    Anyone know what the thread pitch is coming out the side of most LED bars?

    Anyone know somebody with http://www.blackboxlogistics.com/index.html bars? I heard it mentioned once in here but it seems like more jeeps run them than anything. They have the exact bar i have been looking for but seem to be out of stock. Cannot get an email back either, wonder if they went out of business. A 10,000 lumen 20inch 10w would be amazing for $160 especially at a IP68 rating I've only been able to find those specs and price in IP67. And i really like the blacked out look around the reflector bowls since my new headlights and grill are black.

    I asked a couple manufacturers about possibly using the Black Chrome as a reflector instead of the standard chrome. Though it would help with them looking more discrete. Was basically laughed at.

    That would look awesome! but i could defiantly see a decrease in light output. The one i was looking at still has the chrome reflector bowl just the unused surrounding area is black.

    jeez that tacoma has more living area square footage then my apartment!



    I know what you mean, but I keep adding more lights. I want to eventually hook them up to a light controller like we have on the race trucks.

    Awesome. Seems way simpler than the other way I was looking at doing it with 2 relays and 2 diodes.

    I mentioned to someone else, you can do a setup where you have an 'ALL ON' switch, on with 'HIGH BEAMS' and individually switched. - The way I would do it would be this

    87a would be to the all on switch, and then coming off the headlight trigger -> have a diode inline to the 87a on both sides of the lines - that way it controls the direction of the power. Not triggering the high beams when it is on, and more importantly, not triggering the rest of the lights when the high beams are on.

    Something like that.

    about 15 years ago there was an electrical program where you could drop virtual components into it, build a circuit, and end up with animations as you were checking the circuits. Forgot the name, and am sure that it is all different now. But anyone know of a program like that. I could make some simple animations for the masses for different configurations.
