Re: Barn raising

Just a little headlight update.
I had chosen form over function with the old headlights because I never really drove the truck at night. Recently I have started driving it more at night and it was pretty dangerous. The lights were little candles at best but my form over function frustrations were from liking the chrome half eyelid that the old lights had during the day time and the light that it restricted at night time.

I came across these LED projector lamps that have a great retro look but are modern LED projectors with crazy bright white light but the light comes out in a semicircle (flat on top, curved on the bottom) array so the super bright light does not blind oncoming traffic like a round wash array would. I am very happy with the look and the performance.
I had to cut the back of the bucket they sit in and I also had to toss the three pin stock plug but it was not too much trouble to fit in.

Re: Barn raising

The name of the light is Cyclops if you are looking on their site.

Nice, did they comp you those in exchange for using your pics on their site?!?

Do you have any pics that you can share with the lights on at night by chance? I just upgraded to 120W hella h4 lamps on my truck but tbh, they're not *that much* brighter than stock.
