trash the Clarion and cut my losses.

Don't necessarily decide not to buy the Clarion EZD580 based on my experiences since it's possible that you could get a unit that doesn't go "out of memory" on ya and works fine for years. You could also have the same experience I did. Kind of a toss up.

STICK-ON SPOT CLOCK -- BLACK

STICK-ON SPOT CLOCK -- BLACKThe adhesive came apart within a couple of months. On the upside, it does keep time, and was certainly cheap enough.

I have looked for these for a while before it dawned on me to check for them on Amazon. I use them on the dash of my lawn mowers, a great way to keep up with the time without stopping to pull up bulky sleeves to see a watch or pull out a cell phone. The clock comes with velcro adhered to the back for mounting, about 1/2 x 1/2 in. I opted to pull this off and go for a piece that covers the entire back just to make sure the vibration didn't shake it loose. The clock comes with a pull tab that is removed to power up the unit giving you the confidence of a fresh battery.

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty 12-Volt Tire Inflator

Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty 12-Volt Tire InflatorI'm writing this review because the Amazon description doesn't inform you that you NEED 15 amps to power the device as clearly stated in the owner's manual. Unfortunately, I didn't know this before purchase so when I plugged it into my Honda Pilot which only supplies 10 amps, it didn't work. I called Slime customer service who confirmed that all their products require 15 amps.

Check your car owner's manual to make sure your power socket supplies 15 amps!

I'm giving it 5 stars because the device itself looks very high quality with a nice storage case. Slime customer service was also speedy and helpful. Too bad the Amazon item description was inadequate.

UPDATE: I have since bought the Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator which works great with my car.

Great carry case, well made, very fast tire inflation, a good buy. Works well on larger SUV type tires. Not a cheesy, cheap compressor.

Buy Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty 12-Volt Tire Inflator Now

This pump is far and away superior to a cheaper unit I had been using. I like the coiled air hose and its screw-on connector to the tires and its quick-disconnect connector to the pump. Also, the pump-mounted switches are more substantial than the switch on my old pump, which was on the power cord and had to be replaced. As noted by others, the fabric carrying case does fit the unit snugly, but I've had no difficulty removing or replacing the pump or air hose in the case.

Read Best Reviews of Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty 12-Volt Tire Inflator Here

The Slime tire inflator is exactly what I wanted. I was seeking durability, portability and affordability. I got all three. The inflator is built much better than most tire inflators in the same price range. It is very portable, even including a handy case so it can be stowed neatly in the trunk. For me, the price was right as well.

I added five pounds pressure to each of my Toyota Corolla tires after receiving the unit. Within two to three minutes the additional pressure was reached. Inflating a flat tire may take up to 10 minutes, but that time is much better than using a hand pump!

The Slime also includes additional attachments for basketballs, beach balls, and other inflatables. The tire attachment screws on the valve, which I much prefer over the common clip.

I recommend this product highly -I don't believe you'll be disappointed if you are seeking an affordable, portable tire inflator!

Want Slime COMP06 Pro Power Heavy-Duty 12-Volt Tire Inflator Discount?

This 'heavy duty' inflator failed after only a few uses. It was typically very slow to inflate my car's tires, but would eventually fill them to the required pressure. At one point, my tire was very low on pressure and the Slime inflator managed to bring it up to pressure after several minutes. After that, however, the unit no longer worked.

Also, for me, having the unit powered by the car's power socket, and not having a 110V alternative, was inconvenient.

I would not buy this unit again.

Morgan Cycle Morgan Pink Pegasus Trike

Morgan Cycle Morgan Pink Pegasus TrikeThis is the ULTIMATE tricycle! We bought two of these for our little girls and they are so fun and so eye-catching. There is a real head-light, which is fun for the girls. They weren't too bad to put together either. One thing that I like about these trikes is that they are VERY heavy, so the girls don't tip over on the when they turn sharply. These are the coolest trikes and I highly recommend them!

The Morgan Pink Pegasus Trike is beautiful, but very heavy for my 4 year old girl when she tries to climb small slopes at the park. Kids with lighter trikes pass her by all the time and I can see frustration on her face. Overall is a good looking trike, but I would purchase a lighter one. Kids love the speed, not the beauty.

20 Watt Silver Frame Mono-crystalline Solar Panel and battery Charger

20 Watt Silver Frame Mono-crystalline Solar Panel and battery ChargerThis panel appears to work as advertised. The frame is fairly rugged and has six holes drilled for mounting. Ratings stamped on back of unit are: Rated Power: 20W +/5%, Isc: 1.24 Amps, Vcc: 21.5V, Im: 1.15 A, Vm: 17.2V, Test Condition: AM1.5, 100mW/cm squared, 25 degrees Centigrade. Inside the junction box on the back, there is a diode in line with one conductor to prevent reverse current flow. The plastic corner protectors are a bit thin, and two of them were cracked when I received the unit, but this was not an important enough feature to me to cause me to return the unit. Would I buy more ? I intend to buy a second unit as soon as one is available.
