I am VERY interested in seeing the final version of these. I love the way they look naked but I want them with a shroud for the "completed" look

The shrouds are in the works now. I expect a lot more to be interested once they are done.

We had a GP recently for 20 shroudless sets. Right now most have just received them and are installing in their C5s.

I like the fact that they only open half the distance up when opened, I would love to know how that is done, parts, or just adjustments. I have a possible solution to your shroud, have you tried wrapping a wet suit around the guts and just cutting holes attached to a lamp ring that fits around the two projector headlights. May be a solution to creating a hard plastic shroud based on some members thoughts.

^ We already have a car at the prototypers shop building the shrouds. They called me today and said they have already started working on them. I hope they have pix for me next week of the progress.

Dang, really picked up the pace on the shrouds. You guys may have them done and made before I even manage to get around to installing the dang lights.

ZFLASH, how hard is it to adjust the height of the light assembly, can you share that information?? I'm going to figure how to do it with the ACA I have, it looks real cool...

Thanks Jesse. Not sure if the ACA's will re-adjust to a lower opening height.
Try hand turning the lights to the height you like, then attempt to adjust the aim point. If I remember correctly it is a limitation of the OEM adjusters that prevents the light from being aimed high enough at that opening height.

PM me with your email and I can share what I've learned...

Man these are great, I can see freeway signs from at least a half mile away. I still have some level adjustments to make, it's hard since I work late at night and can't get to my guy. Also have some vibration issues, but the lighting is AWESOME Great job guys, was wondering if george's (Radioflyer) Hi-4 harness will work with these? L8R ZFLASH
