Re: Led Headlights

Polycarbonite is that another name for plastic? If so, the only drawback for me as they look great. But against a plastic lens personally.

Polycarbonite is Lexan. Really really tough plastic.

Re: Led Headlights

Yep, polycaronite is shatter resistant, impact resistant, if something is clear and intended to survive being shot at, it almost always is constructed mostly of polycarbonite. A 1/4" of polycarbonite will probably stop a higher calibre bullet than a 1/4" of aluminum. Downside, it's not very scratch resistant.

Re: Led Headlights

Is that prone to the hazy, cloudy you see on the newer cars?

Re: Led Headlights

It is, but polycarb also polishes easily.

Re: Led Headlights

Very cool. I just don't like the brand logo across the front. Being in the Army i've become accustomed to the no visible brands on clothing rule. Otherwise a very functional and non energy taxing idea.

Re: Led Headlights

Those are pretty cool. I have a JW speaker light on my harley, and keep thinking about it for my truck, but honestly I think they're ugly, and SOO expensive. I couldn't help but notice no pricing on the site you posted.

Re: Led Headlights

I thought they were a hard find but got to looking around and trucklit sells them to with out the logo found them on ebay for 390 a set. Read some reviews and everyone says you need to buy the anti fliker kit for around 60

I have the truck-lite led assemblies on my jeep wrangler. They are very bright. But they have a very annoying flaw (which truck lite says is normal) where the reflector design creates an 'X' in the middle of each beam. It sucks. I don't drive at night that often. But if I did, I would sell these stupid lights. They say only the more recent versions of the reflectors have this side effect. The reflectors on the ones linked above look exactly like the truck lites. I bet they are just rebranded.

They are really high build quality though to their credit. (The truck lites are)

If you search the internet for something about these lights with an x in the beam, you will find threads that talk about it.

You don't need the anti flicker kit. It is for newer cars with can bus. I didn't need it on my 2006 rubicon lj wrangler. And our c10's wouldn't need it either.
