The lights arrived
The Diode Dynamics order has landed - Elite Max headlights, the SS3 amber pods and the SS5 whites. Worth saying before anything else: the packaging is genuinely the best of anything that has arrived for this truck. Nothing shifted, nothing was loose, and nothing needed a knife anywhere near it.
They are not going on yet. The rear axle is out, the driveshaft is on order, and the truck does not move under its own power - so lighting, however good, is not the next job. Operationally critical first. They will be fitted, photographed and written up properly once the truck is back on its wheels, and the write-up will say what they are actually like rather than what the box looked like.
