Finally, got these things installed, after them sitting around for way too long. It was a super simple install, made that way thanks to great engineering of the aftermarket brackets. Hopefully, I'll run into you in the Cities one day for a .

Edit: not sure how I missed the fact that it was the lights with the round bezel that I needed for the flush look, but these are still perfectly good for light output.

How’s the cutoff? Any light on the windshield or dash? I’ve honestly never considered my roof lights usable because of how much light they put on the windshield/dash/hood.

I haven't used them at night yet, but they seem to focus light well past the hood, based off how they project on the wall in my garage.

When you get them in the dark, report back if you can. No light spilled on the dash or windshield and minimal on the hood, and I’ll be getting a set.

Looking good! Have you thought about swapping the standard bezel to our round bezel for a flush finish on your roof lights?

Our TIR optics do a great job focusing the light and limiting spill on the dash, windshield, or hood compared to other brands using general reflector/generic optics.

However, it's important to consider the beam pattern/optic selected will impact the spill light. The optic used by RikRong is our driving optic that is a highly focused beam pattern.

Can confirm. No spilled light on the dash/windshield and glare is almost nonexistent.

Here's some pics from mines. Sport amber with driving beam. SS3 pods are a lot better. Beam is more focused and not floody. OEM lights gave a huge glare on windshield and hood. Didn't like using them. With the DD no problem. Plus the amber doesn't pick up as much particulates in the air and doesn't reflect it back to u.

Umm, yes I have. Lol I'm not sure why I didn't order the round ones, in the first place.

Hi all! Sorry I've been a little MIA the last week or so. The hood glare is definitely better than the stock lights as others have said. I run the pro driving pattern in white, and am very happy with the beam pattern. The driving pattern would be my suggestion to balance hood/windshield glare and area illuminated by the pods.

 

[oddball86]

Just back from another successful Roadtrip. This time was Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier! Brackets are holding up great. More pics to come.

 

[RikRong]

Fixed. The round bezels are much better.

 

[JohnnyPulls]

Oddball,

I would like to purchase a set please message me. I tried messaging you howeverI am a new user and was not permitted.
Thanks,
John

Money shots....

High beams only.

High beams, bumper and ditch lights...

Everything above, plus roof lights...

If you're making another set of brackets, put me down for them. I really want to switch out my stock lights since I have to drive a dirt road home from work and the stock headlights don't safely illuminate the area.

 

[oddball86]

Thanks for you interest! I should have another few sets available in the next week or so!

 

[oddball86]

Sorry for the long delay everyone, I had a bunch of stuff come up. I have 6 sets left with one additional set that is a scratch and dent for lack of a better way to describe it. I am going to be running a sale on the remaining brackets next week for Black Friday! I'll post here and message anyone who has expressed an interest via PM as well. Please note, it looks like my cost from the 3D printer company is going up about 20%, so future brackets will likely be more expensive. Also, I will likely hold off fabricating more brackets for a while to gauge demand. So, long story short. If you want a set of brackets, next week would be a good time to let me know .

Thanks everyone!

Tyler

Hi all, the Black Friday sale is here! Everything is 15% off. Package price for the pods, brackets and wiring adapters is now 323+shipping for the pro level and 221+shipping for the sport level. I also have some fog light kits for the Xterra available as well! Please note that I am prioritizing selling the package as a unit over just the brackets.

Please PM me if you are interested, I will confirm the relevant information then send an invoice via Paypal for you review and payment.

Let me know if anyone has questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Thanks,

Tyler

 

[oddball86]

Thanks for everyone's interest! The sale has ended.

Just finished installing mine, I'm incredibly happy with the result. Thanks @oddball86 for designing and selling these. I'll upload pictures soon.
