So I'm still happy with the color flicker even after the lens is in place! Amazing cutoff on these projectors.

I started dealing with a new company for RGB products and am loving the wireless remotes they provide. Works from 60-100 ft away, so I can even change the colors while driving if needed.
That's pretty good distance. Any installed pictures?

I've messed with the remotes that are supposed to work with your smartphone and even those don't work from more than 20ft away.

Hers are a couple of pictures that I have at the moment. Still need to take more, but it rained and left water spots and dust all over the truck so it needs another wash.

These are at a local car show over I went to last week. The white truck in the background also has lights done by me. Here's a closer look at those.

Looks good. And the dual cubes would be bright as all hell. What are used for the normal lights? If any? Haha. I thought about doing a set like that for the fathers f250 but with a projector for normal night driving.

Well, they "could" be used as normal lights, but the main intention was for it to be unique. It would be good to have wired up as a high beam, but I'd still recommend projectors 100% for driving lights.

The turn signal bucket has one too, so I put on an LED switchback tube between the main reflector bowl and the side marker. That acts as a driving light and the turn signal now.

I was waiting for that reply! Haha.
Yes, sir. For show only. That's the only reason I agreed to do them.

I didn't think you'd be that type of person to make something you know is bad on the road.. Good to know!
