Looks awesome! I definitely want to do this to my truck now. Have you thought about making some more of these headlights to sell?

Thanks, guys. I've thought about it, yes. BUT, the price I'd have to charge for everything would absolutely turn people off.

(Think $2,000 out the door, because that is how much work and money in parts there is.)

You did a fantastic job. Nice rig, I kinda want to do that to my h3 now. Thanks for all the updates. Did you figure out the high and low beam yet?

I appreciate it! I've got the relays sitting at the house. I've got a baby due in 5 weeks, do I've been remodeling my house and throwing baby showers and all that fun stuff. So it's been on the back burner.

I should have time to get the relays wired up this Sunday. (And finally get some dang output shots, haha.)

Well congratulations on the baby. Can't wait to see the final product. Truly inspiring, I'm thinking of going full led now.

Haven't had a chance to do a lot of mods lately, but I swapped the 33" Duratracs for 35" ko2s today.

I like them a lot. I do feel a bit of a power difference and the shifting is a little off. I talked to the wife today and she agreed that I should probably get it reprogrammed for the tires.

Feels a bit floaty and sits up nice. I'll be going off-road in Slade, Kentucky on March 11th, so we will see how it does.

Lucky lol, my wife dosent understand at ALL, everytime I do a mod, or something is wrong (not very often) she chalks it up to a money pit. And it takes me an hour or so to explain, even then I don't think she listens cause she calls it Carinese lmao

Finally got rid of my annoying squeaks. Replaced the serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulley last night.

Had to remove my Tatton driveshaft because of terrible vibration. Replaced the CV on the stock shaft and put it back in.

I greased the front of the Tatton every time I changed my oil, but it appears that this part went without grease? How the hell was I supposed to grease it? There are no zirc fittings or whatever.

That little push-dot fitting? I've never seen anything like that, what kind of tool do you grease it with?

Were you able to figure out how to solve the high beam issue on the headlights? I’m currently installing similar led lights on my H3 and having the same problem.
