Nope. I called and they hope to have them to me next week since their lathe broke. Pretty much sucks.
I bit the bullet on their pods and 7.5" bar over on Volt LED. Looks like good quality stuff or at least better than fleabay. I really learned a lot from this thread. Wish I had time to build them but I just don't have the equipment to really do such a project. Looks like fun.
I tried out the 41.5" tonight. Its stupid bright although I don't care for the mounting location. There is a slight glare on the windshield. there is some glare on the end of the hood but that seems to not be a problem.My eyes adjust in a half second but my bumper mounted lights require no such eye adjustment(although they are not as bright so that may be part of it). Its money well spent of course as its brighter then the $500 dollars worth of other lights I have.
If I did it over again I may make sure the roof line cuts the light off of the windshield. Its bright enough that I'd guess it would hurt your eyes a bit no matter what, but I'd bet it would be better.
how are the 7.5" doing?
When you say, "If I did it all over again." Do you mean mounting the light? Like if it were mounted further back you'd have the cutoff line in a different location? If not where else can you mount a 41.5" light bar?
I think up over the cab would be better. I mounted mine where I have seen others do it. It works, but I bet with a lot of test fitting you could go ovr he cab, have zero glare and 95% of the light down range.
Put a strip of cardboard on the bottom to block the spill onto the windshield. Figure how much you need then duplicate it with some 1/8 inch abs sheet.
thought about that. I'm not sure its worth bothering, but I figured I'd put it out there for forum sake. Its really just a half second to get used to it. I didnt think it would spill down since they are all spot. When i first fired it up i though "hey my windsheild is dirty. SWait, why am i noticing the windsheild" lol. Also it doesn't seem to whisle much up to 60 so far.
hey Sean this guy built exactly what you are talking about. I'm still not sure its annoying me enough to mess with but this would fix it 100%Attachment 179
