Hump Day!

 

I installed LED headlights yesterday. Fuckers are bright!

 

I see Big Bear is on the ballad

 

Mmmhmmmm

 

These fellas were eyeballing Cleghorn? I can't make it either way, unfortunately.

 

Do Cleghorn. I still can't guarantee I'll be ready for any meets anytime soon and I don't want to miss anymore Big Bear meets

 

Cleghorn is this weekend.

I believe the poll is for the next larger meet. Still no date set.

 

Ah ok. Either way I'm still aways from being offroad ready. Gotta get some new cams which means I'll probably have to put it through a break in period

 

Yes

 

I want one on my rig down the line but I don't know if I like the look on 5th gens

Make sure you adjust your headlight aiming. I know most people know this but I fucking hate driving in front of people with improperly aimed LED or HID bulbs.

 

It was fun burning myself on the LED driver last night but I did aim them. My stock bulbs were higher than these are now since my rear springs settled.

 

My lights are aimed super low right now because I aimed them when I had the tent on top. When I got the rig they were aimed straight up haha

 

The snorkel helps

 

I used to drive a small car so I've always had sympathy for folks getting blinded. I turn off headlights in drive thrus so I can get closer for everyone's sake, I click them off in parking lots and things when I see I might flash someone full on.

I have the fogs on separate power so they stay on nearly always, it's nice. The LEDs are just flat brighter either way. Not much can be done, but at least now they're aimed better

 

Previous owner put 3000k HIDs in the fogs. They are so hot that they melt the lens. They are great for off-road, but they aren't in projectors so they blind people. I keep them off all the time.

In the end I want this set up.

Headlights: 5000k HID
Fogs: 5000k rigid DOT approved pods
Bumper Bar: 27" 3000k Morimoto bar
Roof bar: 40" 3000k/5000k combo bar

I have the roof bar and headlights done. Dogs and bumper will be done once I get relentless's front bumper down the line.

 

These LEDs were 6500k WAY different from the stock fogs, certainly make all the old lighting look like a yellowy/orangey mess. I have a major aversion towards LED bars .

 

I love LEDs

 

As one of the lame people driving a small car everyday, I thank all of you for pointing your lights down
