Cool! Can't wait... PM on the way. Did everybody end up going with the reverse lights?

I hope so; looks like all ten sets have them....

One guy is still to pay Dan for the lights, which Dan has paid for and sent. I'm sure you know who you are so please Paypal him asap. I'm not going to send them to you until he has been paid. Thanks!

installed mine...I wasn't part of the group buy but I really like them. They were stupid easy to install. Before I had all LEDs installed in the regular tail lights.

Duh, there's the pic. Sorry.

Are you getting Specter guards for them or leaving them like that? At $220, I'd want more than just the clear plastic out there to protect them.

I had all LED globes in my original factory housings too, but these are far brighter. Do you like them?

Absolutely, the Man a Fre guards I have are more for the bottom sides. I really like the lights, by far the brightest I've seen out there. I am sure all the guys that bought them will be happy.

Anyone tried these guards from metric? A lot cleaner than SOR but $15 more.

Shane makes really nice stuff, but I've not seen them. Knowing Shane though, I'd guess they are seriously detailed and OCD. Given Jetranger's issues, the key would be whether they are any smaller than the SOR guards.

I'd bet Shane's shipping would be way cheaper , lol .

My LED tail lights and Spector guards are both at the house, but I'm not. Can't wait to get home and put them on.

Thanks again to Dan and Josh for doing this.

Hmmm, somewhere I saw a comparison photo to the SOR units. Did I dream that?

All we need are measurements. I'd bet Shane would be happy to do it if you rang.

Thanks Chamba, got mine in. Did some shenanigans with them.

Sweet! Nice work. Are you happy with them?

I guess that's what 20 hours of daylight can do for projects. When I was flying up in Alaska I was always amazed how much we'd get done after midnight when the Sun was a bit lower.

I slapped those together in about 2 hours of so. They are a little bigger than I would like, but I am please other than that. What were you flying up here?

As far a guards go they look the same. But as far as detail and finish go, mine are superior in detail, forming, cleaned up welds, sand blasted and powder coated. SOR's are great and do the job as they were intended to. I designed these years ago for a resto and wanted a cleaner look.

If anyone needs measurements, let me know and I'd be happy to help.
