    I'm still admiring that flicker! That's a nice purple band all the way across.

    Really? I figured the quad LED will probably out-do the single HID even being a tuned RX projector. Have you had a chance to drive with the quads yet?

    No, they we're in for a moment to test fit/allign.. then back out. They both have a great cutoff but it seems like the RX's have a more distributed and even light. Idk, Still too early to tell. Once I get gen in and drive around I can make a more accurate comparison.

    Low profile grill marker lights a la Raptor!

    All of your designs have been exceptional. OEM light designers should be on notice.

    Thank you. Funny you mention that, I have 3 Baja design Amber rock lights in route that I'm going to fab up in my grill. Should compliment the Amber Led DRL bar.

    Looks good. Is the outside Angel eye a little brighter or is that just the photo?

    They are identical, so it's The camera. I just threw them in to get an idea of what it'll look like. (Actually, the fitment and light output is not up to par for me so I have some COB rings ordered)
    But it does look cool with dual angry halos!
    Also, I sprayed another layer of tint on the halo diffusers.. I want them to blend in when off. Sacrificed a little light output, but the new COB's should shine through enough.
    Can't wait until all 4 are lit up.:bananadance:

    Man, you're killing it. I do think them being blended in and not standing out when turned off is going to look much better. Can't wait to see them finished and lit up either!

    Gracias. This is the final revision... I think it flows pretty good.

    Damn it's dark.
    Now the fun part of deciding which light will function in what mode. DRL, parking, and Headlight on.
