Glad to hear they are working as you wanted, without modification. Did sound like you were having a good time working out ways to modify them for a while there.

As I have said in the past. I run my parking lights as part if my DRLs. Kind of a pet peeve of mine that people run around in foggy weather with just their DRLs and no tailights, if the have any lights on at all. Besides when I'm towing my TT, I like having my marker lights on. With my OLM lights the LED DRLs come on when I start the truck, and when I put it in gear the parking lights and fogs come on. The fogs are just cause I like the looks. ? I wish more people would use the Auto function on the switch. I have no problem with Canada's federal DRL law and wish the US would do the same. Why don't people realize the lights are not just to see by but BE SEEN.
Agreed, to many drivers, not enough operators. By that I my, too many people don't know how to control the features of the vehicle that are required for driving safely. Just tonight on the way home from Harbor Freight to deal with the one issue I had there as a driver full dark high way driving with just DRLs. No about of signalling them worked either, I was behind them and cycled the lights off/on, flashed the high beams, repeated. Got in front of them, put my hand out and pointed at them, cycled the lights off for a moment and then back on. Gave up and a mile later I saw someone else attempting to do the same. Here in NC wipers on headlights on law, but too many people just use the DRLs, which does not meet the law, requesting DRL is not the same as requesting low beam at a minimum which will request parking/running lights as well. 100%, being seen is as important as seeing.

Yeah coming home from church this morning it was really foggy. visibility was was maybe a quarter mile at most. The number of people driving without any lights on at all was scary. bad enough if they just had DRLs without taillghts. it was dark enough yet that my truck had the lights on. (Maybe it was because I had my wipers on to keep my windshield clear ?). I like Canada's idea to turn off your dash lights if the light sensor determines you should have your lights on and you don't. Not really wanting another nanny, but since the electronic dashes there are a lot of people running without lights when they should be on.

End of rant.

How are these lights holding up?

Also, I know they were on sale when this thread started but... have the base price gone up?
Still doing good on mine, but only been on the truck a couple months as of now.

The $420 sale is over, back to the normal $699 price, but this weekend it looks like Anzo is having a 25% off sale, if that applies to these lights, would put them to about $520.

Mine are still installed in the box in the garage. ?

Along with the CVF intercooler pipes and the 589 Fab hidden winch mount.

Well, I ordered a LUX meter since I can't find any spec with these lights, I'll share what I see from them later. I've started a spreadsheet for comparison based on data from Morimoto's YT video.

I put that info in a new thread I started, I did just update that post here though. As noted in the other thread, while the numbers on the Anzo are lower, the cutoff is cleaner and it looks like more usable light off to the sides. I think a test of multiple points at x-ft intervals and then averaged would better represent the usable light difference since the halogens are very center bright, which is where I measured.

My side vision has improved a great deal with the ANZOs. Improves my range on seeing deer on sides of roads.
