Just be sure to put them on relays to get full brightness out of them....

^True story.

And make sure you have heavy enough wire for it.

i know about the relys and the wiring. ive already had to re wire most of my truck.... plus it helps i attended UTI and learn a little something about automotive and comerical wiring.. i just looking for some opinions on decent lights. i actually decided to buy some cheap knock offs(they look like KC daylighters) and retro fit HID light bulbs and ballets into them so i can ensure i get as much blinding and seeing power as i can

The intelligence abounds. Gotta love someone that intentionally wants to blind another driver - an oncoming driver at that!

......and there is so little similarity between automotive and commercial wiring. In fact, the only similarity is wire itself - and it is NOT even the same!

I accidentally blinded some poor sap the other night with my 100 watt lights Had to flip my highs off and just couldn't get the off road lights off in time...

Dude was in a Jeep Wrangler, he stopped in the road and I kept going, was taking my sister home, I figured he'd be waiting for me to drive back through and get some revenge, but no, he was gone

I don't know where you've got your switch but mine is on the knee bolster under the steering wheel so I can hit it quickly.
