just as i was putting in the top bolts in the bumperwhen Omar, my brother from another mother showed up to help.....glad he was the one to lay on the floor to do the 4 big bottom bolts.....6 months ago i took them out wanting to put on the grill guard, but i fu2ked up my back and never got to do it.........grill guard as soon as i possibly can. auxiliary lighting too!

we had a good time fooling with this.......listening to some good jazz and blues.

i found that out when i couldn't get the light to move over.......we fooled with it and got them aimed up pretty good for now.....at least for a test ride.......

this lamp is farthest away from the battery....not a great deal,but it's a tad different.......i'll ask Michael to do the "lumens math" as i'm thinking he has those numbers and can handily do the math for us......

14.2V @ Low beam would be about 208 percent brighter than 11.5V.

well, i guess you could call that a little improvement, hu? LOL

when we were aiming the lights that stupid "cat eye" on the right kept nagging me.....especially since the left didn't seem to be as profound.......it didn't dawn on me yet...............but it was in my head

 

[shovelbill]

i must say.......i like the way the front end looks. i was worried it would be too "Star Trek" for me, but it surprised me.....i'm pleased.
