Brighter than is allowed, and yes, that pisses me off. Those lights pictured above look like an egg carton. And again, you brought up another perfect point, your eyes should never be drawn to one glaringly obvious thing on a vehicle. Like @Crashtd420's rear smoke stacks... 🤣 Hey at least I have brake lights and turns signals in them...... 1 Quote Link to comment
bottomwatcher Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I don't mind the look. I think my 720 looks close to stock and the beetle lights add to its frankenbug looks. 2 Quote Link to comment

That’s just the idiots here in North Carolina that can’t afford the rest of the lift kit. They did just outlaw that here. Quote Link to comment

They did just outlaw that here. As I understand it, the look came from desert racing. Ever seen a trophy truck accelerating? The sheer amount of horsepower combined with the soft suspension and massive traction push the front end to the moon. That look was big here in CA as early as the '90s on street driven Toyota trucks. Also, almost every truck built comes with the nose lower than the rear, so you can actually haul things. Then guys install leveling kits to make the truck sit flat. Then when you put anything in the bed, the nose ends up higher than the rear. Quote Link to comment
fiveoneO Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Holley makes LED lights that look like OEM lights. I haven't tried them, but I bet they work good. 1 Quote Link to comment

I saw those, but Holy Smokes are they expensive. They sure do look like stock lights though. Quote Link to comment
powderfinger Posted March 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Those Holley's look nice but I am on the fence about paying $85 a piece, no chance I am paying twice that lol. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 You have to pay to play. Or you'll end up with something that barely equals the performance of your stock lamps or a periah on the highway. For LEDs I found that you want to spend about $200s a lamp for any hope of a quality improvement. There is a lot of crap out there, a LOT OF CRAP!!!! Go to you tube, there are shows that compare quality lamps showing their true lumens output and more important, the beam pattern. Don't be that other guy. Quote Link to comment

Don't be that other guy. That's why I posted the YouTube link, they included the Phillips. I really think the Phillips seem to hold their own against the more expensive ones. Guess I am going to have to just try them out to see. I'll likely give the low beams a shot first to see how they do. Will cost a little extra in shipping to buy low and high beam separate but I think I would rather do that than buy all 4 at once and take the chance they are disappointing. Not sure if RockAuto would let me return them simply because I don't like them lol. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 At least it's consistent across the test subjects. If Amazon allows BS, I mean BS this bad, this means all things are suspect. It's the same with batteries. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 I seen these guys and Made in USA but dont know how good they are also depend on back housing if room for the module. 510s would be EZ ,521s maybe not Quote Link to comment

Everything is Shingzong, Zangwang, and Rongchong. Get your pewter drill bits and pleather work boots next day! Edited May 1, 2023 by thisismatt 1 Quote Link to comment

Wildcat Walker Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Anyone seen this style of Phillips lamp in the round size for 620? I was using the BMW Projectors with an HID, but I never did like the depth of the projector housings. Edited May 3, 2023 by Wildcat Walker Quote Link to comment

They look like stock lamps, which is what makes them cool. Quote Link to comment
