Default SL1s

For those that installed Diode Dynamics SL1s (have a 2015 XLT), did you need the extended dust covers?

Thx for the quick replies.

Mr. Quigley is advancing well in my boot camp. He is a gifted dog.

We may go for the FEMA Search and Rescue certification. Tough grade to make and maintain. He’s got the right stuff.

Love a good dog!

Back to the lights.....I didn’t go with the DD high beams as I heard they were’nt that good. Any comments?

I like them in both Hi/Lo. Put the OEM lights to shame. There may be better ones, but these are staying. I gotta do some night driving, it's been awhile. I'll see if I can find a couple photos with mine.

The top photo is the Hi beams. That stop sign is close to a 1/4 mile away.
The bottom is Lo beams, with a filthy right lens.
Yes, the left side was still aimed low at that time.

Pics LOW-HIGH, LOW-HIGH.
In the 1st two pics, I'm parked behind a parked vehicle testing the cutoff to make sure I'm not blinding the Humans Cab. Look at the tree trunks on both sides of the street, signs, rear windshield, houses, everything, etc at how good the brights are lighting up everything in the distance. Look close at both Stop Signs and the sign two blocks down behind the oncoming traffic stop sign it's lit up with brights. Keep in mind, I'm directly behind the parked vehicle which is blocking a lot of the throw/beam.

In the 3rd & 4th Pics look at the fence and beyond the fence, by the two red lights, the hill is showing up better with the Highs fired up. Another keep in mind look at all the Highway/Street lights on top of the hill and in the distance, it was kind of washing out the picture but the Highs still lit up the overly light saturated site.
I've read where some think the Highs don't add much...I can't explain why they think that (Fake-News! LOL!)...They work as intended and are a must, IMO!

Thx, both of you. Trusted reviews by intelligent and level-headed members.

That means and a lot to me!

I’ll be ordering the highs today.
