    Will defiantly be placing an order for 12-15. Really leaning towards the PnP connector. Hope it can ship out in time. Is the 16W just as good as the 18W white LED pod?

    No the 16W is not as bright as the 18W, it is a 4 LED light while the 18W is a 6 LED light.

    @MojaveMadman Nice thank you for the insight. I will go big or go home and opt for 18w. Will the PnP connection be available once you release the 12-15?

    It is scheduled to be here one week late. Once they arrive and I verify them I will place them on my website for you guys to purchase. They will include free shipping so it will be at no cost to you guys if you get it separate.

    I plan to get the PNP through you. Hopefully I'll have everything installed and ready for me to just add the pigtail in once it arrives!

    Ya I did the same thing, loosen the nut so you can pull forward about a 1/4" then adjust them. Then push in and tighten up!

    Seriously wanting these. But, Im trying to decide which to get. Im stuck between the regular or amber 18 watt. My morning drive takes me on a pretty dark road and usually use my brights. But would rather use these. Also, we get alot of snow here and Im new to driving in the snow. Does the amber make that big of a difference? Or do I get a LED bar AND the ambers. Damn Im gonna go broke. Also waiting for the plug and play.

    So the fog pods are not going to be a night and day difference as far as total light goes. They are great for filling in some closer areas around the truck if you go white light. If it is an area you use brights in, you will still need them more than likely. The amber beams however do a great job of providing light in areas where you have a high glare (snow, rain, fog) and allow you to see better without reflecting back as much and blinding you.

    My recommendation to you, sorry bring your wallet, is a bar and the pods. This is a best case scenario if you are trying to maximize light output, so I am not trying to sell you the world here. Just want to explain how each product works and helps.

    - 32" lower grill mounts and LED - For you, using the brights a lot, it sounds like you need some good distance lighting. the Stealth mounts with a 4D Optic Spot will allow you to see way down the road. This would be great for night driving down long empty roads or in the dirt going fast. The 3D provides good flood lighting if it's the only thing you buy, it is a good jack of all trades light. But we are talking ultimate setup right!

    - 18W Amber fogs - As mentioned above for cold/wet environments where there is a lot to reflect off of. These with low beams will really increase your ability to see.

    - 18W White pods on ditch mounts - This is the last part of the puzzle. Amazing for seeing what lurks on the sides of the road. Point them outward and they will show you all the animals, holes, ditches, etc that you don't get from normal forward facing lights. These are great for fire roads, dark roads where animals pop out, and just lighting up the world, haha.

    This is the exact setup I have on my truck, it's seriously awesome!!!! And yes I can sell it all to you, haha. If I picked just one, 32" 3D spot/flood combo to give you a little boost everywhere. Pick two, add the ambers if in a wet place, do ditch if you do a lot of back roads.

    Im actually leaning in this direction. Will wait for the PNP option for the fogs to pull the trigger. Dont really want to install ditch lights, dont want them to get jacked while Im parked.
