    Are the optics available in both spot and flood? Will the SR optics be as well?

    My AVEC 30" combo beam light bar came in yesterday! Still waiting for mounts to get it installed but it looks to be pretty nice. I can't wait to see it lit up. :stoked!!!

    I also received my switch for my underhood lights and I hope to get that project done over the weekend.

    Combo yessir. I can't commit to SR optics just yet so I'm not sure.

    Me too..

    Brightness wise, what do the LED bulbs compare to in terms of HID?

    Much appreciated. For $100 for a pair of these that's about what I'll pay for the HID, plus having to change my headlights over.

    Mike, what is the rough comparison for these to an HID in Kelvins?

    Change your headlights over? They're closer to a 5k but we have to label them as a 6k since there is a tiny smidge of blue.

    I have stock headlights now, so to go HID I'd need projectors. I bought a set of aftermarkets but if the HID kit goes for about $100 for bulbs/ballasts I'm where I would be on LED.

    The difference would be just replacing bulbs on LED versus having to swap the headlights and wire them up to go HID.

    I don't love the stock lights but they work..don't care enough to replace them just for aesthetics really.

    Can't wait to see pics of how the LEDs look in the stockers before I decide

    Hey Mike, I'm interested in the headlight bulbs. Do you have any pics of them installed or any more details. Also, how would I purchase them? Thanks!

    Well... You've had these things for a solid 24 hours, where is the extensive review with photos?

    I haven't received them yet! :annoyed: They should arrive this afternoon though.. :rolleyes:

    What I will likely do is snap some pics and post them in my build and then put together an entire "mini-how-to" to post here with all the pics, issues (should any arise, but they're AVEC man :thumbsup: I don't expect any issues) and just post it here.

    They are talking 5-6" of snow here Sunday so I should have them installed Saturday and put together the write up on Sunday.

    Nice! I'm sure they'll be great, just curious to see what they look like and what the light output looks like. I don't have a lot of room behind my headlights so I do want to see what these things look like.

    Mike, do you have matching LED fog lights also? Because you know as soon as I change the headlights, they're going to make my fog lights look like shit so I'll need to change them also.

    Geek house is out first guinea pig here on the forum. I've gone through plenty of my wholesale shops with them but don't have any images.

    When you're ready, you'll just order through me :)
