Im relocating them to the backrack, and moving the yellowed lights that are there to, under the rear bumper by the hitch

Now that i have mine installed to the truck's electrical system, they now flash at the same speed yours do. When i had them hooked to the 18v drill battery they were oscillating faster. So, you were right.

Not mine, just a video on Youtube, but yeah.....
I liked them faster. Seems like it would be an easy mod with a slightly faster speed motor from your local Radio Shack. My guess is that it is probably the same as a 80-90 fpm rotator type motor. Step it up to a 120 fpm motor and see what happens!

Two crappy videos i took with my cellphone. Best bet is to watch them in HD. The video does the PowerArcs NO JUSTICE.

Looks good. Maybe I should get a full brush guard and move the Power Arcs out from behind the grill.

OK. So now I'm jealous of your grille/bumper. That's looks awesome! Even the headlights don't wash em out....

I get blamed for everything lol.
Should I get a full brush guard to get Power Arcs from behind my grill?
What about putting blue lenses on yours? I had clear when I had them on my old Explorer. Red
lenses seemed to blend in better.

Ive heard good and bad about LED headlight bulbs. I tried the 8-12 dollar LED H1 replacements in my Vector bar and they were lame. They were touted on the website as "direct 50W halogen replacements" but brightness was more like cruise or parking lights. Don't seem to work bad in my Firebeam though.
I do have the LED takedowns in my new bar set to flash and they look way better than the factory halogens. The blink is very on/off. No "blink fade" like halogens do.
If you go LED headlights I'd like to know what model, brand, lumen, what K, etc.

Havent heard anything on those. I did a quick look at their site....150 bucks a bulb? Granted that's with a lifetime warranty but for that price they better be whiter than a structure fire in a magnesium factory.

Yeah my bad....you're right....so 75 a bulb....I have separate bright housings so 300 bucks is what it would cost to do my Silverado...some Ford models use the same bulb for hi/low beam...that might be worth it then.

I would suggest that you get the Gen2 Lifetime LED Headlights. Much better, let me know if you want a pair. I will hook you up.

I go tall my Lifetime leds from Jose. I have the headlights and the fogs. My g/f is not one
to spend money, but she said the head lights are worth it. I am having an issie with one, but Lifetime has always stood behind their products.

M7s are gone to make way for something new.
Coming soon:
Feniex Apollo600 Blue/Amber.
I needed to get some Feniex stuff on my truck.
I dont know if im going to put it where the flood bar is, and relocate that, or mount it on the very top of the PB, im not sure. Thoughts...?

Im thinking the same thing. Separate it from the PowerArcs. We'll see when it gets here. (If it ever ships)
Its been a while since an update but the front M7s have been replaced. The front flood bar was also removed. It looked too cluttered. I've since changed the amber pattern on the 600 from Cluster to a half/half slow alternating. What do you think?

Well, the Apollo 600 was cool while it lasted. ... now, on to bigger and better things...
COMING SOON:
Essentially, a pushbumper mounted VALOR bar. LoL.

So for the front I have A/W cannon 360s for the turn signals, and I'm gonna do B/A Apollo F6s on the sides of the PB.
I'm replacing the rear LINz6s with Feniex T6s and connecting them to the M7s via 2 ULF44s. One for blue, one for Amber. Steady flicker on mode2 and flim flam on mode3.
Thoughts?
