Spyder headlamps.....my take on 'em...and LIGHTING in general

[someotherguy]

This front end is really growing on me... My grill guard would like that. Now I have to keep my eyes peeled for the big Cibie lights. A few years back I should have bought the set I posted for public consumption. Yeah, I'm a fu@ki' idiot, lol.

When my buddy Nick (MrBeast, the guy with the white '94 3500HD wrecker that helped me build my HD wrecker) first got his truck it had the HD's original sealed beam grille but the previous owner had put HID's in it, using Hella? E-code style glass housings. I wish I could remember what happened to them but I'm sure a customer ended up with them for another HID install. They seemed kinda cool but I didn't want to run that grille on any of my trucks, just not my taste. They can certainly look good though as yours does!

This is a pretty good video...especially at the 13:20 mark. "Cheap shiity lights ... it's not a good idea"

Very cool. I was super impressed right up until I saw how they poured and clamped. That part look a little janky.

Interesting... First time I'm seeing either of those bulbs. Looks like some new potential contenders for best & brightest.
