That would mean alot just to see this in person. You my sire are a n inspiration to all of us. Congrats.
WOW, man that is a big compliment ! Thank you

So a big congratulations to all of you that have the means down there.
Thanks man !

Dakota Digital has been great to me, i had better stick with their lights ! and Fesler but i had the DD lights before i got the sponsorship from Fesler

how about a set of led to put back to fill in that lense..

The only way to get the light spread lower though would be to build light housings that are open top to bottom. We can see the shape of the OEM light housing in there with it lit up. If you could open the housing up to match the shape of the lense and then used 2 or 3 lower intensity lights it would spread the light out more evenly and be something only nuts like us would notice. Could be a new product line for somebody.
I agree that would work well !
Please send royalties to hgs_notes@yahoo.com via paypal. Thank you.
LOL...SLOSH LIGHTS??

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

i vote for going back to DD and seeing if they have an alternative to one bright light. does the light you have now still use the stock housing?

Mike, it seems everything you do just takes it up one more notch. This truck is absolutely incredible brother. Great Job. You deserve every compliment as the attention to detail is top notch.
