Default New 60W CREE Rack lighting - What do ya think?

I just bought and mounted my new LED off road lighting. I bought 2x 60W CREE LED lights for my back rack. They are rated at 6000 Lumens EACH!!

Even during the daytime they can blind you. SERIOUSLY!!

I removed 4x 100W off road halogens. These Cree are 10X brighter!!!

Here's a youtube video for ya

Well, looks like you need to get rid of the grille lights. They're not doing you much good.

Nice lights. Got a link?

bought them off of ebay. Search 'Cree 60w'

I bought 10 degree spot beams

I was thinking of changing the grille lights to an LED light bar .. Cree of course ... maybe 100w each?!?

Jeez.
You're gonna blind yourself.

It says operating temp is 40-80*C. Hope it's warm enough up there in Canadaland.

lol Thought that dash was a spacer. Didn't realize it was actually negative. Should be good then.

Just one fellow Dodge lover finds this cool?

Damn .. I've never seen lights this bright. I assumed the specs on these were hyped or something. I saw a video of a Light bar with like 100 LEDs .. costing thousands. Mine only cost me $260CDN

LEDs have definately come a long way ... they are now brighter than halogen and HID's (I assume)

The 3rd gen Ram section isn't as busy as the 2nd gen Ram section. We're special.


The only real problem I've found with LEDs, personally, is their propensity to get "lost" in wet conditions. It's hard to describe, but they get damped down more when it's wet outside.

It is really bright, but having 2 lights on there doesn't look as cool.
