Pictures of the lights, take 1, as I'm loading these pictures up right now and see them on my computer screen vs. my phone I can tell they look like crap, I am going to take some more pictures tonight perhaps.
Headlights only: (E code Hellas with inexpensive LED H4 bulbs from Amazon and dedicated circuit)
Compared to stock halogen sealed beam headlights, these things are like taking a chunk of the sun and strapping it to the front of my rig. I don't know how anyone drives with the old sealed beam headlights in these rigs. With the weather we get here in the PNW and the rain, I just see that as dangerous. Besides being about 3 or 4 times brighter, the pattern is much more usable. See below, the non-E Code headlights on the left just toss out a blob of light but more importantly, it's all concentrated up high. The E Code headlights have a sharp cut off to avoid blinding other drivers and put more light on the road in front of you.
In the picture above "stock" is the normal US headlight pattern. "Autopal" is the E Code pattern. I lifted this pic from another dude here on Mud... thanks!
Headlights with fog lights:
(Sorry, crappy focus that I only realize now that I'm putting them up on the big screen. I'll get updated ones tonight.)
Much better fill down low and to the sides. It may seem like they're brighter but I think my camera focused on something different than in my first picture. Again, updated pictures to come.
Headlights on high beam with KC Daylighters which automatically turn on when my high beams are selected.
I could probably stand to aim the KC lights a bit higher but have not done so yet. They are so incredibly bright that if I turn them on when I'm driving the power of the lights pushing forward slows my vehicle down and I have to downshift. (not really but they are super bright)
Headlights and fog lights:
I've looked at these from a vehicle driving by and the cut off is so sharp that they look dimmer than most other headlights on the road from other driver's perspective. In my opinion that is just as important. Blinding other drivers is not cool. This set up gives me plenty of light down the road and keeps it out of other people's eyes.
More to come, just wanted to share.
Happy Cruisering!
