Hi,
I saw these LED Fog/Driving lights (6 leds/ 2600 lumens per light/ 12 leds 5200 lumens per pair).

I then saw this thread about the SST-90's in that awesome flashlight:
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...s-Led-Flashlight-18-000-lumens-more-beamshots.
I think the parts I need are:
What I want to know, is how hard would it be for me to make a pair of Fog/Driving lights for off road use like the Rigid ones, but with 6 or 8 SST-90's?
It would need to be compatible with 9v-14v DC. I was also thinking that a Dimmer with a digital readout 0%-100% in the truck would be nice so I can control how bright they are.
With 8 SST-90's @ 100% that would give me 18,000 lumens. 50% would be 9,000 lumens, per light head.
I know it can be done, but what all do I need and where to get the parts?

I think the parts I need are:
- SST-90's : 6 or 8
- Heat Sink large enough for the lighthead
- 6 or 8 reflectors, 10 degree or 20 degree or combination of both.
- Low voltage protector
- high voltage protector
- Voltage regulator
- Lexan glass plate for front of the case
- the case for the light.
- Wire to wire it up
- Fuse % fuse holder
- On/Off switch
- Dimmer module and control
