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

[92silverado1500]

they setup works great.....when an ******* is too close i just tap my brake and i see them back off.....damned monkeies

I'm starting to think they give out licenses like candy around here because there's so many bad drivers that I don't know how they get a license

Another thing about auxiliary reverse lights, the way I have my light now is just a fused wire from the reverse light. I plan on wiring it to a secondary toggle switch by using a diode from each power lead (the reverse lights and toggle switch) to the inline fuse to the light. I'm not an electrical expert so if anyone thinks of something that I'm over/underthinking let me know, thanks

I know my reversing lights are 'illegal', like any other lamp, they have defined regulations. That said, I understand the implications for their use.

Here's the intensity regulations: as such that they need only serve as visual warning that the vehicle is reversing. Minimum axial intensity is 80cd, maximum intensity 300cd at any point on or above horizontal, max intensity 600cd at any point between horizontal and 5° down, max intensity 8,000cd at any point below 5° down. Beyond that, there are specific test points a reverse lamp must meet:

Points at H and 5° down
V: 80cd min
10° right and left: 50cd min
30° right and left: 25cd min
45° right and left: 15cd min

Points at 5° up
V: 25cd min
10° right and left: 20cd min
45° right and left: 15cd min

Points at 10° up
V: 15cd min
10° right and left: 10cd min

Reversing lamps are definitely regulated as on-road lighting devices.

i would love to refinish mine.....i LIKE the stock units., but my right one has a deep gash that will never come out....bad.....maybe find some NOS units.

i want a glass red fog.....but i'm drawing blanks for that. Cibie used to make a good one, decades ago

There's a factory GM rear fog light used on 01-06 Export SUVs, it's P/N: 5977830 If you do a google image search you can see a couple breakdowns of it. The bulb in it is ACDelco #P21W Only thing I can't tell is if the lens is glass or plastic.

EDIT: here's one on a Tahoe. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Chevrolet_Tahoe_rear.jpg?1486652668984

they give the driver's license test in 11 ****** languages in NY state........ELEVEN! why should anyone be allowed to drive if they don't speak English?

i'm not going to go on a political diatribe, i like my blood low.....press 1 for English? FU@K THAT!

if a way presents itself to get these lights, especially the e-code headlights, i'll pay my ticket for that ride. that there is the best OEM setup in my opinion.....and i do like OEM.

As a fellow fan of OEM parts that is why I mentioned the rear fog to you. I'm glad someone likes those taillights. Not my cup of tea. I think amber belongs on forward facing lights only, I find that blob of it on those tails (and the GMT-800 tails) to be revolting.

There are all sorts of neat lights and neat features not offered in the US...leveling headlights, high pressure headlight washers, rear fog lights, etc.

P.S. I'm also disgusted with the over-catering to non-English speaking peoples.

That is a beautiful patch/decal. My traffic rants often break down to that point.
