Default Stage 3 Motorsports Smoked Spyder headlight install!

Got these beauties in the mail today. Quality on them seems very good. I personally prefer the look of these over the Anzos. To me the tint on them is just right. Ordering from Stage 3 is very straight forward, I got a e-mails for each update on the processing/shipping of the order.

Stage 3 does a good job of explaining how to install headlights which can be found here.

Out of the package the aim on the headlights was horrible one was up and one was down, but adjusting them was very easy.

I don't know what to expect for daytime brightness,(plus they are tinted) but to be honest I thought they would be brighter. The daylight pictures were taken at 5pm with the truck facing West.

The darker pictures were taken around 8:30 and the leds show up and look a lot better.

At nighttime the leds look absolutely amazing as seen in the pictures.

Overall I am very happy with the quality and looks of these headlights.

Looks good. This is the first time I've seen these installed (other than ads). Are these switchbacks?

No, I don't think they offer them.

some morimoto XB fogs would look good with those ... well if the lights are off anyway. Once on they won't match well

Thanks for the info... Are the halos DRLs out of the box or are they parking lights only? When you get a chance, can you post some pics of the halos in bright light? Just wanted to see how "dim" they are in daylight...

They come on with the parking lights. I was going to use forscan and set my parking lights so they act as DRLs. I am going to buy the switchback LED bulbs for the blinker, this will make it light up white instead of orange, but will switch to orange when blinking.

The first couple of pictures are of the lights on in daylight.

Wow, I thought the halos weren't on in those first couple pics... Now I know what you mean when you say you expected them to be brighter.

Yeah, it doesn't help that the truck was facing the sun and the lenses are tinted. But I figured it would be brighter.

Not bad, and a real improvement over stock. Think I still give a slight edge to the Anzo though.
