    Not sure, but they have been crap up to this point.. poor optics, fogging and leaking are very common. Some reseller even suggest sealing them but they put that in fine print at the bottom of the sites.

    Maybe they will be better now, but id let someone else be guinea, or atleast save your stock housings for a while.
    Not talkin trash, just tryin to help if you dont know about their history with second gens. Wish ya the best, i do..... just keep the stockers handy for a bit.

    Anyone got more information on these? I saw a photo of them on Instagram claiming to be the first install, but I forgot who it was. I want a set, they look really good.

    Personal option here. Don't buy them. The OEM headlights are going to be superior in almost every conceivable way. But if you don't really care about headlight visibility/safety then by all means go for it. I do a lot of highway driving and when I'm pulling up beside a truck with those lights installed I can hardly tell they are even on untill I'm in front of them. But it's your truck if you want to go for them then by all means do it. On the plus side seems like you have quite the interest in the OEM lights to offset the cost of getting them.

    I agree, I am a big proponent of OEM parts. And ideally I would get the Pro headlights because I like the blacked out look. But for 3K Canadian + tax... it's out of the question for now. The ones I saw on IG, looked just like the Pro headlights with the projector, but the LED was extended over the top. Gave the truck an aggressive look. Was curious of what the price would be.

    Here is a pic of the headlights I saw FB, the DRL gives a pretty sweet look.

    I found my donor for the RLX retro. I just want them for the DRL. The output prob sucks just like all aftermarket

    Spyder finally made something look halfway decent. Almost looks like it could be OEM.
