offroad lights
 
After my last camping trip I realised that I need better lights to destroy the darkness, I dont really want to go any bigger than 4'' diameter and I am not afraid to pay more for good quality.. what would you recommend? I was looking at the PIAA 510's any thoughts?

Go with something that is HID so you will make the darkness run away crying.

Hmmmm.... I like the PIAA 510's I Have them mounted in my factory fog light hole. Only down side cant figure out how to wire them into exsting wiring harness so they come on and off with the headlights or parking lights.

Kragen HID lights. They make a 4" version and they are cheap.

+1 they are pretty amazing and tuff... seen em survive a head on. easy install too. the ballasts are built in so its 2 wires.

4 on the front and youll never dive in the dark again. always light out!:biggthump

how does that make sense? the fuse panel has constant power, no switch legs there... he would need to tap into the headlight or foglight switch

looks like I might have to try these kragens, has anybody tried the solstice solo L.E.D's? id love to have two of those.

Only really need 2 for anything low-med speeds. I'm going to be running 3 on the front of my truck, 2 clear lense and one amber. I'm running the 7" kragens by the way, and after running the HID's spending money on halogen is a waste.

If it doesnt make sense then use Search, I'm sure its been done before...

BLK02 08-04-2009 09:39 PM

he wants them to come on when he turns his lights on? tapping into the fuse box would make them on non stop no?

BLK02 08-04-2009 09:40 PM

where do I find the kragens? doesnt seem like there for sale anymore?
