Thanks JD! I'm hoping it makes up for the tinted windows. The single D2 is pretty bright but I think 2 lights are necessary
Well which is it tough or clean? Just kidding, thanks!
Thanks again!

LED Back-up lights.
I'm looking at buying a set of these, maybe more for the interior too.
Was the comparison photo taken with a stock bulb in passenger side? Or an upgraded bulb?
I'm a new to all this lighting stuff and would love to start with being able to see when I back up.
Any other input would be great.

Damn tint is a little much after dark. :doh:
Ohh. If this is considered cluttering a thread, I'm sorry. There's just so much to search for answers.....
Both pictures were taken from about the passenger side door with 35mm f/1.8 and 1/50 shutter. The first picture shows LED driver's side and halogen passenger side. The second shot is LED in both.
The cargo lamp is very bright as well, actually a fair amount brighter than any other LED panel I've used thus far (including the so_LED panel) but I didn't get any shots of it. I plan on finishing the interior with lights from him, I'll post more pics then.

It was actually a PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulb, so it was upgraded.
Yeah it is, you don't realize it until afterwards... But man it looks and feels good during the day!

Yeah I'm still running them. They're much brighter than halogen ones.
He has more lights for the full interior, I only have the cargo area one right now but plan to replace all with his lights at some point.
LED interior lights are great, one of my favorite mods.

Whats up, how u doin?...
We have another modified panel that im lookin into. We've had it but its been reworked. Its a panel like the LED but its called plasma. Looks like one big LED.
Been busy with the truck and go fast parts. Did the valve body on the tranny, had the blower serviced by steigemier and upgraded the fuel system..and of course work and the fam...lol...

I've been good, you'll have to let me know when you get those up for sale I may be interested.
I still need to get up with some time and do the rest of my interior but I think I'll wait to try the plasma bulbs now.
Have you still not found a deal you couldn't pass up on a grille?

Thanks a lot Josh!
Haven't seen anything from you in a while, hope things are well.
Any updates on your 4Runner lately?

You probably saw most of my last mods except for the 4x4 Labs bumper. Never really showed that to anyone. I think there's a picture or two in my build thread or on my website. Other than that I have been spending more time wheeling and less time spending money on it. Been out to Death Valley a lot and have 5 or 6 trips planned for the next few months all around CA and possibly Utah.

Oh ok, yeah I've seen a few shots of the bumper in a trip report or something.
You should share some pics of those wheeling trips, I miss seeing your great shots over on 120!

Thanks man, I won't clutter your thread with my pics but my better ones make it onto my website so you can always check it out. I don't usually post them publicly anymore since the trips I do aren't forum related anymore. Too much drama.
This one was from our last Death Valley trip:

Ah, I see... That's too bad. I try to avoid the drama and just ignore posts I don't like, but sometimes you get pulled into it.
Great shot!
Sounds good just let me know!

How did you take that picture? Like what settings did you use on your camera?

Dunno what settings he used for that specific picture but the typical star settings are wide aperture, open zoom, long shutter speed, low ISO, and exposure compensation.
