    White. While the upper pattern is 5700-5800k (much improved from the D-Series) the lower pattern while less intense is quite a bit higher in color temp.

    Not without custom fab.

    While the 360 series have the highest raw output and highest pattern area, peak intensity is down on preliminary measurements from the D-series, because the light is covering such a larger area. For a complete review I’ll need to remove the lights from my truck to do a side-by-side comparison.

    Edit: I think the wider beam will be nice. I really like the output of the cube selective yellow. These look like the pattern will cover so much more.

    The 360 pattern is actually so much wider, I need to pull the other vehicle out and move stuff for photos. As far as SAE area coverage, it really puts all other lights to shame. But nothing is free, the more area you cover the more the intensity is reduced.

    This is great! The brightest fog doesn't win the game. its the beam pattern guys!

    Fogs are here to supplement the headlights. an overpowered foreground will hurt your vision distance. this is good news

    They will cover more area for sure, but I think there is value in the D-series higher focused intensity as well. So for best of both worlds the only logical option is to run both of course. I’m hoping to bring a bracket to market to mount pods in the lower grill valence, allowing secondary aux fogs, though per federal motor vehicle regulations only one pair of aux lights is to be used at a time.
