    Those are the ones that were on the black wagon but they were only regular halogens at that time. The HIDs make a noticable difference.

    What? How can you have too much light?

    My plan is a 4 pod rally style bar at some point. I want daylight in front of me when I'm driving back roads. Looks good, cant wait to see some pics of on/off shots on the road!

    What was the cost?

    I'm just saying, in my opinion. I don't do back roads and off road so this would be too much for me. To each their own though.
  • ZCPower_RZCPower_R familEE
    I got it all for free. I would suggest buying the halogen lights and the HID kit seperately. Manufacturers of HID off road lights seem to be somewhat proud of their product...

    If you guys get any road salts where you live I'd be careful about where the ballasts are located. I've had the wiring completely come apart from corrosion before and it was a pita to endup fixing. Just a thought.
  • ZCPower_RZCPower_R familEE
    We get road salt maybe once every five years around here.
