    Kudos for originality. How much did they set you back?

    They are aftermarket Jeep housings. Mine were pulled apart to paint, but if you're worried about needing to return them, you don't have to paint them and no other modification was required to them besides epoxying them into the bowl

    Wow! Super unique! I wonder how they diffuse light at night.

    I think I dig them. :)

    How did you modify the wiring to your electrical harness? I doubt it was plug and play.

    when you post night shots, can you post shots against a wall so we can see the cutoff?

    Also, can you snap a picture of the back of the headlight?

    They look darn cool imho. However I am curious to see the actual output and the important cut off on those. I am curious to know if your builder aimed and leveled them properly as well. Can you even do that with those lights? They look like a pretty sweet set of lights dedicated for off-roading. Get us some night shots and also against a wall, I'd love to see how the light lines up against on coming traffic.

    Great job

    Kind regards
    RAD

    I saw this once on Instagram. I think it looks pretty badass and totally different. It would've been cool to add a halo around them as well.

    Aw....that's disappointing. Thanks for the output shots though! Really was looking for a nice cutoff. Those are more of flood light types, not really driving lights it seems.
