That's interesting as when I changed mine out I had outlined the pattern on my garage door with electric tape, installed then tested, pattern was identical. They are so much brighter though, that they reflect more and light up things way down the road since the standard reflector housing don't cut them off sharply like stock HID housings do (or projectors).

What color you go with Leonard? I went with 4300k as they are brightest. They don't look as blue either. Of course the color really is personal preference but I'm just curious.

Its way off for some reason...I kinda feel like a A-Hole for how bright they are. They light up car interiors quite nice!

Mine do as well. You get to used to the fact that every time you pull up behind someone they flip their rearview to night mode. Do you have leveling kit and larger tires? Maybe that is the difference since I'm just a 2wd and it sits quite a bit lower.

for all you trailer pullers, rv's, single car trailer. New Dot rules are taken affect. if you would cross a scale over 10K no matter what you need DOT #'s. which means you need all the safety BS too. There free to get but you still have to stop at scales. if you borrow someones trailer you better have a permission slip the cop could say you were Hauling for hire, then you have to go to court. if you are hauling for hire and they stop you your in for a long day or days and forget out driving your truck home. i was just told this my the FMSCA here in glen burnie. Good news finally getting my Motor Carrier numbers, ernie if your on here start looking out for me at the scale house
