    not much yet!
    still waiting for that late night, no sun, 12am photo lol I want to see how much it spreads light behind the truck if possible. Will it assist in lighting up the bed at night? Will it assist in lighting up the background in reverse at night? I know...I'm picky and its still only a prototype. :crapstorm:

    Did you use silcone to seal it? Is there another method so it doesn't look so messy

    That shit can be wiped off before it dries, I'm more curious why there looks to be a gap on the lower edge as compared to the top? or if the pics/shadowing just make it look funny.

    I was wondering the same thing. Looks like a decent gap all the way across the bottom as well

    Prototype. It's the shadow making it look like there's a gap. I was really messy with the rtv. I dropped one of the bolts right when I was installing and it really made it hard to not get everywhere.


    The released version is going to have some changes.

    Awesome, I might try out cutting some neoprene rubber sheet to the size/shape of the housing to act as a seal whenever these make it to fruition for 2nd gens/3rd gen AC.

    I have a alpha version printing now. Made some tweaks, including;
    -Mounting holes spaced to 9.75" (from 9.5)
    -Weather stripping channel narrower for perfect fit of 1/8" weather stripping
    -rounded some edges
    -3 middle mounting holes threaded to M6 so no nut/bolt needed.


    And Logos of course!

    How many these guys you think have dropped the headliner. I was wondering if yours has permanent creases in it now
