Ordered a pair of tail lights from a first gen tundra so they could fit my fiberglass for 35 dollars. They literally came in the next day!

The hellas failed often and i was tired of the ballasts going out and the warm up time on the HID's so i switched to LED.

While I'm waiting for my truck I've been planning my rock light setup. My girlfriend gave me 5 SUPERBRIGHT LED's for Christmas. I'm about to order 3 more for a total of 8 (one in front and behind each tire. They each are 4 watt LED light/strobe. Here are some pictures and a video of the strobe. Click on the last pic for vid.

An update from KrawlTex. They called Giant to try and get some measurements for the install only to get told that giant has only sold 2 of these kits and they don't have any baseline instructions/measurements. Either way I know they can get the job done.

It's stiff on the pavement but very responsive. Off-road it soaks up everything beautifully.

It's been a while since I've posted anything mostly due to school. Differential equations is kicking my butt. Anyways I've since gotten all 8 rocklights/worklights wired up underneath and also managed to mess up my front diff on a wheeling trip out in Post, Texas. Going to get that repaired and throw in a spartan locker up front. I thought it was the CV's at first but it's definitely inside since the soup can is all lose.

Got tired of the retrofitted HID hellas projector ballast's going out so I ordered some R.I. duallys diffused with amber lens to replace them.

I can never have enough light. Dodging deer on the backroads or trying to figure out what road to take while flying through the desert makes light a necessity. I will say the duallys (diffused) don't throw much light outwards and are barley noticeable when off or on besides the yellow tint but would be ideal for amber marker lights on the back or reverse light or a work light. I always run them at night in the city and have yet to get flashed. They are bright but not blinding. Will probably end up moving these to the back and replace the front with a fog d2 for a brighter more concentrated beam pattern.
