    Thank you.
    No issues with heat off the ignites. They are very efficient and do not get hot at all. Plus there is ample room inside around the light housing.
    wait for another set to hit the marketplace. This was for my personal build, and I've only done a few other sets.

    A side effect... wonder if there would be enough heat to defrost the mirrors? Those w/o heated mirrors might appreciate a simple burst (couple of minutes of course) from their ditch lights to defrost early on cold mornings. :) I do have heated mirrors so not an issue here, just curious and I like multi-use items/systems.

    Did you use Rigid Floods or Spots?

    For the Radiantz, do you think Sidewinderz would work to save money? Maybe the 3.5” version.

    @mesojdm

    I caught the pricing(material) of your setup.

    If you make another set(with, it withoi6the puddle lights), I'd certainly be game.

    And yeah. I'm dragging a thread back from the grave....

    If you look at his first post pic #4 you will see its mounted with the supplied hardware. You have to drill a hole for that and a lower one for the wire.

    The new design doesn't matter. You can only see the light, not the bezel.

    debating the flush mounts or not. downside to those is you cant adjust the height. the upside is they mount straight to the bezel... choices choices....

    The next step would be to have motorized aimable recessed ditch lights controlled by the mirror joy stick on the arm rest with another toggle switch to switch from mirrors to lights.
