What beam pattern does that produce? If those are what I think they are, they are intended for fog / driving (auxiliary) lights and not headlights.

Also, they don't appear to be projectors. Are they?

They are driving lights as what the box says, not sure if they are meant for "head lights" however they shine better than the stockers, they are a simulated HID kit, they use 55w halogen H3 bulb, as the box puts it.. "sheds concentrated light" lol but they arent projectors...

They have a long, narrow beam pattern.

H3 is not meant for headlights and those pics show a very narrow beam that appears to be only about the width of the car.

Driving lights are meant to shine distance without much width which is why they aren't good for a low beam headlight.

Can you post some pics aimed at a wall?

We have not bailed on this project albeit a bit slower than anticipated. I am not one to blow smoke and provide a completion date but we have put considerable resources and funds to get this done. Right now our challenge is finalizing a design that can be manufacturered reliably and affordably.

Until the product is done, I will not be sharing pictures. I know you are all very anxious for this new product and I appreciate the continued patience.

Btw.....love the meme comics. Just so everyone knows, we are harassed nearly on a daily basis by our friends in NJ so its in the best interest the project gets completed sooner than later.
