ARCHIVE Owl plug-and-play LX courtesy/puddle replacement and rock lights

do you have a comparison between the 10 LED bar and the 6 LED bar?

I will definitely like to get on that list as well.

I'll add you to the list. I don't have a comparison yet, but hope to get one soon. These take a long time to make so I haven't even made a set for myself yet. I'll probably do that this coming weekend and hook up one side with 10s and one side with 6s and take a night time photo.

That would be perfect! I miss my old running lights!

But man! Take care of you!

Got mine today and installed in 40 mins or so. Only way it could be easier is if @Ramathorn15 installed them for me. I can't wait to see them at night. Great job on this quality add on.

I received my set on Monday and installed them today. Thanks for the high quality product Rami. I'll have to take a picture and post to this thread. Very nice plug an play lights.

I'm anxious to get mine!

 

[Ramathorn15]

Finished up two more sets tonight. Just waiting on people to respond to my PMs!

I need to get some sliders, but can I put my name in the queue now?

Sure can! They work with or without sliders. I need to take you up on lunch but week days are tough for me. I'm usually scrambling to eat anything I can because I get so busy at work.

I hear ya man. We will get something sorted out. This weekend is toast for me. I want to wait to install and do it right once on sliders, but happy to buy them before. Let me talk to the boss about the following weekend.

Hey @Ramathorn15 I know you're busy and I'm not in a hurry. Apologize as I've asked before and I saw in the thread someone else did as well a couple weeks after I did. My spot in line is approaching so if possible would like to see the difference in the 10 vs 6 light output. I'm leaning towards the 6 LED, I can't imagine it is an extreme difference but want to get an idea. Thanks, appreciate the work, fun to see.

Sorry about that. I keep thinking to do this but forget before sending out the brackets. I have 3 sets of brackets ready to go so I'll wire up 6 and 10 on either side this weekend. Probably Sunday evening.

 

[taco47001]

Not the best pic and it doesn't at all do them justice but they are BRIGHT! These are the 6".

Man is this setup slick. 4 bolts each side and they are on. The brackets line up perfectly and the wiring is top notch.

Not a problem, like I said understandable. You probably don't have to bother hooking them up since @taco47001 posted his. Save the time. Go ahead and put together mine with the 6 LED setup when you come to me.

Oh ok you went with the 6, thanks for posting. They are bright.

Thanks for posting a photo! Yours are the 10 LED, about 6" long ones. The ones @92LXAZ is talking about are the smaller 6 LED ones. I have the 6 LED ones but haven't wired a set up yet. I'll likely do that tomorrow while I finish up the next 3 sets.

Gotcha! I was deff confused and thinking it was 6" vs 10", not the amount of LED's in the light haha. I was asking myself "why would anyone need/ want something brighter than the sun, which these are, under their truck" haha

I went to the reds game a few nights ago and there was a guy walking close to my truck as the family and I approached. I hit the unlock button and it looked like my truck was being elevated by a cloud of white. The dude said it instantly made him think of the Movie Jaws and that boat that lights up the whole ocean. haha

You should see how people look at me when I turn on UFO landing mode.

I'll probably yank most of those off when I get around to making myself a set of the puddle lights though.

Ahh thanks for clarifying, didn't see the 'inch' designation.

Driver side is 10 LED and passenger is 6 LED.

I did my best to focus on the same spot on either side so it would be as representative as possible. The 6 LED barely less bright, the biggest difference is the gap in the lights casted on the ground. I honestly would just go with 10 because it looks cleaner having a consistent straight line front to back. I believe it's because they're so close to the ground, it's hard to tell a big difference.

 

[Ramathorn15]

Also, a tip for future installs: I find it easier to get them installed if you put the bracket on the threaded post first, then swing it up to line the second hole up.

Here is what a 6led looks like on the bracket. I didn't bolt it down since it was just for testing.

These also reflect a nice amount of light off the ground and make the entire undercarriage more visible. Could be useful for inspecting underneath in any situation

This the puddle lights reflecting off the concrete in the garage and lighting up the undercarriage

I'm interested in a set, add my name to the list.
