Video

You are so kind

Thank you for your comment. No, you don't need to be on a bike for this product to activate. I do hope the two videos I made were of some help to you!!

Yes before I had bought the first one I had been told by a bicycle shop owner where we had first seen this product, that just as you mentioned he had a report of a cyclist who had gone into a petrol station to get a drink and when they bent down it had deployed. Then I heard stories of someone falling off their bike and it did not deeply. I was so desperate to protect my wife's head that I decided to give it a go. As you can see from my first video we did test it out, with the kind of movements she would make in the pool. It did not deploy until my son fell face down. I thought it was amazing and proceeded to buy 3 more which all deployed for very different reasons. We had to admit defeat and stop buying them. I also did contact Hovding directly. They were not a bit interested in communicating with me.

You are most welcome. I do hope this video has helped you in some way.

Sorry it was of no help to you. Don;t give up

This is the passenger side with the battery. The video explains how to do both sides unless your steering wheel is on the left??

O ya long time ago now

Thank you Jim

Yes 100%

You are most welcome, glad it helped you. Thanks for your kind words.

Thank you, and great job!!

Hi Patrick thank you for your comment. We have tryed the helmet but she found it uncomfortablel and also made her get too hot in the pool atmosphere. do you suffer with blackouts or seizures yourself? Whay do you have to ware your helmet?

@@pinnerphotography i have severe epilepsy, I do have a DANMAR with a FACE GUARD, that is the one on the picture you can see . I have a custom made helmet with a face guard that is the one I was talking about.it offer lot more protection than the DANMAR.

@@patrickpat8878 Hi Patrick the link won't open for me? I have had a look at the Danmar helmets. Thank you

@@pinnerphotography hi , if you ever bought an helmet from DANAMR , get it directly from them , you won’t find any better price , the one with a face guard is about 235 $ US , if you look on some medical retailers you will find the same helmet up to 800 $ , yes nearly 3 time the price . So get it directly from the company.

@@patrickpat8878 Patrick thank you again for your help and advice. Do you have to wear your helmet all through the day and if so how do you find it?

Thank you Mr. Nzeribe for your comments. Yes, it is very frustrating that Hovding did not even want to get into a dialog with me. We have tried 3 of them and found they all deployed much easier than the first one we tested. If the first one had deployed the way the other 2 did we would not have got our hopes up that this was the solution to 16 years of heartache. So a big letdown to find they deployed from everyday movements. It is not about the cost as we have come to the conclusion it is not the blackout or the seizure which could take her life. But the trauma to her head every time she smashes it open from the force of the impact. We will not stop searching as we cannot lose such a special woman. I believe somewhere in this big world somebody knows why this happens to my wife. The medical people we have seen and there have been many don't seem to have any answers for us. Thank you again for your concern. Yes you are right I have a fantastic family and this is what helps us all to keep going. Take care of yourself...

@@pinnerphotography Listen, I'm just a stranger on the internet but I will help you if I possibly can. How can I be in touch?

@@blackprimeminister We are all strangers until we get to know each other. You can message me anytime.

Thank you Simon from Ascend Productions. Try it out and let me know how it works for you?

Yes it was disappointing

Thank you for your comment Karl W. Yes I have heard of a cyclist's foot slipping off the peddle and the airbag deploys, also a lady who was wearing hers and went into a shop to buy a drink when she bent down it also deployed. So yes it is a fantastic system, but far too expensive for the number of false deployments!! The search for the answer will go on. The medical world can not give us a diagnosis of help.

I'm not a Hövding user, as i'm currently researching wether to buy one. However Hövding is very very clear that the product is only for cycling. And you should only have the Hövding activated while you are cycling, so not mounting the bike, not when going into the shop, not when hugging a friend whilst on a bike, not while bending forward to tie your shoes. I'm sorry to hear that this product didn't work (and I only found your channel since you had commented on a Hövding video), however it's extremely clear that this product is only to be used whilst cycling.

Yes indeed!!

Thank you Marc for your kind words and your support

Thank you Marc glad to be of help to you!!

You are so welcome Bruce what a great name to live up to. Glad to be of help

You are most welcome. I hope it helped you out.

Thank you TheSlinkyBinky I am so glad this has helped you and some others. As for the others some people just like to knock others for trying to help!! So glad to be helpful to you. Take care and be safe in these strange times. My wife has just told me I need to change the head light on the drivers side now. Wish me luck.

Yes I agree with you it is not a very well Thought Out design but as long as you got it done sorry about the hands hopefully the cuts are not too deep and will heal soon

Thank you for your comment. Do you think it would have helped or been quicker to remove the battery?

@@pinnerphotography I guess it would've helped but since I am not that good at removing car components I am actually very pleased that I've managed to replace those bulbs without removing the battery. The space for working is quite restricted, and my thin fingers did help me 😊

@@ciprividi661 Thats great as long as you got it done all is well.

@@pinnerphotography Yes, indeed. I am so eager to work on replacing the indicator lights as those seem to be even more fun to work on.

@@ciprividi661 Good Luck

You are most welcome I am glad to be of service

Sorry to hear this happened to you it did not happen when I did it so sorry I could not comment on it but I hope you got it done in the end and certainly a lot cheaper than sending your car to a garage to have it dismantled to replace one little cheap bulb

You are welcome Pat

Chris Isaac good luck

More like seventeen quid

@@pinnerphotography2580 And they lost two bulbs down the engine tray. So Halfords was a waist of time!!

Couple of quid 😂. Times 10. Rather do it myself than pay Halfrauds a "couple of quid"

Mr Jolly glad it was of some help to you. Thanks for your kind comment

Cool

Not with my hamhock hands lol

You might be able to do them all without taking anything out if you're careful but if you have a jack and tools might actually be easier to do it the way they say in the haynes and remove the headlight itself. Also if you remove the battery before you do that check if you have a security coded radio that you have the code. Otherwise if you disconnect the battery you might not be able to use the radio without the code

And lastly, check your battery voltage before you start and if you wanna check the lights are working after the job do that with the engine running so alternator is charging the battery. I replaced the dipped bulb, left lights running for 30s tops without engine idling and it drained the battery enough that I had to jump start it. You want to have at least 12.6V on the battery to be safe before testing with car stationary. 55W each bulb is about a 9A draw just on dipped.

yeahalex thanks got your feedback. Well done

Thanks for your feedback everything helps in situations like this well done

No problem thanks for the video, really useful! Just thought these tips might help someone as well :)

Well done Matt you sorted that problem out

Did you use a mirror or your phone to see what you were doing? Do that and you should be able to see well enough to get clip back in

Bumper off and headlight out is the best way though if you can raise the car. It's defo possible without but it is fiddly

Hah, i remember changing my bulb the first time i lost the clip it fell into the engine compartment. At the time you couldn't buy them on there own so renault dealer said i needed a whole unit.... stripped the undercover off and found it. Now dont listen to anyone that says you don't remove them because you can. They don't do it because its a bugger to get in. You need to squeeze the bottom pins together and slot them into the two holes at the bottom of the holder, it may be at the top in your case then the clip kinda swings. You should get a good light and a mirror so you can see what your doing. It's a real pita. Then you put the bulb in and push it back in. I don't listen to mechanics. Cam belt went on my car and they said scrap it or pay £2k for an engine to be put in. I went online googled and watched videos on how to rebuild an engine £250 later and shes been running for another 100k. don't get ripped off!

Great Boodle Avis that is why I decided to put the Vid up to help other normal people like ourself. I was told I had to take the car to a mechanic to get the job done?? Glad it helped you.

Thank you for your comment Lulian. You are correct it is a bit excessive to change a bulb, the manufactures should think of it.

Cool

yes that is it pretty easy once you have done it wish you luck

Yes sorry for late reply was away in Africa

That makes me happy so glad it worked for you, and this is what makes the web so great!!

how does the washer tank spout remove? thanks

sandydogy Just give it a pull and it’ll come off

sandydogy You will also have to take the bolt/screw that holds it in off, almost forgot about that

thanks

How did you manage to change both bulbs do share your knowledge?????

mechanics mirror and small hands easy

Good idea foe all the people with a mechanics mirror and small hands. Thanks

Tried that Martin works on passenger side but the battery box will not allow you to do it on the driver side. I fount this way to be the easiest way. But i ma no expert what ever work for anyone else is best for them.
