Thanks, man. They look REALLY good at night too. They do have a dimmer wire, but I did not use it. I like the extra light output produced by these running full strength. Unfortunately the OEM turn signal lenses don't have any kind of cut-off (that's about to be changed with my new lights from 180), but I've tested the lights by doing a drive by in one of my other cars and I haven't had any issues with other driver's flashing me for my lights being too bright.

Those 245 45 17 seem a bit wide for a 7.5" wheel. I was running that size on an 8" wheel and it still seemed a little too wide. That was also with skinny 245s (not all are equal in contact patch measurements) but all that aside you pulled it off fine!

The lack of cut off is what I'm concerned about, I'm thinking the light just going everywhere might distract other drivers and drown out the headlights. Do you have any pictures at night or dusk?

Does anyone have these with the dimmer feature plugged in? I'd be really curious what that looks like. I guess I can probably test it while I'm installing.

Trying a new spot for photos, it was cloudy today but I'll be back on a nicer day to get some better lighting/background.

Nice shot!

I personally think the vibrant red looks better/darker on cloudy days.

What look are you thinking about switching to? Looks pretty good as-is I'd say, not sure on the side visors but I know they work well.
