Clean!

 

hmmmm.....got me thinking.

 

Ill be getting those myself. They're at an excellent price point and good reviews

 

The lumen may be fairly accurate on the eagle eyes. Each 5630 LED is rated at 24 lumen and there are 6 of them.

The big question for me is will 6 chips that close together start cooking themselves. My amber lights have 6 LED's and have been working great since I installed them.

I don't have any Oznium LEDs but they look like a good company. They claim to make some of their products in-house. Theirs is a 2 LED housing, so it makes sense you get less light output.

 

Thanks again George. Really appreciate the help.

 

My under mirror puddle lights are Ozniums. My under bumper lights are the cheapo Amazon Eagle Eyes. Ask me which ones need replaced.

 

the latter?

 

No problemo. I'm not an expert in LEDs but I do love to play with them. I'm just a guy with a bag full of Chinese LEDs and too much time on my hands.

 

Im going on 4 years with the Oznium ones no problem. The bumper lights need redone already after a few months. I ordered more Oznium LEDs to replace them.

 

Think you may have sold me.

 

I'm sure Oznium has much better quality control than anything I get from AliExpress. My thinking has always been test with the cheap stuff, go permanent with domestic. If any of my LEDs go out and I like their location, I go with US stuff. Oznium has decent prices and I really like they are a bunch of gearheads in the US. Checkout the CREE company and you will find they are also US based.

 

Call and ask for susan. She gave me a killer discount when I was making bed lights

 

Thanks Nick.
Deliberating what I want to do.....considering pods for the lower valance now. 2".
I do want the puddle lights in the door, but now thinking the mirrors may be a good place too. Why not both?
Then.....the aux fuse block. That has to be soon.

 

If you want both, we should do them at the same time.

 

Agree.
Spaghetti party!

 

I have puddle lights in my mirrors and LED strips along the bottom of each door.

Mirror lights are nice for when the doors are closed. They light up the outside of the door/ground. The under door panel lights are nice because they light up between the door and body when the doors open. This is nice for hunting/fishing/camping/dropping stuff out the cab in the dark. Both are tied into the lock/unlock on the dome light.

 

Nice! I like that.
