    I use Greulich’s and have had good luck with them. You just need to tell them what you want. My lift didn’t seem to cause them any issues.

    Got a much anticipated delivery today!
    E024977B-27BC-459D-BEBE-5E593AA03EEC.jpg

    Spot lenses for the chase lights are freakin lasers. There will be no problem seeing me through the dust with these. The pic makes it look like there’s a hard cutoff, but the splash gradient is way softer than this shows.

    Got the SSC2 Pros mounted but haven’t finished the wiring yet. Should be able to knock that out tomorrow.

    Also figured out straps for my Yeti Tundra Haul. Nice and solid.

    Did your OCD kick in when you noticed there wasn't a specific left/right light for the 2's? Took one apart and tried to flip the lens; can't do it..

    @BiggHertz pointed that out to me and now I can’t unsee it. It’s not the end of the world, and not sure it actually makes any functional difference, but would be nice to have the flood lens to the outside.

    my OCD is like no other, but more importantly I worry about splash on the hood from the driver's side SSC2 having the non "spot" closer to the hood...but...you're also not work truck white...

    I’ve been about to pull the trigger on the same setup. They are the Rago antenna mounts?

    They are indeed. Was my idea originally to keep them from being shadowed by the box. but eventually ruled against it as i felt they would be too exposed to damage. But for yimmy....he avoids the scratchy scratchy!

    Makes sense why they do it though. One less SKU they have to manufacture/maintain/warranty and I doubt moving a light one inch makes a difference. For what it’s worth, you can file down a little bump on the inside portion of the frame that’s used for alignment and flip the lens (if you really want to have them be the same). They look good though!

    It did look like it would be easy enough to trim the tab down to allow the lenses to be flipped, but not a big enough deal for me to risk warranty issues. I'll see how they do when I go out at night, then go from there. How have your SSC2 Sports been doing for you?
