    Looks good. :thumbsup:

    I went though a blue phase a long time ago. To me the blue light is kind of harsh and is hard on the eyes, that's one reason I have red interior lighting now.

    I haven't sat in it for long yet. It probably will be a little harsh, but for as cheap as they are I didn't figure it would hurt to try different colors. I'm running out of little things to do to the truck. haha

    blue is on the darker side of the color spectrum that's why it's not great to use for headlights etc... It'll make you squint more because your eyes are trying to absorb more light which the blue doesn't provide.

    I've also read that it is difficult for the human eye to focus on blue light, maybe because of the shorter wavelength. I'll stick with my much longer wavelength red.

    Interesting. May ditch them soon than expected. I've read that green is supposed to be easier seen. Something about it's wavelength being picked up better by our eyes. Lots of scopes and sights have added green reticles.

    Yep. The human eye is most sensitive to green light, and more sensitive to red than blue. The nice thing about red light is that it doesn't cause the iris to constrict so you don't lose your night vision even in fairly intense red light. :cool:

    That sucks... I hate to have those lights for oncoming traffic. I see what you mean. Screw that. Can you modify the housing or change the housing to make these better? I hate to scrap them considering the price tag that I have coughed up. Maybe they will be special occasion lights like night wheeling or lake side beach party lights.

    While I got some of you guys here, I'm replacing leaf packs yet again.....I think i've narrowed to down to Alcan or AllPro for expedition use. Any of you all have any experience with these or any suggestions?

    Is there anyway you can return them and get some morimoto fogs? It's an entire LED fog housing. Gives a proper cut off line and looks bad ass.
