Default Anybody try GE Nighthawks?

One thing I noticed about our Ram is the headlights dont seem very bright. We traded in an 09 Journey for the Ram and I think the Journeys headlights were better. Anyone else notice this? I just seen the GE Nighthawks for sale but they are $30 a piece.

Not sure they look decent I spent $250 on new HID headlights and foglights so my lights are really bright now.

Where do you guys live that you need such bright lights? Gotta be out in the country, otherwise I can't see any reason for blinding other drivers, unless of course you are blinding each other out on some country road.

I think the stock lights with the fog lights on are super bright. I get flashed all the time by oncoming traffic.....That is not to say though that I would not get HIDs as they are even brighter obviously.

Low beams w/fog lights are bright but turn on high beams on a deer infested country road and you will notice they suck.First day I owned the truck,as soon as night fall I noticed this problem,you are not alone.

if you are getting flashed with your regular bulbs then your headlights must not be aimed properly. I have had my hid lights in for almost 4 months and have not been flashed once and i do quite a bit of driving at night.

Bump. I'd like to hear from anyone that has experience with the Nighthawks as well.

Don't have foglights so that is out. If there is a better option for headlights then why not use it. It's like having ****ty wipers, which I cannot stand. I do live in the country so that makes a difference I guess, deer, cow, racoons etc.

No sir...I have checked them. I think they are flashing with the fogs only. Most people can also tell if the car has HIDS or if they are stock from the color and its not like everyone flashes me. What K do you have?

I have no issue with better bulbs. Go for it! I would advise to get the Fog kit too, and I also hate crappy wipers...LOL

Like I said, i may go to HID in the future but was kindof hoping to see if a new light design would come out front and rear.
