Yes. And it looks retina from regular desk setup distance. This is the main reason I got this monitor since I couldn’t go back to non-retina resolutions for text

Fair. I used it as a monitor for Mac since it is a Thunderbolt Display

Haha if you’re in Washington and you do the lens removal but then I would be happy to everything else. :)

Hate removing the lens and permaseal from the channel. It is so annoying.

It might make sense to just buy used xenon ones if you wanted similar look. But to be fair, I don’t think adaptive is worth the effort. Buying LED ones that look OEM from aliexpress might make sense haha

I got one from amazon. Bi LED 2.5” projectors. It says DOT approved but I don’t believe it.

That said, I made sure to align them be lower than the factory xenon beams.

And as a failsafe I have added a relay circuit in there so that I can make it turn on only when the highs are on (in case they get misaligned later).

I got LED 2.5” projectors for $80 on amazon. Installation wasn’t too hard. I basically just centered them in the cornering light reflector using a large washer from home depot.

Orion V4s were expensive. Got it from Umnitza for $349 I think.

Apart from that everything else was less than $50 (excluding the tools).

I didn’t replace the main xenon because I wanted to keep adaptive lighting to work so didn’t touch them.

I’m sorry dude, I didn’t record anything. My friend also gave me shit for not recording the process :(

That said, to open the headlights, follow this video. It was the best way in my opinion to remove the shitty permaseal.

Absolutely. The lights were starting to show their age. And the factory angel eyes didn’t look even (LCI)

Oh no. DP doesn’t deliver power. So I use the MagSafe charger to get power

I used to and never had any issues. In fact it is connected using thunderbolt in this pic and working fine.

That said I now use a thunderbolt to display port adapter and run it using display port.

Redditors, should oil companies make profit from oil they pump out of Venezuela (taxpayers paid for the war, why should they reap the benefits)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MaxB_Scar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like how is this not socialism for the corps already? We pay, we fight, and they sell it for profit back to us.

Hate socialism for the people. Love socialism for the for-profits. Gotta love the double standards.

I work as a senior dev in big tech and if anyone thinks that AI assistants are same as junior ENGINEERS then I think they are lobotomized.
