I was only kidding about the video, but it was great

thank you Steve. I will be ordering those tomorrow.

You’re welcome! The YouTube app makes it super simple to do and I had 5 minutes between calls so it was kind of fun to do. My problem is I shake like I have Parkinson’s and it’s super shaky so sorry about that.

Please let me know if you have any experience with these products.

Truck Lite Roadmax LED:

These have to be ordered through your Freightliner dealer and are also apparently available to be optioned out on a factory order. I'm trying to get pricing on these.

I've used these in 3 other trucks plus my DX3 now.

So my November delivery DX3 will have LED’s?

[bclemens]

Is it on order already? or just getting?

[mikew968]

Ordered 1st week of July

[bclemens]

Tough to say. Not sure when the 19's will arrive.

[mikew968]

So a ‘19 DX3 could be on a ‘18 or’19 chassis?

[bclemens]

Yes, in fact it is more likely to be on an 18 because the RV industry changes model year long before the auto industry does. I don't like it...but I don't pick that date. I think we shouldn't change over model year until fall like automotive.

I include the RVIA letter below with every coach (on the flash drive), because people still seem to be confused by model year.

Hey Steve, in stalled the LED headlights today.

Have you driven with them at night yet? I will try mine out tonight.

[steverkemp]

Yes, did a before and after within 1 day period. They’re very bright at night.

Bright! is not the word for it. Are they legal?

Blinding would be better word LOL

[mookieblaylock]

Good to hear!

Joe, did you order yours through Freightliner, or did you find them online? I think this will be next on my list.

On a similar note, do those of you with the Caliber9 grills run any of those light bars when driving on the highway at night? I recall several folks saying they used them when navigating campsites etc, but I was wondering if any of them, specifically the lower amber fog/driving light bar, could be used all the time the lights were on.

Mookie,

I ordered mine thru Freightliner LH A66-05475 002
RH A66-05475 003

However, you can also get them on E-bay
I have the Caliber9 grille, but with no light bars, glad now I choose to
not get the light kits. The new headlights are blinding.

I'm assuming you adjusted them down?

As you said, they came all the way up, and as you suggested, did one at

a time. Adjust the new with the old and then the other.

Compared to what I had (original) these are blinding!! (probably exaggerated on my part) LOL
