When it comes to advances in the world of headlights, you can’t really talk about the changes without Oracle Lighting being mentioned. The Louisiana based company have been making waves in the auto lighting world for quite some time now, but it’s fair to say that thy really caught the attention of a mass audience when they put their products on display at the 2012 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. There are all kinds of aftermarket auto parts on display during those events, but it was Oracle that many believe shone the brightest during the event.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ybXTVBbrfsU84r7o3i5WikU6M0IYmJmSWd4G7chENLNV7QZ_mKsdZmLSct-PxX9wogABTlH-RfTg08ihzkzxFGsi-EipxxehoaxCBGGr8M3DXf69C8UJF6KPwGifw8nqf__dsOlEBa0/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-The-Accomplishments-of-Oracle-Lighting-for-2012+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ybXTVBbrfsU84r7o3i5WikU6M0IYmJmSWd4G7chENLNV7QZ_mKsdZmLSct-PxX9wogABTlH-RfTg08ihzkzxFGsi-EipxxehoaxCBGGr8M3DXf69C8UJF6KPwGifw8nqf__dsOlEBa0/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-The-Accomplishments-of-Oracle-Lighting-for-2012+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>
While the 2012 SEMA show marked the third straight time that <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/oracle-lights-custom-lighting-halo-rings-headlights-fogs-taillights/">Oracle Lighting</a> had a display there, it was what they had to show off that caught the eye of so many. Their presentation booth was expanded to be biggest than ever before, and they brought not just one, but two custom builds to the show. The highlight may well have been the Polaris RZR, featuring halo lights that had never been seen before, as well as off-road head lights that were brighter than the sun. </p>
<p><iframe width="720" height="405" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/1qtFxTArwik?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>
While to Oracle lighting booth got a lot of attention at the show, the company was incredibly well represented at a number of other booths. Their projector headlights, halo, and other kits have been gathering steams for a while, featured as they were in a number of celebrity builds, but the Oracle Lighting name definitely too another big leap forward thanks to their products being highlighted in a number of other high profile displays.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_uHjJJR0eGWoGrZf1J2M8Zz4f3iNVoUcXereBGVoVa7bu5bA2ZUPBzdm2Nbou55WpVaWd_GYA5ie9utA88-_chTrRv9lXMitF6vivCLmkGur9R5VntXtcfY3SUWwjJJd5VwuhY5kLnSw/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-The-Accomplishments-of-Oracle-Lighting-for-2012+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_uHjJJR0eGWoGrZf1J2M8Zz4f3iNVoUcXereBGVoVa7bu5bA2ZUPBzdm2Nbou55WpVaWd_GYA5ie9utA88-_chTrRv9lXMitF6vivCLmkGur9R5VntXtcfY3SUWwjJJd5VwuhY5kLnSw/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-The-Accomplishments-of-Oracle-Lighting-for-2012+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>
One of the displays that grabbed a ton of attention was put together by Kia Motors. They brought a bunch of vehicles from their line-up, all of which had been given the superhero treatment. Among those was the Rio 5-door, which Kia had decided should be used to represent Aquaman. It was a stunning looking design, made all the more memorable by the use of <a href="http://shoppmlit.blogspot.com/2014/01/oracle-lighting-and-their-racing.html">Oracle LED accent lighting</a> to give the vehicle a look of real power. While many aspects of the car drew raves from the crowd in attendance, it was the lights that seemed to catch the eye of a large number of SEMA visitors.</p>

<p>
One thing that tends to make people take notice of an auto parts of lighting company is when they receive a celebrity endorsement. That holds even more water when the celebrity in question has ties to the automotive industry. It’s fair to say that NASCAR driver Tony Stewart would definitely fit that bill.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIOUJSOYEAbJw7LZ6vtp53juguj4BaI6Af88oub9algxG9ER8Jxn44oHmxOBUs6L_1HGfFdokbDUf6QB8xQHexrEQeCTs4Ld9yXShMFEVvvPz72s1iVdVD7aN_0JrfNB1sOkbYVnrfKUE/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-The-Accomplishments-of-Oracle-Lighting-for-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIOUJSOYEAbJw7LZ6vtp53juguj4BaI6Af88oub9algxG9ER8Jxn44oHmxOBUs6L_1HGfFdokbDUf6QB8xQHexrEQeCTs4Ld9yXShMFEVvvPz72s1iVdVD7aN_0JrfNB1sOkbYVnrfKUE/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-The-Accomplishments-of-Oracle-Lighting-for-2012.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>Chevy worked with Stewart to deliver an amazing looking ride that fit the personality of the driver. The red tribal designs definitely popped on the charcoal grey exterior paint, but it was the <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/chevrolet-accessories/camaro-lights">Chevy Camaro ZL1 lights</a> that were the highlight for many. The lights in question were red halo’s from Oracle Lighting, which once again proved that they were among the big movers and shakers at the 2012 SEMA Show.</p>

<p>It's okay to love your car! You took the time to select the perfect make and model to reflect your tastes, and you may have upgraded it with special car accessories like custom headlights and taillights to help it stand out in a crowd. You've invested time and money in your vehicle, so it's natural for you to want to keep it running smoothly for as long as possible. Many drivers don't realize that the way that they drive can impact the longevity of their vehicles by causing excessive wear and tear on their cars' automotive parts. By following these six tips, you can help to protect your car's auto parts and keep it on the road for as long as possible.</p>
<h2>Make fewer short trips.</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeiGvOSW66eTMXvZijG42WKkkynRkbUVZA2OELFEvjKNmoIPsw6zuXt2GQDfiNIPZnrOfm-DlEuq_YyaKPrsMgZ_h2RnpR03yfcGwlBgALgQygxrWPdvVXHewv0DP0uWLjJ3NlRKwHLhE/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeiGvOSW66eTMXvZijG42WKkkynRkbUVZA2OELFEvjKNmoIPsw6zuXt2GQDfiNIPZnrOfm-DlEuq_YyaKPrsMgZ_h2RnpR03yfcGwlBgALgQygxrWPdvVXHewv0DP0uWLjJ3NlRKwHLhE/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>1. Driving a car exclusively for very short trips is a surefire way to reduce its lifespan. During short trips, the oil in the engine does not become hot enough to turn moisture in the engine into steam. As a result, the oil gradually becomes thick like tar, which can cause damage to the engine. Be sure to take your car on the occasional long trip and consider using public transportation or car-pooling to reduce short trips. Changing the oil more often can also help to minimize the effects of short trip driving.</p>
<h2>Start and Stop Less.</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6R920tn-E_rwrGdIHZpXuQYBsJPCW3oQHso9q1l9a4nqaw6ZAyU2pWpfNAETPB83BN4ysHJ7JWnhiyUD-4qLjkK5xAPm9NIYZhh7tzg8eTbHV7pdd8nfG17BriZEHSqbUgzZQoAIAMcs/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25285%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6R920tn-E_rwrGdIHZpXuQYBsJPCW3oQHso9q1l9a4nqaw6ZAyU2pWpfNAETPB83BN4ysHJ7JWnhiyUD-4qLjkK5xAPm9NIYZhh7tzg8eTbHV7pdd8nfG17BriZEHSqbUgzZQoAIAMcs/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25285%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>2. Making many stops and starts when you're out and about can lead to wear and tear on the engine. When possible, plan to shop at malls and shopping centers where you can make a single stop to accomplish many different tasks or divide your errands between different trips to reduce starts and stops.</p>
<h2>Let Your Car Briefly Warm Up.</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitV72rJjDjQmCetb0NZffN8ImDC6dRovFf5MhSwjAT68hed8GuytJ0zmT8l9OSdfyGMb5os-EcpaufCCrUSqrD7EkzMToItBAkqEMMyhV3RNDuQ2v4sTmh4WikI9TWoZGO4wT3bsm8_Ds/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitV72rJjDjQmCetb0NZffN8ImDC6dRovFf5MhSwjAT68hed8GuytJ0zmT8l9OSdfyGMb5os-EcpaufCCrUSqrD7EkzMToItBAkqEMMyhV3RNDuQ2v4sTmh4WikI9TWoZGO4wT3bsm8_Ds/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25286%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>3. After turning on your car, allow it to run for 30 to 45 seconds, so that the car can begin distributing fluids to the autoparts before you drive.</p>
<h2>Break Your Car in Slowly.</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXl4MseVZ5ThcpR5NqzOUS-gdHRWT10YxfVqEFHiEYm4p5xOs4kW4CVw5ev-FEMyaEhD8JJclVQOXEct53Jhhxk0ZTQlpJvgYN_ec_BeF9dKZ3AYACgiHWLMcgueJQSGt9uWTTE_z_7Iw/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXl4MseVZ5ThcpR5NqzOUS-gdHRWT10YxfVqEFHiEYm4p5xOs4kW4CVw5ev-FEMyaEhD8JJclVQOXEct53Jhhxk0ZTQlpJvgYN_ec_BeF9dKZ3AYACgiHWLMcgueJQSGt9uWTTE_z_7Iw/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25281%2529.JPG" /></a></div></p>
<p>4. A brand new car needs some tender loving care to help avoid damage to its automotive parts. Keep your speed and engine RPMs to a minimum while you're racking up those first few miles on the odometer. Avoid freeways and major highways until your car is broken in.</p>
<h2>Exercise Care in Bad Weather.</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiIl36bLF7NbMZd1nZudWkxpGUewuWGN5l4LQe89FaVLRDNoYW9HiNNuAdCWFZMRuvt6CaqrSsaNhk6mUku_VEtrWH7p-kBydh9zG5GkR6lMpKjW0yTrWPUGwTnb5OLehNTIBn_IngDz0/s1600/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiIl36bLF7NbMZd1nZudWkxpGUewuWGN5l4LQe89FaVLRDNoYW9HiNNuAdCWFZMRuvt6CaqrSsaNhk6mUku_VEtrWH7p-kBydh9zG5GkR6lMpKjW0yTrWPUGwTnb5OLehNTIBn_IngDz0/s640/shoppmlit-parts-lights-accessories-lighting-custom-6-Simple-Things-that-Can-Help-Protect-Your-Vehicle+%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>5. You need to be extra cautious when driving conditions are hazardous to protect both the auto parts and yourself! You should always utilize fog-lights instead of high beam headlights when visibility is low. If the roads may be slippery, don't make sharp movements. Even if you feel yourself sliding, you should apply the brakes slowly to avoid skidding. Keep your tires in good condition and properly inflated to ensure safe driving in all types of conditions.</p>

<p>6. Your owner's manual has a special section that provides tips on what to do in different types of emergencies, such as if any of the autoparts would suddenly fail. Take the time to read the procedures and then review them on a regular basis. Handling an emergency properly can go a long way toward keeping you safe and protecting your automotive parts.</p>ShopPMLIThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15431529316054805725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107169224919869473.post-67138877556868032462014-05-09T09:56:00.000-07:002014-05-09T09:56:00.375-07:00What Are You Riding On: An In-Depth Look at Tires<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGRDCUE2LgcB8HL8UQ8SohkRunLKuUZ1miOcO6e48eGC1u1bWWibiFJOfuR1ukdtgAi12cnwOfB34z8fjkdCVAsFMZN4hom0LYs3Dt4U-lBHQIUw7I2Lp2EMH4knrztpQT_BareeDZzF4/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-What-Are-You-Riding-On-An-In-Depth-Look-at-Tires+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGRDCUE2LgcB8HL8UQ8SohkRunLKuUZ1miOcO6e48eGC1u1bWWibiFJOfuR1ukdtgAi12cnwOfB34z8fjkdCVAsFMZN4hom0LYs3Dt4U-lBHQIUw7I2Lp2EMH4knrztpQT_BareeDZzF4/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-What-Are-You-Riding-On-An-In-Depth-Look-at-Tires+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>All cars have tires, and every car owner must purchase new sets from time to time. Still, tires are among the auto parts that car owners often think and know the least about. Having a better understanding of what goes into these automotive parts can help you make a more informed decision the next time you're in the market for a new set.</p>
<h2>Basics of Radial Construction</h2>
<p>The majority of cars on the road today are running on radial tires, which have been on the market since the 1940s. The body or casing of a tire is constructed out of cords called plies. Most tires feature plies made of polyester, which are lightweight and temperature resistant. In a radial tire, the plies are positioned so that they are at a 90-degree angle to the direction in which the tire moves.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpO9YPxAdHSmOT4KfkSAqskB0XiZorm1cIouCD7iuqdX0WDmrNZcn9O6BoBwbEE5XmaqIy6nn3yDr8iURnL3FxhB5EDlt57SoAyW98NjiCvHuwag8bCIVf3yRnlYo9Je2s7AWDXY4YzVY/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-What-Are-You-Riding-On-An-In-Depth-Look-at-Tires+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpO9YPxAdHSmOT4KfkSAqskB0XiZorm1cIouCD7iuqdX0WDmrNZcn9O6BoBwbEE5XmaqIy6nn3yDr8iURnL3FxhB5EDlt57SoAyW98NjiCvHuwag8bCIVf3yRnlYo9Je2s7AWDXY4YzVY/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-What-Are-You-Riding-On-An-In-Depth-Look-at-Tires+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>This differs from bias tires, which have criss-crossed plies. Radial tires are popular because they are more flexible and do not get caught in ruts in the road, helping to improve the maneuverability of vehicles. Diagonal ply construction is still used for some tires, but typically, this type of <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/universal-accessories-led-lights/">auto parts</a> is reserved for commercial trucks rather than passenger vehicles.</p>

<h2>The Structure of Sidewalls</h2>
<p>The strength of the sidewalls of tires greatly determines the overall strength of the tires themselves. Manufacturers of tire auto parts must balance this need for strength with flexibility requirements to ensure that the tires allow for easy handling on the road. As a result, tire makers produce special rubber compounds for each type of tire that they manufacture, ensuring that they are the perfect balance of weather resistant, UV resistant, strong and flexible for different types of driving. They may also add steel or nylon to reinforce the sidewalls and improve handling in vehicles that are being driven at high speeds.</p>

<h2>The Importance of the Tread</h2>
<p>The tread or outer surface of the tires is added to the tire last, but it is what largely determines what type of <a href="http://www.scopioneusa.com/shop-by-make/">automotive parts</a> the tire will be. Engineers and product designers at tire companies are constantly researching and experimenting with new tread patterns, looking for ways to improve the performance of the auto parts that they produce. Different types of patterns provide different benefits, and when combined with various types of rubber compounds allow for tires to be made for rain, snow, conserving gasoline, moving at top speeds and more. </p>

<p>There you have it--the ins and outs of tires. When it's time for you to shop for these <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/">auto parts</a> next, be sure to take the time to closely compare your options. As you can see, tires can vary dramatically in their types, making it important that you select the right type for your vehicle and your driving needs, just as you would any other types of car accessories.</p>

<p>
VW Scirocco is yet to be made available in the US. Many people have been on the lookout for its introduction to the US market. But this remains a dream for lovers of enticing coupe of VW Scirocco on US soil.</p>
<p>
This is because unless VW has a rethink, this fantastic turbo changed and super changed 4-cylinder engine automobile is still out of the reach of US citizens. The reason for the decision manufacturer not to introduce it to US is still unknown considering the potential market that exists in the US soil. </p>
<p>
Volkswagen Scirocco has been recently given revised engine line-up. This, of course, will improve fuel efficiency and it will also lower carbon (IV) oxide emissions.</p>

These technologies have influenced the car manufacturing industries in no small measure. The aim of racing car manufacturers is to build the fastest and best performing cars. Some of the features of racing cars have been incorporated into many cars that are produced in the factory. Many components of the automobile are influenced by race technology. The ten features that top the list are discussed as follows:</p>
<h2>Transmission: </h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeMRt26xlTCTi-O1gkJj2dNWCR4UhLxrECyLBFQlB-MVsGVFxadqGjhhtYIEANhoYU1KHQVBQGpNz9GqZ8BHRRtFF4xgd063dx4AhAo8NPTyEIxHClbmFDQe1igwRZ0prvbiLdhyfJ4io/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeMRt26xlTCTi-O1gkJj2dNWCR4UhLxrECyLBFQlB-MVsGVFxadqGjhhtYIEANhoYU1KHQVBQGpNz9GqZ8BHRRtFF4xgd063dx4AhAo8NPTyEIxHClbmFDQe1igwRZ0prvbiLdhyfJ4io/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>Automatic transmission role play the same role whether in race or road car: it translates the power of the engine to the wheel and this give rise to a crushing experience. Automatic transmission shifts gears without any input from the driver. This saves a lot of time in trips. Besides, manual transmission is prone to human error. Automatic transmission helps to avoid unnecessary mistakes on the part of the drivers.</p>
<h2>Push to Start Button, Time Savers: </h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrrJRqWQ9kGqBiNzi5Vpue_bioWQ0_IpmdcQuapZOwjTIxyUFBQSFfjmp0VGCKCF1NC5_SDPUpquURN_Fw-cXSuBBm-aa6_dXBX-1vdvSLRBxlQDS_LxR4-0sB4j8x2yxykGOgo7Jd8N0/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25289%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrrJRqWQ9kGqBiNzi5Vpue_bioWQ0_IpmdcQuapZOwjTIxyUFBQSFfjmp0VGCKCF1NC5_SDPUpquURN_Fw-cXSuBBm-aa6_dXBX-1vdvSLRBxlQDS_LxR4-0sB4j8x2yxykGOgo7Jd8N0/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25289%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>Every time counts in a racing competition. In order to save time the manufacturers of racing cars introduce push button ignitions. This allows a driver to start a car without having to fumble with the ignition keys. This allows race cars to go faster than their completion. This has influenced speed in production cars. Some cars like Porsche also come with push button ignitions.</p>
<h2>Suspensions: </h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhgsNfdLXSEuA7VJmbnefz4kRVIfs537vgGb8zPPUjaJkPXVXoUeNqq2dh2lu0pG7BR_AMA2dx1yR5Mg9Yxy4tFfDI7xOWaEfbaax31khEI-9vayebv6Q4IPuF_D2hi5OwSfTP1MPR1JI/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhgsNfdLXSEuA7VJmbnefz4kRVIfs537vgGb8zPPUjaJkPXVXoUeNqq2dh2lu0pG7BR_AMA2dx1yR5Mg9Yxy4tFfDI7xOWaEfbaax31khEI-9vayebv6Q4IPuF_D2hi5OwSfTP1MPR1JI/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>This is the feature that determines the stability of a car on the roads. It plays important role in the mobility of a car. The front and rear suspensions of a race car are independent of each other. There are production cars that have incorporated this feature into their car model. Independent suspension allows each auto wheel to move without affecting the other. This makes it possible to transfer all the power form the engines into the wheels.</p>
<h2>Tires: </h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHZF4O9jQwNQBp3oyrFF4EBkg98rz3jaPnxVMljGyBYj81XJJWvmY0gSH5dAfHHCRGWuxAjlV9C-1EzQqN78GfTB-YNpUHuFlS-s1lm98zDLaSw93el2ZK79e-HK77hGK299qPU58bxAg/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHZF4O9jQwNQBp3oyrFF4EBkg98rz3jaPnxVMljGyBYj81XJJWvmY0gSH5dAfHHCRGWuxAjlV9C-1EzQqN78GfTB-YNpUHuFlS-s1lm98zDLaSw93el2ZK79e-HK77hGK299qPU58bxAg/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p><a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/blog/Automotive-Tire-Design-for-Performance/">High performance tires</a> are employed in race cars and the tires are often tailored to the type of racing. This feature is being put to use in modern automobiles. For instance, NASCAR car employs the use of tires with very soft rubber. When the tires are heated, it increases the friction between the tires and the road surface. This results in a very tight grip which aids smooth movement. This is a feature that is useful in production of modern cars.</p>
<h2>Brakes: </h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsapFRqZ8MgtbAmPn9E8TQGhsZSVI8ahIZI57zIjMheEDiXobPJa4kX9S3GaMjT1KuLTxZNIz2vh1hb2xE9qR5VRVC0_0xAmFfqTYHA6Tz7hNcye1Q92nhygnjUsCwz5imktJsBfRXHg/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25286%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsapFRqZ8MgtbAmPn9E8TQGhsZSVI8ahIZI57zIjMheEDiXobPJa4kX9S3GaMjT1KuLTxZNIz2vh1hb2xE9qR5VRVC0_0xAmFfqTYHA6Tz7hNcye1Q92nhygnjUsCwz5imktJsBfRXHg/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-Top-Car-Technologies-That-Came-From-Racing+%25286%2529.JPG" /></a></div></p>
<p>Ceramic brakes have been used in race cars than disc brakes. Racing technology is one driving force in automobile development. While many cars still use cast iron disc brakes, race cars uses materials that are lighter and durable. The brakes of race cars can be applied at any speed and a stop is always guaranteed.</p>

<p>There are many new technologies that have contributed greatly to fuel economy. The improvement may be small but the fact that many cars on the roads makes this to be a significant way of saving large amounts of fuel on the long run. Despite campaigns for alternative fuels, hybrid and electric vehicles, the majority of cars is still running on gasoline. The demand for gasoline engines will still persist for the foreseeable future. Some of the reasons responsible for the continuous use of gasoline engines are basically that people are used to it and there are infrastructure that supports their use. So, it fits nicely into the American way of life.</p>
<p>Gasoline has its own disadvantages like environmental pollution. It is a nonrenewable energy. The heavy dependent on gasoline has led to incessant hike its prices. There has been the introduction of auto features recently to improve power, fuel efficiency and emissions. Some of these new auto gas engine technologies are focusing on reducing the amount of pollutant and money spent on the gas. Discussed below are five new gas engine technologies that keep new automobile affordable and appealing to buyers.</p>
<h2>Variable Valve Timing and Lift</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHT7RvjzRJwUdjxtKsdsaN11k6dDzupog0Hi-Dl1Xo0Oe4CoczfUrQNDbDGG3VnWL_tfuVdhaHCGTwRFkwrqpH_y_C11pSnYaDtlsxbG5T7jdnQwdUyMS68om8BnSuuatqgmsZbIto76M/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHT7RvjzRJwUdjxtKsdsaN11k6dDzupog0Hi-Dl1Xo0Oe4CoczfUrQNDbDGG3VnWL_tfuVdhaHCGTwRFkwrqpH_y_C11pSnYaDtlsxbG5T7jdnQwdUyMS68om8BnSuuatqgmsZbIto76M/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>Car manufacturers have updated gasoline engines with the introduction of variable valve and lift. Valves open and close to control how the fuel or air mixtures enter. It also controls how the exhaust exits the combustion. The rate at which valves open and close determine the amount of fuel that will be consumed by the engine. Varying the opening and closing time of automobile valve allows the engine to get enough fuel and air to perform the current task. This conserves fuel.</p>
<h2>Direct Fuel Injection</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tUL8RyB7SzGnL6RYjt0JHXNvEpt3Ll8UYYnRwYf61YKBkf33Gsgki0Y40gQxfM0uoRlHKg6S99QQHiiyYy9KjJHajyS2ij_HOuywTbx8pvQGViORL2F1YSBBkRqFeLav8w9XKb-WpPk/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tUL8RyB7SzGnL6RYjt0JHXNvEpt3Ll8UYYnRwYf61YKBkf33Gsgki0Y40gQxfM0uoRlHKg6S99QQHiiyYy9KjJHajyS2ij_HOuywTbx8pvQGViORL2F1YSBBkRqFeLav8w9XKb-WpPk/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>Another way gasoline fuel has been improved upon is by the modification of how fuel gets into the combustion chamber. It has been discovered that heating and pressurizing the fuel prior to injection into the combustion chamber helps ignition and there is no any need for sparkling that use up fuel. This ensures cleaner and efficient fuel burning.</p>
<h2>Cylinder Deactivation</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGR9FxxYdDh1o6tf4BbyQWziCAsQrnrwEXEVtoPe7LGDamWUJYWMNSqmZLmCwocK0Up2vWxqEWUKD3estYHsHZx7jXx9-cKBt9gNVqFtT0F7h50DSaX2fgtEj-LNxQoMa4mXSVaAXuKeg/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-fuel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGR9FxxYdDh1o6tf4BbyQWziCAsQrnrwEXEVtoPe7LGDamWUJYWMNSqmZLmCwocK0Up2vWxqEWUKD3estYHsHZx7jXx9-cKBt9gNVqFtT0F7h50DSaX2fgtEj-LNxQoMa4mXSVaAXuKeg/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-fuel.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>This works similar to valve timing and lift. Each engine needs different amount of fuel to perform different tasks. An engine usually needs different amount of fuel for various tasks. For instance, V-8 engines have eight cylinders. All the cylinders are working when the engine is on. This results in burning of fuel and air. Cylinder deactivation in vehicles helps to shut down some cylinders when they are not working. The cylinders that are shut down are not receiving fuel, hence gas is conserved. Cylinder deactivation can also improve energy efficiency by about 7.5 per cent.</p>
<h2>Turbo Chargers</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwI7hjIEORAIx81PYl-bmm6yrnl7Q0JhgFEgIYVgT6eSU-TIWBDLqRt3-xOxesFW3G9mUI3NJhImic-ijZT2LihGfQgE-kNB0yc_URoJDGLjxuV8J0qdfIDyabf7hkCGwT5308oeWShI/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwI7hjIEORAIx81PYl-bmm6yrnl7Q0JhgFEgIYVgT6eSU-TIWBDLqRt3-xOxesFW3G9mUI3NJhImic-ijZT2LihGfQgE-kNB0yc_URoJDGLjxuV8J0qdfIDyabf7hkCGwT5308oeWShI/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>These are fans that are powered by gases from the car exhaust system. This helps the compressed air to move into the cylinder with ease. This also gives room for higher compression ratio which is similar to direct injection. Turbo chargers allow cars to save fuel and encourage fuel economy.</p>
<h2>Light Footed Drivers</h2>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXrkuloQ0TWljrzbLfAeL5S3yQpTWKo3X3lan9WPwhRP4PAxPDfv5u3hl4QFdaZpZPL6WP0WB8qfWbr9z-2zEZ4V5ZrJ4-qM-egN_hCvhrHedurA08YmuuRDI5dacx8AgmJMyfE6O2hT4/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXrkuloQ0TWljrzbLfAeL5S3yQpTWKo3X3lan9WPwhRP4PAxPDfv5u3hl4QFdaZpZPL6WP0WB8qfWbr9z-2zEZ4V5ZrJ4-qM-egN_hCvhrHedurA08YmuuRDI5dacx8AgmJMyfE6O2hT4/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-headlights-lamps-five-modern-gas-engine-technologies-that-save-f+%25286%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>The amount of fuel that is consumed by automobile is not entirely dependent on technology. It is also a function of how a vehicle is driven and handled by the owners. Gradual acceleration consumes less gas than flooring the accelerator. To increase fuel efficiency, car manufacturers have included efficiency indicator on modern automobiles. Fuel economy can be achieved by heeding warning signals from the indicators. There is also introduction of eco mode in some cars. Eco mode allows the use of less gas most especially if you are driving around town. Eco mode is not advisable on the high ways. </p>
<p>
These are just few of the gas technologies that have been introduced by car marketers to increase appeal for gasoline engines.</p>

<p>Piggyback ECU Superchips are the chips that are wired to work with the factory ECU of an automobile. If the factory ECU is controlling some parts of your vehicle, then you have a piggyback ECU. </p>
<p>Piggyback are of two types. These include the piggyback engine superscripts that intercept signals from sensors and modify those signals in such a way that the stock ECU is tricked to make the automobile behave the way you want.</p>
<p>The second piggyback engine is Post ECU manipulation. This works by modifying the signal after it has left the stock ECU. For instance, this can work by rising and lowering the injection time but the ECU does not have control of the fuel.</p>
<p>Piggyback Engine superchips have their advantages and disadvantages. These are what raise the concern whether they are really superchips for performance.</p>
<h2>Advantages of piggyback engine Superchips</h2>
<ul>
<li>Piggyback engine superchips are easy to set up and tune</li>
<li>Piggyback engine superchips are very cheap when compared to stand alone auto parts.</li>
<li>They are fully compliant with all sensors and gauges in the dash. There is no need for modification of the auto settings before they function.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Disadvantages of Piggyback Engine Superchips</h2>
<ul>
<li>Piggyback engine superchips can be difficult to set up and tune depending on the factory settings.</li>
<li>There is a limit to make it work properly to the full capabilities.</li>
<li>Modification of the engine harness may lead to complication when trying to revert back to the modified auto wiring.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Are Superchips really super chips for performance?</h2>
<p>Superchips have been widely accepted as cheap ways to upgrade your vehicle’s horsepower performance. They are also known as aftermarket performance chip. The superchips are made to adjust parameters that lead to increase in engine torque and horsepower. Engine Control Unit determines the quantity of fuel to be injected into the engine at a given time.</p>
<p>
The development of piggyback superchips was borne out of the desire to reduce fuel consumption that will increase fuel economy. After market superchips are also installed to increase auto performance and at the same time, to increase fuel efficiency.</p>
<p>
Piggyback Engine Superchips cost between 300 and 700 USD. Some of these superchips can increase the engine performance by up to 30 Horse Power. Installation of these superchips is very easy in majority and most of them will plug into the ECU directly. There is also option for resetting to revert the factory settings when the need arises.</p>
<p>
It is no doubt that ECU upgrade with piggyback superchips is a sure, simple and low cost alternative for many contemporary automobile lovers. </p>

There are many test cars being spotted around the world under heavy camouflage. This machine is being seen everywhere with absolutely no camouflage and its eye candy to Lamborghini enthusiasts!</p>
<p>The new Lamborghini Huracan has a new 5.2 liter V10 engine upgraded from the engine of Gallardo's... If nothing else impresses you, these stats will send you reeling!</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_l1ZqEy-qEU/Uz2TEqrSD7I/AAAAAAAAAAw/UN0yDMQ5EKc/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-The-Lamborghini-Huracan-The-Superstar-of-Cars-to-Hit-in-2014+%25282%2529.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_l1ZqEy-qEU/Uz2TEqrSD7I/AAAAAAAAAAw/UN0yDMQ5EKc/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-The-Lamborghini-Huracan-The-Superstar-of-Cars-to-Hit-in-2014+%25282%2529.jpeg" /></a></div></p>
<p>It offers a total of 610 PS or 602 HP at 8.250 Rpm and 560 Nm of torque at a high 6.500 Rpm. The Huracan can go from a standstill to 100 in 3.2 seconds, that's from 0-200 in just 9.9 seconds with a top speed of 325!</p>
<p>Its new seven-speed dual clutch transmission is an unbelievable; pinch me, dream come true! The new transmission offers seamless gear changes without ever interrupting the torque. It also allows the driver to hold down the shift peddle while braking. The Huracan will automatically select the best gear to rocket the car out of the corner as fast as possible.</p>

<h2>Other Amazing Features:</h2>
<p>The Huracan offers a dramatically different chassis from the Aventador which is a totally complete carbon fiber construction in which the body is combined with the chassis as one single unit. In comparison, the Huracan offers a rear bulkhead and transmission tunnel built from resin transfer mold carbon fiber. The rest is an aluminum space frame. This chassis is also being used on the next-generation Audi R8 and weighs 10% less than the Gallardo's but a good 50% stronger.</p>
<p>The Huracan by Duke Dynamics will have new carbon fiber parts along the side skirts and small bare carbon fiber lip spoiler.</p>
<p>Another awesome feature in the interior is the ANIMA button. This will allow the driver to choose from three different driving modes. Each mode changes the engine mapping, steering, four-wheel drive, exhaust, transmission and dampers. The most eye catching, eye candy feature is the completely redesigned bumper with a dramatic carbon fiber splitter which copies the shape of the bumper.</p>
<p>The four-wheel drive has been updated from the <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/lamborghini-accessories/gallardo-lights/">Lamborghini Gallardo</a> as well. It is electronically controlled and sends 30% of the power to the front wheels and 70% to the rear wheels. In some cases, 50% of the power may go to the front wheels and the other half to the rear wheels.</p>

<p>Ferrari 458 Velocita, Canadian tuners Duke Dynamics and Designer Marius Dumitrascu are working overtime to prepare the latest and greatest Italian Superstar of cars for those drivers with discriminating taste. You do not want to miss the Geneva Motor Show 2014, and they would agree!</p>
<p>The Lamborghini Huracan will be hitting road very soon. There is little to nothing on the road that will even touch this amazing machine!</p>

<p>With the phasing out of the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/jeep-accessories/wrangler-lights/">Jeep Wrangler</a> faces little competition in the world of mid-size off-road vehicles. With its quality automotive parts and rugged style, the Wrangler continues to dominate the market year after year with competitors coming and going. Even those with auto parts that rival the quality of the Wrangler can never seem to overtake the Jeep model on the market.</p>

<h2>But GMC is reportedly about to try!</h2>

<p>Before the phasing out of Hummer, <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/gmc-accessories/">GMC</a> had plans to incorporate the rugged body and autoparts found in the off-road line into a smaller vehicle that could directly compete with the Wrangler. Those plans and the production of the Hummer make were ultimately abandoned when GMC was facing bankruptcy. Now, there is a report that GMC is once again working on a Wrangler rival. </p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWSRcicwbrOMUGRDpJbCInPjZppv2p90p2D3qwEfnYodd9Hdd2sdnAhxk-jHf8m7YDb3ygmS5uroUN0o2E3sOd4IIpGy30A8Kz5yFol2thD2_jW8TqGxZF_M38rDCv5v8aJwIZtL1Lvw/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-GMC-to-Take-on-the-Wrangler-Says-Top-Designer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWSRcicwbrOMUGRDpJbCInPjZppv2p90p2D3qwEfnYodd9Hdd2sdnAhxk-jHf8m7YDb3ygmS5uroUN0o2E3sOd4IIpGy30A8Kz5yFol2thD2_jW8TqGxZF_M38rDCv5v8aJwIZtL1Lvw/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-GMC-to-Take-on-the-Wrangler-Says-Top-Designer.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>There are only a few basic details about the new vehicle that are currently known, as they were recently disclosed by a GMC designer to The Car Guide. What is known for certain is that GMC does not plan to use any of the current frames and auto accessories found in their current line of SUVs for the new off-road model. The vehicle is being built from scratch with its own design. The report did not reveal whether or not the new vehicle will be sold under the Hummer make or the GMC brand or when we might expect to get a first glimpse at the vehicle. </p>

<p>It will be interesting to see what more will be revealed about the off-road model in the months to come. In particular we're curious about what type of car accessories and options the vehicle might include and whether or not GMC is devising a brand new auto lighting look for the vehicle with unique headlights and taillights.</p>

<p>When it comes to the American muscle car category, there are few that can touch the Chevrolet Camaro in terms of pure popularity. This is a car that has been going strong since 1966, and which seems to attract even more new admirers with every new update. </p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23ypDYxXTxAr0iUXAZ30c5sv6ynDwO3y5a5mmDkZny27Yzt_0RukVcS7S-fXX-fdJs8SajjeYT4tZbU-LYe559WBeM-QBseXGiOEudFNy6gMqnPenS3QMP5LEOPbC1vFcZKNPvW3xEUw/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-The-5th-Generation-Camaro-Embraces-LED-Lighting+%25287%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj23ypDYxXTxAr0iUXAZ30c5sv6ynDwO3y5a5mmDkZny27Yzt_0RukVcS7S-fXX-fdJs8SajjeYT4tZbU-LYe559WBeM-QBseXGiOEudFNy6gMqnPenS3QMP5LEOPbC1vFcZKNPvW3xEUw/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-The-5th-Generation-Camaro-Embraces-LED-Lighting+%25287%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>The most recent change to the design marks the 5th generation of the Camaro model, and as always, it was one that was met with great anticipation. There have already been tons of articles written about the changes made to this generation, so instead of breaking it all down, let’s specifically take a look at the headlights, taillights, and other elements of the new car that have embraced the LED technology.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOh5wm9tiTqHImkB_WT5uble2UpYNqlnFIIzphElwZAtmzIe2bWSxS_U1KHOHu4lXRh8yXkvUv6FcdPcvq-jsH7SLsRexyMeQ7A-mAtMEWHmIRf4Ve0yQ3bVzSGnsPZ7Hl0RqSJyjRW0/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-The-5th-Generation-Camaro-Embraces-LED-Lighting+%25285%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOh5wm9tiTqHImkB_WT5uble2UpYNqlnFIIzphElwZAtmzIe2bWSxS_U1KHOHu4lXRh8yXkvUv6FcdPcvq-jsH7SLsRexyMeQ7A-mAtMEWHmIRf4Ve0yQ3bVzSGnsPZ7Hl0RqSJyjRW0/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-The-5th-Generation-Camaro-Embraces-LED-Lighting+%25285%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>The new <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/chevrolet-accessories/camaro-lights/">Chevy Camaro headlights</a> definitely generated a lot of buzz when they were first put on display. Among the features that Camaro fans instantly fell in love with were the halo lights that are used in the headlight set-up. For those that are not quite sure what a halo light is, they are essentially what the name suggests, and that is a bright LED ring that circles the main head light and delivers a stunning look to any auto lighting set-up.</p>

<p>The main headlights are very high end HID/Xenon lights, which are traditionally found on luxury models across the world. Those lights definitely add a real touch of elegance to go with the muscle. The bottom of the front bumper is where the daytime running lights sit, and are basically there in place of fog lights. These are only on display when the main headlights are off, and do not come on when the lights are on and traveling at night.</p>

<p>Interior lighting is also given the LED touch, with <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/blog/Buying-Ford-Dodge-and-Chevy-Auto-Parts-is-Now-Easier-at-ShopPMLIT-com/">replacement bulbs</a> available for the dome light and interior panels. If you have ever used the standard interior lights and cussed them out for not being bright enough, making the switch to LED’s will change that forever. They are about 5 times brighter than the standard lighting and can even come in a variety of different colors to create a real sense of ambience inside the cabin. LED’s are also available around back with the taillights, making this Camaro one that you simply cannot miss on the road, either from the front or the rear.</p>

<p>A big part of the allure of the Chevy Camaro for many drivers is the ability to add aftermarket auto parts to make the car totally unique. Lighting kits are one way to do that, with halo lights being among the most popular additions at the moment. </p>

<p>Another great kit are the projector headlights that are available for the Camaro. These lights essentially light your way ahead even as you take curves. They are a great looking set of head lights, as well as being an addition that also adds a higher level of safety to your ride.</p>

<p>Audi has been aware that it’s got to catch upwith <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/bmw-accessories/">BMW</a> and Mercedes-Benz in the market place. Although they have made some major turning points, they are still trailing these other makes in the U.S marketplace. Look out though; they have cards up their sleeves with the third-generation TT and second-generation A5 along with a "potential" new luxury sedan - the A9.</p>
<h2>Audi Has Released Their New Teaser Image of the 2015 TT :</h2>
<p>Gearing up to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the 2015 TT is revealing a revolutionary design that is also recognizable Audi image. With a more advanced roof design and a full length LED third brake light, this model is equipped with fender flares, tail lights and Audi's familiar characteristic lines.</p>
<p>Little has been revealed by Audi, but the interior features are offering some spectacular styles. A 12.3 inch digital instrument panel, a flat-bottom steering wheel with aluminum trim. The 2015 offers a slender dashboard, a revamped center console and circular air vents along with advanced climate control.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqfjHN7WK3OLyYBTrh6tytiTMjRyZ02eZz5W3oYdT8g3RKF_AUsTx60oNFQ0uZ0xM3p2_evol8droamczsNEkEcKAIfVYEdR2AwdfNmMZcE1bjiWdeyGKxDFA2huM5HH6-OnpEdNW1o4/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-Unveiling-of-Audi-2015-TT-Might-Just-Surprise-the-Entire-Auto-World+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqfjHN7WK3OLyYBTrh6tytiTMjRyZ02eZz5W3oYdT8g3RKF_AUsTx60oNFQ0uZ0xM3p2_evol8droamczsNEkEcKAIfVYEdR2AwdfNmMZcE1bjiWdeyGKxDFA2huM5HH6-OnpEdNW1o4/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-Unveiling-of-Audi-2015-TT-Might-Just-Surprise-the-Entire-Auto-World+.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>The 2015 TT will offer a 227 horsepower version of their 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The TTS will offer a 306 horsepower while the TTS-RS will have a 380 horsepower five-cylinder. Buyers will be given the option of a six speed manual transmission and a dual clutch DSG unit along with all-wheel drive.</p>
<h2>The Exterior:</h2>
<p>There is not a particularly big change from the last model but it looks a great deal more advanced. Its biggest difference lies in the new horizontal lines and single-frame grill which is wider and flatter. The hood is displaying four Audi rings similar to the R8 Sports car. Audi's lighting includes headlights that are more angular which gives a great style to the overall look. The custom designed <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/audi-accessories/">Audi headlights</a> offer a better visual ability as well as pleasing to the eye in design.</p>
<p>The Audi headlights and tail lights are now consisting of 12 LEDs and a turn signal that literally points in the direction of the turn. The cornering light uses navigational data to move the light into a curve before the steering wheel is turned.</p>

<h2>The Interior:</h2>
<p>Audi definitely believes less is more. The interior is very clean in layout because of the combination of the instrument panel and the MMI screen. Audi refers to the screen as a virtual cockpit that designers were able to come up in an impressively slender design. The sound system offers a 14 channel amplifier and 12 speakers, with door woofers illuminated by accent lights.</p>
<p>A great amount of detail has gone into the new Audi TTS's profile which reflects the first-generation modern classic. The design is dominated by horizontal lines, a single frame grill which is broader and offers sleeker lines. </p>
<p>The front wheel arch clefts the line of the hood and continues over the doors and runs horizontally through to the tail with a strong body shoulder appeal.</p>
<p>The multifunctional steering wheel offers a flattened rim and the airbags take up 40% less space without compromising safety and offers a much lighter airiness. Audi is taking auto parts, accessories and other luxury components very seriously.</p>

<h2>Great Designs -- Great Accessories:</h2>
<p>There are two different steering options for drivers to choose from. The first allows the driver multifunction activation function from the steering wheel without taking their eyes off the road. The second offers a new MMI terminal on the console.</p>
<p>There a two toggle switches that activate the telephone, navigational maps, radio and a media menu. You may enter destinations using a touchpad and the MMI touch recognizes personal handwriting. You may scroll through lists or zoom in on maps. These are some of the innovative car accessories found in the Audi TT.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/audi-accessories/tt-lights/">Audi TT</a> is the embodiment of superior designing and top performance in a driving machine and seems to be on the road to great success. Audi believes they are making technology more controllable and easier to navigate in the perspective of the driver's experience.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOXpShnGbZIqSY-HZNcjzW36soXuhTxhi6nGsuKaXuBRZG_1g5ndZBBz4Hkb6-FoSCZyqwYOE2ObP6goST_T3m15ZrS0FrxPDgepkCC-hJKc2_31qEKgmzq8lAWHXFwhRmusvvrxotpaw/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-Unveiling-of-Audi-2015-TT-Might-Just-Surprise-the-Entire-Auto-World++%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOXpShnGbZIqSY-HZNcjzW36soXuhTxhi6nGsuKaXuBRZG_1g5ndZBBz4Hkb6-FoSCZyqwYOE2ObP6goST_T3m15ZrS0FrxPDgepkCC-hJKc2_31qEKgmzq8lAWHXFwhRmusvvrxotpaw/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-Unveiling-of-Audi-2015-TT-Might-Just-Surprise-the-Entire-Auto-World++%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>The 2015 Audi TT will be marketed in Europe and the United States in the coming fall. And, hint -- hint! A convertible version will more than likely be presented later this year at the Paris Motor Show and show up on the market in 2015 as well.</p>
<p>If BMW and Mercedes-Benz are running ahead at the moment, Audi is closing the gap rather rapidly with the 2015 Audi TT!</p>

<p>The Scion FR-S is a pretty great looking car in its own right, but those who love aftermarket parts will always find a way to make it better. Such was the case with Ken Gushi, a Formula Drift driver with the GReddy racing Team. He uses the FR-S for racing, but he also has one that he drives for daily use, too. Gushi decided that it was time to give his daily ride a bit of a makeover, which meant suing some of the auto parts employed by the racing team.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyo6Y_PSmC0ARX9Ni8GnmNpQTNR7hjy22FQ-NZycH_qxPpf0vSYz7VL6_qNS0rUQmznLM8kWFSIYCZTA1hZcQAgmCX8I7g4Ejl1SWTPOtjgod2mKvkIkKxLZmEJSWXLSrBtHM30Z9_1mM/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-How-Ken-Gushi-Upgraded-His-Scion-FR-S-to-a-10-Series_4_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyo6Y_PSmC0ARX9Ni8GnmNpQTNR7hjy22FQ-NZycH_qxPpf0vSYz7VL6_qNS0rUQmznLM8kWFSIYCZTA1hZcQAgmCX8I7g4Ejl1SWTPOtjgod2mKvkIkKxLZmEJSWXLSrBtHM30Z9_1mM/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-How-Ken-Gushi-Upgraded-His-Scion-FR-S-to-a-10-Series_4_.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>The first step was to install an engine parameter monitoring system, so that he could tell at a glance how the car was operating. The addition of an Info-Meter meant that Ken could easily access all the info he needed to check on the health of the engine. The next of the auto accessories to go on were KW V3 coilovers, which play a role in tightening up the suspension and reducing roll while cornering. Ken likes to go fast, so that was something of a no-brainer addition. An Evo3 cat-back exhaust system was also added, as was a GReddy intake system. The result was an extra jolt of power that was accompanied by a rather satisfying rumble.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCvjo0L7YNHC5kkfU2o_eJSQFA306JAYmYH2aatDrGPChtegR0LlXXfmPDHSBizPUZmTOH7IUqnaycy_b50q8rE-VTaU2J9GIxgBFnD2TMmBfgr4ByO51u99-ZSsjtC4THknj8Z8TATDU/s1600/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-How-Ken-Gushi-Upgraded-His-Scion-FR-S-to-a-10-Series_6_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCvjo0L7YNHC5kkfU2o_eJSQFA306JAYmYH2aatDrGPChtegR0LlXXfmPDHSBizPUZmTOH7IUqnaycy_b50q8rE-VTaU2J9GIxgBFnD2TMmBfgr4ByO51u99-ZSsjtC4THknj8Z8TATDU/s640/shoppmlit-auto-parts-lights-car-accessories-lighting-custom-mods-headlights-lamps-How-Ken-Gushi-Upgraded-His-Scion-FR-S-to-a-10-Series_6_.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>Headlights are all the rage with aftermarket lovers these days, and ken is no different. He has long been a fan of Japanese and European spec head lights, so he pulled some strings in order to land some cool J-spec head lamps that were promptly added to the car. No sooner had all of this work been completed when Ken saw and fell in love with an FR-S 10 Series. He made the switch and stripped down the old model back to the bare bones so that he could transfer all the auto accessories that had been added to the old one over to the new. It was then that he really went to work and made more changes.</p>

<p>The first thing that had to be done after all the aftermarket parts had been swapped over was to have the new car completely tuned. There were still a few additions to be made, but the tuning had to be performed before those could go on. Some of the final pieces that were added included new wheels, suspension, TRD Aero fins and door stabilizers, a personalized steering wheel, and a killer sound system. One of the most important additions, though, was a GReddy oil cooler, as that really helped keep the car engine temperatures down when Ken put it through the testing phase.</p>

<p>While the changes made to the FR-S would be more than enough for the average driver, you have to remember that Ken Gushi is no ordinary driver. He admits that more auto parts will be making their way to his garage in the near future, and we wonder if those might include projector lights or perhaps some cool reworking of the tail lights.</p>

<p>The Jeep is a great vehicle in its own right, but you can take its performance to new levels with some changes that won’t break the bank. It really doesn’t take much to take a Jeep to all new levels of performance, making it possible to increase mileage, horsepower, and even the ability to light the road ahead. A trip to your local auto accessories store will land you all the parts you need to spice up your Jeep.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRh2lhuVdcDayuo9yl03T1BgAz4sTpuk8YuUmSLxDv6ThWPfRpF5wwjCRtU6WpsSbPCtfxfRPm6fEcV1GUOs2-IQuhURrSUu6CXxriOUrzrJj0LvVGB6_s5N6qANPBmdBT_KCQgnqVHF0/s1600/Auto-Lights-Accessories-Car-LED-Lighting-Custom-Bulbs-Parts-ShopPMLIT-pmlit-ORACLE-jeep-wrangler-Angel-Eyes-Demon-HALOs-Rings-DRL-Kit-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRh2lhuVdcDayuo9yl03T1BgAz4sTpuk8YuUmSLxDv6ThWPfRpF5wwjCRtU6WpsSbPCtfxfRPm6fEcV1GUOs2-IQuhURrSUu6CXxriOUrzrJj0LvVGB6_s5N6qANPBmdBT_KCQgnqVHF0/s640/Auto-Lights-Accessories-Car-LED-Lighting-Custom-Bulbs-Parts-ShopPMLIT-pmlit-ORACLE-jeep-wrangler-Angel-Eyes-Demon-HALOs-Rings-DRL-Kit-2.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>One of the first places to start is with the air filter and intake system. You will find a massive improvement in high performance air filters over what comes standard in your Jeep. OEM air intakes aren’t designed to reduce restriction and add horsepower in the way that a cold air intake can. Making the switch to a high flow filter and air intake will improve your gas mileage, whilst also being that much easier to clean. Less time on maintenance means more time behind the wheel.</p>
<p>Another big difference you can make is by changing out your exhaust system and adding an aftermarket performance exhaust. Power and torque will instantly be increased, and you’ll find that you friendly Jeep develops a little bit of a menacing growl.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqVkscPt9qmFWRYbWYxl8bD6xI6rxJfDp2mebzOiDQMZyaAadFgyOQA5Q1aJ1lw0oLab-s7XS2Z5osdMUWhmSUqIcO2vtN5CfBoBxVscqetzrXxeSQN_PCxCfus5E7nVtxLWcbSfqDrg/s1600/Auto-Lights-Accessories-Car-LED-Lighting-Custom-Bulbs-Parts-ShopPMLIT-pmlit-ORACLE-jeep-wrangler-Angel-Eyes-Demon-HALOs-Rings-DRL-Kit-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqVkscPt9qmFWRYbWYxl8bD6xI6rxJfDp2mebzOiDQMZyaAadFgyOQA5Q1aJ1lw0oLab-s7XS2Z5osdMUWhmSUqIcO2vtN5CfBoBxVscqetzrXxeSQN_PCxCfus5E7nVtxLWcbSfqDrg/s640/Auto-Lights-Accessories-Car-LED-Lighting-Custom-Bulbs-Parts-ShopPMLIT-pmlit-ORACLE-jeep-wrangler-Angel-Eyes-Demon-HALOs-Rings-DRL-Kit-5.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>One thing that cannot be overlooked when looking to improve the performance of your Jeep is regular maintenance. Make sure that all of the parts and fluids that you need to operate at peak performance are topped off and working as they should will help you get the most out of your vehicle. This is especially true if you go off-roading, as there is more chance that parts could be damaged.</p>
<p>So far we have been speaking about performance, but a big part of that comes from driving a confident looking car. One easy way to get that look is by making some changes to the headlights. There are all kinds of different head-light options that you can add to your Jeep, from fog lights to halo light kits, all of which will help give your Jeep a unique, distinctive look.</p>
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF4UxW18CDnoJyI4rnQVFgmG_kXR3WRt28R5dAcQ8h-MmQXQqnQ9RsR89B1ct1CykUvAmzLK9r0MVgtET32bfCfHYKcyxPm3B0Wjqg0RBZnhpW1xvo1QgxbTIdMx-iJnslZ53jA8_izXk/s1600/Auto-Lights-Accessories-Car-LED-Lighting-Custom-Bulbs-Parts-ShopPMLIT-pmlit-ORACLE-jeep-wrangler-Angel-Eyes-Demon-HALOs-Rings-DRL-Kit-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF4UxW18CDnoJyI4rnQVFgmG_kXR3WRt28R5dAcQ8h-MmQXQqnQ9RsR89B1ct1CykUvAmzLK9r0MVgtET32bfCfHYKcyxPm3B0Wjqg0RBZnhpW1xvo1QgxbTIdMx-iJnslZ53jA8_izXk/s640/Auto-Lights-Accessories-Car-LED-Lighting-Custom-Bulbs-Parts-ShopPMLIT-pmlit-ORACLE-jeep-wrangler-Angel-Eyes-Demon-HALOs-Rings-DRL-Kit-6.jpg" /></a></div></p>
<p>If you are looking for Jeep lights, you may want to look at Oracle lighting when it comes times to buy. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, Oracle have made a name for themselves by delivering top quality LED lights, halo’s, and much more. They have put together some incredible kits that are not only top quality, but also pretty easy for the average Jeep enthusiast to install. </p>

<p>Why would you drive the same Jeep as everyone else out there when there are so many things you can do to take it to all new levels of performance and style? Add some power and gas mileage, and don’t forget to go with some cool headlight treatments so that everyone on the road, and off, will see you coming.</p>

There is little doubt that the Ford Mustang is still going
strong after 50 years on the road. On December 5<sup>th</sup>, 2013, car enthusiasts previewed the <a href="http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/2015/" target="_blank">2015 Ford Mustang</a> model, representing the 50<sup>th</sup> year that the
Mustang will be produced. Ford has certainly pulled out all the stops, revealing
the new Mustang at events around the world to celebrate the half-century that
it has been a part of the Ford family of vehicles.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While the Mustang has never been Ford’s biggest selling
vehicle, it is part of the Ford brand and one of the most recognized names in
the automotive industry. Since 1964, over 9 million Mustangs have been sold.
The Mustang has over 300 fan clubs across the globe and has been featured in
famous TV series like “Charlie’s Angels” and was driven by the King of Cool,
Steve McQueen in films like “Bullitt”.</div>

<h3>
The Features of the 2015 Ford Mustang</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This new version takes many of the classic features of the
Mustangs of the past to incorporate them into the frame of the vehicle,
including using the old Mustang logo as well. But the 2015 version is also
distinctive unto its own as well. Lower and wider than previous models, this
Mustang features the same signature <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/ford-accessories/mustang-lights/" target="_blank">headlights</a>, but they are set back more into
the front end than before. While still reminiscent of the 2005 version, this
Mustang is more modern and muscular. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There will be three different types of engines available for
the 2015 Ford Mustang, they include a 3.7L V6 engine that obtains 300 hp, a
5.0L V8 with 420 hp and a smaller 2.3L EcoBoost four cylinder that gets 305 hp.
This will be the first Mustang with independent rear suspension and loads of
new options, including stability control, blind-spot detection, toggle switches
that adjust how the vehicle is steered and a new interior with brushed aluminum
instead of the standard plastics along with analog dials. </div>

<h3>
The Future of the 2015 Ford Mustang </h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although the price of the new Mustang has not been revealed,
the current model sells for roughly $23,000. Ford is hoping that this new
version of the Mustang can regain its position as the top selling pony car in
the US. Currently, the <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/chevrolet-accessories/camaro-lights/" target="_blank">Chevrolet Camaro</a>, which actually was first released two
years after the original Mustang, has been outselling its rival for the past
three years. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fresh, new and with a promising redesign, the 2015 Ford
Mustang looks to recapture its old glory while setting new standards for sports
vehicles. The sleeker, more muscular appearance along with advanced technical
features has Ford hoping that this new version reminds consumers of the
Mustang’s glorious past while setting its sights on the future. </div>

When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans back in 2005, we were all privy to the damage caused to the city and its residents. What was not shown was the effect that the storm had on local businesses, many of which were forced to shut up shop permanently in the wake of the disaster. One company that was able to survive and thrive was Oracle Lighting. They were still relatively new on the scene when Katrina hit, which makes their rise to their current prominent level within the industry all the more impressive.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://oraclelights.com/" target="_blank">Oracle Lighting</a> story is not just one of survival against the odds, but is actually more about providing quality and excellent service that has been regularly recognized over their decade or so in business. Among the major highlights – pardon the pun – for the company is being included in Inc500 list of the Fastest Growing Businesses in the USA for 4 straight years. As great as those awards are, the people at Oracle Lighting would likely tell you that they are more proud of the awards they received from organizations in the state of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans.<br />
<br />
While it would be incredibly easy for Oracle Lighting to rest on the laurels of those successes, they continue to work hard in their efforts to be the best in the business. That prompted them to open a second location in Houston, Texas, so that they can better serve their ever growing number of customers. Oracle delivers LED lighting for commercial and residential use, but the fastest growing segment has to be in the automotive department, where lighting has quickly become the must have accessory for car owners who love to upgrade their ride.<br />
<br />
High on that list are halo lights, which create a bright ring of sorts around the existing lights on the car. Oracle Lighting offer a large number of proprietary <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/shop-pmlit/" target="_blank">halo kits</a> that are widely considered to be among the brightest and best in the industry. That is really just scratching the surface of what Oracle has on offer for car lovers that want to add a unique lighting look to their vehicle. The word I already out about just how good Oracle products are, but they are now taking it to another level by taking part in a number of different racing venues, starting with the Formula Drift Series.<br />
<br />

If you are a fan of auto racing but have never experienced drifting, you are really missing out on something special. Drifting is unlike any other form of racing in that the driving style is one where the driver is forced to keep the vehicle in a position that is borderline out of control. The driver needs to oversteer the car through a turn, whilst maintaining control in a position that would cause most to simply lose it. Drift racing was featured in one of the earlier Fast & Furious movies, and has built a loyal following ever since then.<br />
<br />
Oracle Lighting’s involvement in the Drift Racing series is their partnership with driver Dean Kearney and his <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/dodge-accessories/viper-lights/" target="_blank">Dodge Viper</a>. Kearney is one of the younger drivers in the Formula Drift circuit, which actually makes him something of a perfect fit with the relatively youthful Oracle Lighting. Despite his age, Dean “Karnage” Kearney has been able to be successful against drivers who have a lot more experience than he does on the circuit. The native of Ireland saw some real success during the 2013 season, before finally landing 29th overall in the standings. That is a 20 place jump from the previous year, which shows that, like Oracle Lighting, he is very much on the rise. Look out for the #43 car with the Oracle Lighting decals and the amber halo lights in the upcoming 2014 season.<br />
<br />
Oracle’s entry into the racing scene didn’t just end with the Formula Drift series, though, as they also decided to sponsor a driver and car in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. The partnership they formed here is one that was an absolutely perfect match when you consider the origins of the company and the driver involved. Oracle Lighting lent their name to the #44 car of Louisiana native Hal Martin at the Kansas Speedway last October. Martin was delighted to have Oracle part of the sponsorship on his car, and not only because of the Cajun ties that the two pair. Martin is well aware of the advances in lighting technology and is well aware that Oracle are very much at the heart of all the exciting things that are happening within the industry.<br />
<br />
Martin was actually so impressed by what Oracle have to offer that he decided to go to the SEMA show in Las Vegas to represent the company at the event. He took his #44 <a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/toyota-accessories/camry-lights/" target="_blank">Toyota Camry</a> race car with him, which is not the type of vehicle that is generally on display at the event that is usually where concept cars go to be put on display. That said, the car helped promote the Oracle Lighting name even further, drawing attention to all the magnificent lighting option that they have on offer for enthusiasts looking to add a unique look to their vehicle.<br />
<br />
There is no denying that being part of these different racing scenes is something that will definitely benefit Oracle Lighting over the long haul. Being able to get their name in front of thousands of racing fans who may also be looking to make changes to their cars is something that can only be viewed as positive. Oracle Lighting have come a long way since the horrors of Hurricane Katrina and are doing a great job of carrying the flag for the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">We live in an age
of high technology and with high technology comes many improvements and
demands.. With the need for better operation advantages of everything from your
cellphone's back lighting to better night driving visibilities, laser is
quickly becoming a front-runner in the eyes of engineers worldwide.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">BMW is moving ahead
with technology to produce the most efficient, emulation of natural sunlight
for their automobile's headlights. The
most powerful car headlight, to date, is a blue laser diode that is 1000 times
brighter than an LED and only uses two-thirds the energy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">BMW's research
center, located in Munich, Germany, is an enormous complex to say the
least. The FIZ consists of workshops,
modelers and one colossus wind tunnel.
Within this complex, project founder Volker Levering displays three of
<a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/auto-parts/bmw-accessories/" target="_blank">BMW's brightest lights</a> along with Stefan Weber, current program leader and

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Weber stated that
most people may not be aware of good lighting vs bad lighting but will
immediately recognize the difference when excellent lighting is put in front of
them. Before an audience of viewers,
Weber turns on fluorescent panels that remarkably simulate a sunny day above
ground. Professional photographers
consider 6500 kelvin as "natural light", which is the range these
panels will reach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">A tiny diode
proceeds through phosphor, then converts some of this blue-laser light into a
wavelength that is in the yellow spectrum.
This mixture creates a white beam, that can be centralized very
securely, into an elliptical image even though it is not a laser.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Engineers want more
than just intensified lighting, focusing instead on a higher contrast of white
light that can mimic sunlight. BMW's
light system can deliver approximately 5500 to 6000 K which is the highest
color temperature that international regulations will allow.
This level will allow drivers the ability to see objects much more
clearly and is much easier on eyes, eliminating fatigue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Before semiconductor
lighting, the brightest whites headlights could muster was a high intensity
discharge (HID) lamps. These lamps were
first introduced by BMW in 1991 and are still an upgrade option on most 2014
vehicles. Unfortunately, this lighting
is still weaker and less energy efficient than<a href="http://www.shoppmlit.com/differences-between-ccfl-led-plasma/" target="_blank"> LED or laser lights</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Edison's 1879 incandescent bulb invention, the bulb has remained King in everything, including automobiles,
houses and offices to name a few. The
first LED headlights appeared six years ago in the Lexus LS 600h L sedan. Now it
seems laser will be the next, best in lighting effects. Laser light will be introduced throughout
Europe in the 2014 BMW i8, which is a plug-in hybrid sports car.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Shuji Nakamura,
inventor of both the blue-laser and blue LED, believes the day of the LED
headlight might be coming to an end before it ever really got off the
ground. His Silicon Valley company,
Soraa, is in the process of developing a laser system that will enhance LED's
lighting technologies and provide and provide a new way of lighting needs in
the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"laser" will be the next generation in lighting, including everything
from applications to homes and businesses.
He also believes that BMW's engineers are leading the way with their
night driving simulator. This simulator
consists of a cutaway 5 Series sedan interior with an instrument panel, seats
and steering wheel that face a darkened screen.
This is to test and demonstrate a driver's visual abilities while
driving at night, using laser.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the power of two laser prototypes dangling a stick of barely visible beams that
explode into a light, filling the entire lab.
This laser light is safely contained, not allowing any ill effect to
viewing retinas. This is due to the fact
that BMW's lamps turn the intense blue beam into a very concentrated, non-laser
cone of safe white light that is eye friendly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">The accumulation of
4 blue-laser diodes will direct the beams onto a phosphorus plate, then convert
the laser into white light that will bounce off secondary optics, reflecting
onto the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Erdle demonstrated
how this works with a phosphorus wafer dipped into a blue-laser beam. The wafer blocks some laser photons while
allowing others to stream through. Some
of the blocked photons will stimulate the phosphorus atoms, emitting yellow
light. The combination of blue light
shinning through yellow, forms a brilliant white light. Although this is the basic technology used for
white-light LEDs, Nakamura believes, along with other experts, that lasers are
much better and a great deal more efficient at directing light onto a distant
area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Paul Rudy, general
manager of the laser division at Soraa, said <i>"It's simply the best way
to direct light through a complex optical system."<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Taking just 10
square micrometers, a laser's active light area is a mere 1/10000th vs LED's 1
square millimeter. Therefore, laser can
focus and direct lighting exactly where it is needed. This tiny chip offers a higher density,
producing dazzling light without the multiple, bulkiness of LEDs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">The laser chip's
movements are adaptable for large motions of beams. LEDs tend to fan out and become difficult to
target. Rudy believes laser is a
combination of high brightness with the reliability, long life and efficiency
of LEDs. This could also mean, these
lights may easily outlive the life of the vehicle they are installed on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Although, at this
time, LEDs are a great deal more efficient at turning electricity into light,
laser's efficiency is rapidly catching up.
That said, LEDs are not good at focusing light where it needs to be
because it causes a fanning effect. Laser, on the other hand, produces a
precise focus point due to its pin point ability. Laser will only lose 10 to 20 percent of its
energy where LED loses almost 90% LED
headlights draw approximately 40 watts from a car's battery, where laser draws
only 30 watts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Blue lasers are
already being used in many other applications you might not be aware of. Pumping stronger blue lasers into phosphor in
order to create brilliant light has resulted in a lamp-free display which is
being used in offices, schools and home theatre projectors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">As the industry
matures laser is on a high upward curve while the costs are dropping rapidly,
giving laser an edge on favorability. As
BMW's blue-laser diodes are approximately only one-tenth the length of LEDs,
they can be placed anywhere within a vehicle while transmitting the output
light through fiber optics. This will
dramatically change the creation and designs of headlights.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">As the technology
continues to explode, expect to see uses in cell phones displays, head-mounted
systems, such as Google Glass. Laser
could very well become tomorrow's way of lighting homes, offices, stadiums and
everything else that needs light.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Due to it's compact
size and efficiency over LEDs, dollar-wise laser is much more flexible. It is not considered a giant leap that within
10 years laser will be used in just about any general purposes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Lasers switch on
within milliseconds, instantly growing to 100% illumination. They are
easy to package, they are space saving and extremely flexible for endless other
needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;"><a href="http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/i/i8/2013/showroom/design.html" target="_blank">BMW </a>and other
luxury vehicle manufacturers are introducing headlights that will direct a
"cone of darkness" toward oncoming vehicles, allowing the driver to
use high beams without blinding the oncoming drivers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Vehicles of the
future will adapt to road environments with hundreds of lighting programs being
envisioned right now. Laser will
coincide very nicely with these new
developments and enhancing our lives for years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">BMW will continue
to downsize their system and secure durability outside of their lab. The cooling system is a challenge, directing
airflow over the lamps is one option, by using fans or conductive
materials. BMW will be visiting Death
Valley, CA and other locations to run extreme testing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lighting to improve our experiences with new applications, lessen eye strain
and improve our driving abilities is not that far off. Technology is
forever on the edge of new and inventive ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
