    Default BUZZHIDLIGHTS

    Skiffer, I see we have a new sponsor. Tell us about this company and are they going to offer a POG discount?? Looks like a nice upgrade.

    Also, when did Motorhome Specialist come on board? We bought a coach from them years ago and they were great to deal with.

    Ted,

    Buzzhidlights is Bob and Marlys Ims (I think I am spelling it correctly) from Minnesota. They were at the rally. He had a display set up at his site at OKC on the east side of the park. It was a condensed mock up of a vary narrow Prevost front end with a stock and HID headlight. Pretty amazing difference between the stock headlight and his HID version. A pretty inexpensive solution compared to other costs that I have seen. I tried to get Bob to buy the Viking helmets at the auction given his predisposition as a Vikings fan. Unfortunately for Bob (or maybe fortunately), the Trouts from Houston were the proud winning bidders.

    Ted,

    Back on the ground in Boston. Thanks for all your help and bidding high at the auction.

    Buzzhidlights as Loc explained is a new sponsor and has created a nice kit for Prevost owners to improve their headlights. We will be doing a story in the near future on P-stuff to explain and promote Bob's product.

    The Motor Home Specialists have come onboard as a sponsor as they have found success on P-stuff selling coaches and have some nice ones coming up soon.

    They will also be utilizing www.bus-stuff.com to help sell non-Prevost Luxury RVs.

    POG is growing and we are getting recognized out there!

    Ted on a final note. Sorry you weren't able to outbid Loc on the Fart Machine, I know you were disappointed.

    Jim

    Spoke with Bob this morning and am going to order a set. Trip home from College Station Sat night in the rain and fog with the lameass Prevost headlights was incentive enough.

    Will post a review once installed.

    Default HID Lights

    I for one anxiously await your review and comments as I am of the same opinion of the Prevost Headlights.

    I did change my bulbs to silverstar which helped.

    My cars have the HID lights which are excellent at night, the bus needs an improvement.

    I don't think my age has anything to do with it.

    Roger, I tried the Silverstar's and didn't like the blueish tint and short lifespan of that bulb. I am now using GE Nighthawk bulb, about the same price but what an improvement compared to the Sylvania bulb. Were you using the Silverstar Ultra?

    Agree completely - after driving my Audi it feels like I am navigating the bus by candle light.

    This is not in keeping with attempts to use the latest technology, but my 87 had the quad sealed beam headlights which were later replaced with the Ford plastic ones on Rivet coaches. Everybody was in a mad rush to update the front of their bus to the new style headlights when the big single lights came out in 92 or thereabouts.

    Within a short period of time the folks that made the change were complaining about how bad the new style lights were.

    I wish I had those quad headlights now. On low beams they were good, but on high beams it was like daylight. If I could get the Liberty light surround castings and new sheet metal I would seriously consider going retro.

    We try very hard to plan our trips so there is NO NIGHT driving. The first day we had our bus we had to drive 30 miles after dark. What a deal that was. Only one other time. It might be best for me if I had no headlights. Great to be retired.
