    Hey Adam, we don't. Our pricing is already some of the lowest out there. Way cheaper than the big wigs!

    I admit I love the new headlights. Question: It looks like you put the carbon fiber hydrographics on the reflector in the headlight. It seems to me like that would restrict the output of the high beam. Have you tested/compared it to factory reflector high beam output?

    I gotta say if I had a 2nd gen I would have to SERIOUSLY consider these new lights. I like!

    Although I'd never run these on my truck, I can definitely appreciate hard work and innovation when I see it. Great job on these, guys. Looks killer! :thumbsup:

    Looks like they were hydro dipped, not sure if that's the same thing you mean though. I had planned on doing that for so long but these lights look pretty sick, obviously not for on-street use (legally anyway).

    with projectors the high beam is always on...there is only a "flap" that is cutting the light to make it a low beam so when you put your brights on the only thing that happens is the "flap" is moved down to project more light so the reflector bowl being painted doesnt affect light output at all..

    if im wrong please correct me because thats the impression that i get from reading about them

    for the out line of the DTRL (blinker) area are you using LED strips? its hard for me to tell but in the video those lines look so good and not broken up like a LED strip would be.
    looks to me like a CCFL strip but the only thing i could find on the cite were these
    http://ledconceptslighting.com/coll...ucts/rgb-concept-led-strips?variant=755950999

    was this the strip outlining the blinker area?
    thanks in advance

    when you run projectors, the bowl is useless when it comes to use as a reflector...the projector projects straight out.
    so like many, they paint it to hide the bowl.

    Yep. Light outputs from the projector. Doing a projector retrofit renders the bowl useless so you get to make it more aesthetically please.

    The strips used are our new Uber-Flex LED strips we will be releasing next week. So many LEDs it makes a straight line and extremely flexible. Oh the future!!

    Yeah, hydrodipped is just another name for what is called hydrographics.

    OK. I wasn't sure because my conversion (Albeit it is a 1st gen with modified sealed beam) has a projector for the low beam, but when I turn on the high beam, that parts is a halogen. That is why I asked. I wasn't familiar with the projector types for the 2nd gen. Thanks for the info!

    Nice headlights! I thought though, at least where I live, driving down the road with flashing reds and blues was reserved for emergency vehicles only. Would hate to get yanked from truck at gunpoint.

    Colors are installed for show purposes only. White and Amber are the only legal driving colors!

    And BamaToy...you can do a retrofit on any vehicle. These projectors are not specific for this vehicle. We can do them to any vehicle.

    ok. So give me an idea of what the cost would be for my 1997. I have the old-school sealed beam 7X6 headlights. Right now I am running a really cheap "projector" conversion that has that super cheap "lens" on the inside, and uses no shutter at all. I really hate them now.

    Good thing about that is you may be able to just buy a quality projector that is the similar size and just swap them out. If I'm not mistaken the retro fitting for first gen head lights is way less complex than the 2nd gens.
