I think I might go with 4x4labs if I ever do it, possibly their diy weld together kit, great price. And maybe add their swing away bike rack. So many nice fabricators out there though.

Thanks, they do look pretty good! Haven’t tried aiming much yet as I haven’t gotten out at night other than to find a spot to aim my hid lo beams. Not really sure how I should aim the fogs and a YouTube search didn’t immediately yield much helpful info. I figure they should aim slightly downward of course. Any tips?

It looks like Lightwerkz has them in stock with free shipping if you're really itching - I ordered from them and they came pretty quick. They're still one of my favorite mods!

I don't think I would have done anything differently - except maybe order the DT connectors you linked directly from DD. The Amazon ones worked fine but the DT connector heads were a real PITA to get off in order to reverse the polarity - as I said I ended up using the included DD DT connectors on the pigtails and they were a breeze to remove.

Super easy to aim, I just tightened the mounts a decent amount to where they are firm but still able to be moved and it's been working great like that - they haven't dropped or anything while driving/hitting bumps/off-road stuff/etc.

The angled models might work better in our pockets (I considered about it as well), but I can't confirm - everyone who I consulted about trying this suggested the basic round models. They might still leave a gap so you'd still probably have to paint the inside of the pockets, but they'd fill in more of the space. I plan on getting a steel bumper at some point so I figured having the "universal" round models would work better when the time came to mount 'em elsewhere. If you plan on keeping your stock bumper - it might be worth a try!

If you keep an eye out, Lightwerkz often runs 15% off promos on DD products from time to time (with free shipping) to soften the blow. It's crazy that these are "budget friendly," but considering the competition's prices
you're right, they are gthe best value for the price - I'm very impressed with the overall build quality/output. The Pro models might have been nice, since my retro'd headlights are super intense, but after using the Sports in very foggy conditions somewhat recently, these did a great job. I don't regret not going Pro, personally - it would have been purely for aesthetics. The Sport's pattern/cutoff/width are great - good throw and SO WIDE - wider than my headlights even. I don't think you'll regret 'em.

Anyone else having this issue?

It's way more amber than the SAE/DOT Yellow units which are more pleasing to my eye.

I just don't want a round housing. I might just have to bite the bullet and go with Baja Designs but wanted to try these guys out. They look like they make decent stuff.

The yellow makes a massive difference in contrast in the sand as it doesn't blow out the highlights up close... and in dust conditions when compared to a bright white light.

I actually want the flood/spill, but want a separate housing so I can aim it differently than my fixed headlights which are 35 watt yellow HID.
