Is the consensus that the "driving Pros" are the way to go?
Focused enough to prevent hood glare, but still broad enough to light up a good area?

Also, I see several have opted for the yellow. I have Yellow SS3s in the bumper as fogs, but hadn't considered them for roof lights? I assume some of this is for aesthetics?

I have a set as my fogs currently but them being from DD is great if ya want to swap the lenses to spots or flood. I might just make my fogs into spots personally.

I have the driving lens sports and they're more than adequate. The pros will definitely get you more light. The driving pattern has almost zero glare on the hood or windshield. The focus of the lenses is beyond the hood. I'm pretty sure you saw you my pic on FB, you can see the beam from the roof lights and how it goes past the hood.

I'm tempted to go with the Sports to save a few bucks, but I have Pro fog lights, and not sure I want to step down in output from those.

They should be having a Veteran's Day sale and possibly a Black Friday sale. I'd wait and see if that happens, then order the Pros for 20% off.

Well, the new batch of brackets arrived and are defective :-( Waiting for the 3D printers to get back to me on getting a replacement batch as soon as possible. Sorry for the delays, I hope to have more in hand in about a week or so!

Generally, I think the Driving optic up top is probably the best. Spots would be an option as well. Fogs up top might me interesting to try but likely puts too much light where you don't want it.

Update on the new batch. I believe we have sorted out the issue with the defective batch and am waiting on confirmation from the 3D printers as well as a finalized lead time. The brackets now look like them will arrive towards the end of the month :-/ Apologizes for the delays, I hope that the next batch will arrive in spec...

Hi all, there has been another delay. My 3D printing vendor is no longer comfortable producing the parts to specification in the original material. I am looking into alternatives, but don't have a timeline for a resolution.

Thanks,

Tyler

The new parts are in! These are made using a different process and material. They look much better, than the last batch and I'd say better than any of the previous sets. Unfortunately, because it's a new process and material I want to test a set out on my vehicle to make sure they function as expected. I'll be getting them installed on my Xterra in the next few days and will post some pictures. I would like to run them for about a month to make sure they don't have any issues. I will let everyone know, once they clear the testing!

Great to hear. I hope they meet your quality standards. I'm interested in a set after the new year.
