    Let me know what shots you want specifically and I'll try to take them with the same settings as before.

    Wattage is 111 each or roughly 7.5A.

    We used the Dually Harness (40196) with a larger fuse.

    Thanks... comparing low and high beam with the aux. lights shows the difference... maybe play with the aiming?

    111 watts from an LED? That seems backwords, as my 35 watt HIDs are brighter than my 100 watt halogen. LEDS use less wattage than HID for more light. Please double check that and any other specs. This is an interesting light set. Thank you!

    I'll try and do that over the weekend.

    The specs are correct. Each light has 37, 3W CREE's. That's 111W for each light. I know this since we tried to run the pair and blew a few 10A fuses (it's all we had or too big).

    Thank you! Because of the holiday season, money is tight for luxury stuff for me, but add me as a maybe in case someone wants to know what I want for Christmas, lol.

    What is the 'normal' price when there is no group buy? If these things are any good, and the housing or mounts don't break when off roading (like the Kragen HIDs did), you have a large market ahead of you.

    What other products do you sell or how did you get into selling these lights?

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Could you get a measurement from the base to the top of the light? I want to make sure they will fit. Side to side and front to back would be nice to if you don't mind

    I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well!

    I'll put you on the maybe list. I don't have a none group buy price because I don't do this for a living. From time to time I run into an opportunity for something that has helped me in a hobby (either something I make or something I find) and I try to pass it along to others. I figured I'm not the only one with a certain problem and some else needs the same solution.

    In this case I wanted some bright lights to put on my bumper. I was going to buy the expensive name brand set, but I wanted to find an alternative set to save some money. I have a few friends that have products made in China that are of high quality so I came across a reputable manufacture/supplier.

    Myself and two of my friends bought 3 sets of lights and I was amazed at how great these turned out. They are very high quality and have held up great in a variety of conditions, including a week long trip to Death Valley where they were not babied.

    Anyways, I figured there may be others that want lights like these. I wouldn't put these up if I wouldn't spend my own cash on them. I already have a set so I can vouch for them and I can answer any questions.

    If I ever get enough money to sink into some inventory I may order a few sets, but for the time being I will run a GB to save everyone money.

    I'll get some tomorrow! Rough measurements I would say are 11" tall, 9" wide and 3" deep. I'll confirm later though.

    One thing I noticed is I had these before ARB announced their new ones which look identical to these. The previous model was a 32LED version so I thought I was getting a better light with 37 when I bought them.

    I can check, but those are the 32 LED version which are not as bright as the ones I have.

    I wouldn't feel comfortable doing a GB in those because I haven't actually seen them in person. I would assume they are the same quality as the ones I have if they came from the same manufacturer, but I like to be sure if I am asking you to spend money.

    Those are have 32 LED's, the ones I bought have 37 LED's.

    At SEMA ARB just came out with a 37 model and I purchased these before they had announced them.

    Here's a pic of the actual light, you can count 37 LED's while the two you posted have 32.

    EDIT:

    I don't want to spread misinformation. I looked up the new lights from ARB and they are actually smaller. The largest light they have is a 32LED so these are different than what they offer.

    I don't want to spread misinformation. I looked up the new lights from ARB and they are actually smaller. The largest light they have is a 32LED so these are different than what they offer.

    I'd also like to avoid representing these lights as ARB. I don't have any intention to sell them as ARB lights or knockoffs. These are made in China and the only lights comparable on the market are most notably from ARB and Aurora. So please take them for what they are, round LED lights.

    Thanks for all the interest guys! Let's make this happen, I only need one more person to do a small run. The supplier is giving us a discount so they can move inventory before the end of the year.

    Ok guys a quick update:

    I checked in with the supplier on these lights and they are actually 37, 5W CREE's here are the specs I was given:

    I have some one else going in on 3 lights and I am going to get shipping rates as well.

    For those on the fence waiting for some more shots, it's been raining and I haven't been able to get some night shots. Let me know if there are any other questions!
