OE the link shows 8 lights total, theyre driving and fogs.

im planning on ordering two kc 150w long range 385,000 candlepower lights, ill bet my truck that those 2 lights will be brighter than the 8 your looking at. now if you just wanted a crap load of lights on the truck for daytime asthetics then ok.
i emailed the seller asking what the candle power ratings are for your lights. im guessing 100k for the driving and 50k on the fogs.

why are you wanting lights?

wait just read your thread once more, youre looking for a set for your light bar, so not 8 lights, hrm the link pulled up 8 lights.

hey just got a reply from the seller, he said they're over 300 000 candle power

Dont know why on the title it says fog light and driving lights. You can't use them on regular roads, too bright youll get a ticket. Those are off road lights. What I'd be concerned with is durability, if you do take your truck off road or hit speedbumps hard I wonder how many jolts it can take before they bust.

i definatly just want them for off roading. I wasnt neccesarily gonna use all 8 of them, but i was thinking about putting 4 up front on the light bar and possibly 2 behind the grill.... im a little not so sure on the durability as well....but the price is great.

maybe you ought to just use 4 of em and keep the other 4 as replacements.

like i said id just be worried about the vibrations and jolts theyll be taking.

Well let us know if you order them and what you think of them


OE - did you wire in your lights? How long did it take you? I think I may order that set of 8, and put 2 on my bull bar and 2 inside the grill. And then look at mounting 4 on a sep switch on the bed rail caps, yeah that's a little neck but I take my truck to the coast a lot and would be nice to light up the are. Or just the 2 bed rail openings by the rear cab.

I wired them, but I bought a wiring kit. it helped the process go along a lot faster. It was only 20 or so buck at o'rileys. came with a switch and everything.
