    Were you able to get the paint as glossy as you had hoped? Looks real good

    Well finally got these lights hooked up. Took me a while to get the proper adjustment with them because they didn't fit the brackets just right.

    The output is outstanding!!

    First output shot is just my retros. I know, they still need to Be aimed I'll get there haha second shot is just the LED lights no retros. Very pleased with the overall look.

    That valance looks sick with those lights in it. Never really liked it till now, I think you found the perfect lights for it.

    Thanks guys. Really happy with the outcome.

    The LEDs are awesome!! Probably comparable to a light bar but I've never seen a light bar on to know. Haven't got flashed with them on but they just shine everywhere it feels like haha

    For you, Jarrett.

    The amount of creativity used to get them just right was overwhelming. Originally the brackets shown belong on the opposite side and flipped over. Because the lights are bigger than PIAA lights the bracket pushed them down farther, so by flipping them upside down it made more room for the light to sit. Switching sides allowed the bracket to be flow with the curve of the bumper better. The mounting hole was still not level but it was centered. So I Had to shove washers in between the light bracket and mounting bracket on the outside to make it sit level.

    Sounds confusing because it was lol pretty straight forward though, just needed a lot of adjustment.
