    Is the housing waterproof? If not how are you sealing the chip all up?

    Hard to tell the optics, is it a spot or a flood beam?

    All contact points have been sealed. The chips work underwater so thats not an issue. The optics are a 60deg lense

    I think people want to see the actually light itself. As in the housing and or body and how you intend to mount them to the truck. So far you’ve provided blurry pictures looking directly at the light turned on which amounts to a ufo sighting or a picture of Bigfoot.

    While I’m sure your attempt to share information was well intentioned, you’ve provided no actual information other than technical specs for these mysterious lights. You said you’re not a “professional thread builder” so let me give you some advice:
    The best and most informative threads here are quick to the point (what are you doing?). They also provide instructions for people to follow along and be able to recreate your project (how are you doing it?) or at least links to products used and/or where to buy so they can do their own research.

    Until now this information has been missing from your thread.

    On the other side of the coin, if you don’t want people to copy your work and just want people to marvel at you ingenuity or intend to sell these lights, at least show a finished product and/or provide an estimated price point.

    This might explain the lackluster response you’ve had so far.
