Nobody ever complained about having too much light. Lights are a device where I will never go cheap, except maybe on my friggin Cub Cadet. I'll run the $20 AutoZone special on them, but I'll have something much better on my truck.

I'll go cheap on lights as long as they provide enough light for what I need. If they do that and they are cheap, i'm happy. I can use the money saved somewhere else where it is needed more.

I've only got $90 all together in my aftermarket lights (front and rear) and I can see quite well at night.

That's because you don't know any better.

All i'm saying is, if you think you have to spend $600 for a high quality lamp, then you really don't know.

Have you ever held a HID Hella 4000? I'm sure you haven't. How about driven with some? If you had, you would know the answer to that question. You're trying to compare walmart china **** to German made precision optics. That's just foolish.

Why would I need to hold one? I've never held a Mopar 572 Wedge crate motor either. Why? Don't need one (plus it would be too heavy to hold). Same reason I don't need HID Hella 4000's. See, i'm not actually comparing anything, i'm being realistic about what I actually need and don't need and what I want to spend. That's the difference you always fail to see. 99.9% of the trucks on this forum don't need $600 HID Hella 4000's. Buying them when you really don't need that type/quality/price of lamp is what would be the truely foolish thing here.

Thats right.. Thats why I recommended $100 Kragen HID's instead. Man you're dense.
