Hmm,,, wonder how the output would be on those, might be worth the extra to go with the Radio Flyer.

It's not a question of money, I prefer the look of the Corvette Innovationz sleepy eyes:

I think they look great and I like how low profile they are, definitely if automakers were to do a modern pop up light still they would look more like these. I would just like to see some pics of the light pattern. I'm really night driving challenged I had to put these in my classic Range Rover to see at night, and they where a big improvement Name:  photo497.jpg

I really like the looks of both of these different "lazy eye" head lights. How do you adjust them to only open that little?

Thanks. We put a lot of time and effort into offering a high quality product that performs as good as it looks. Our system is based on the Hella 60mm projector which is a purpose-built headlight (not an off-road light bar) and has a DOT-approved stepped light pattern. The resulting light pattern allows you to have plenty of long-distance illumination, spread even light distribution without blinding oncoming traffic (see photos)


Minimal glare for oncoming traffic

Excellent light spread and throw (this is low beams only)

Our kit replaces the lifting and rotary arms with slightly different sizes to change the geometry. This maintains the same overall functionality and stress levels on major parts without having to re-invent the wheel.


I'm curious if the corvette illuminationz kit is capable of producing a pattern that that does not blind oncoming traffic. My experience with those light bars is that the patterns are are rather "splotchy" I also don't see anything resembling a high beam pattern.
