I picked them up at a local automotive store. Got a deal on them cause i know the family that runs the store. They run 55 dollars each, I got them for 40 taxes included

just to note: don't use these lights on the road around other cars. since each lamp has 2 bulbs, they are illegal (unless you already knew that!)

Yeah, they are bright, i wasn't planning on it. But if some S*it head decides to drive with off road lights on and doesn't turn them off, I'll light him up like a sun.

You have a model number for them?

so if it only has one bulb (like hella 500ff's) they are legal?
