Ok...got them on my car...which took a little effort...pretty much every bolt on my car is rusted tight...but a little muscle and they come lose...or you pop the head off...one of the two



Anyway...here's a comparison photo of my old lights vs the new ones...I'll have a pic of how they look on the car in the morning.



You guys will just have to pretend the mud isn't on my car...when you live on a dirt road...and in arkansas...your cars don't get washed much

Damn those look better light wise but I want to see them during the day on the car.

I think if it were black instead of silver, it would look better, but good job all the same.



clean your car.

how do they light up at night.. I like the fact that those lights are only a bit over 2 inches in Diameter.. would be good for an FC kit..

black hu?...I'll see what i can do monday



I'm also looking for some different bulbs for the assemblys...they pop out rather easily...but both jcwhitney and the box are of no use...jcwhitney said it used a H3 replacement bulb...which was wrong...and the box calls for something that doesn't exist unless you go thru the dealer of the lights...and I don't think they sell to the public



So i pulled a light out...and its a 50 watt MR16/C...which i found out is a "flood light"...type A is "Narrow Spot Beam"...type B is a "Narrow Flood Beam"...and C is the "Flood Light"...So i have the crappiest of the 3 when it comes to using it as a headlight...figures



The dims are really about the same as the ones I had before...but the brights don't really do much...signs just glow a bit further out...so I'm going to see if I can get some type A's in 65 or 75 watts...probably 65's for lows and 75's for highs...but we'll see what I can find...if nothing locally tomorrow then I'll order some tomorrow night online...but like i said...its no worse than my old lights...so if I have to do much night driving i'll survive



The bulbs i've found that I like so far are made by Sylvania...which i've used ever since I got my car anyway...pretty good bulbs...never had them fail on me...specs...65 watts narrow spot beam...4000 hours of life expected...puts out 14000 Candlepower...wooot ...if I can't find anything better locally I'm going to grab a case of these...have to buy 10 but its only 37.70 for the case...and I really hate it when I run out of bulbs



ooooh...and on a lighter note...the bungee hold down idea worked to keep them from flopping up and down at high speeds

The lights that come in them are not the best...as I mentioned a second ago...it just figures of the 3 types they send mine with the crappy ones...and...its kinda crazy...it says DRIVING LIGHTS all over the box...and the picture on the back even shows them going further than...get this...normal bright headlights...blaaa!



But...what should I really expect...they only cost me 15 bucks a set...and they are really nice for the cash...quite a few I looked at locally would cost me that much just for one light...and they were plastic...like I need that...just something to break



but overall i'd say they light stuff up pretty good...its just lighting it up too close to the car right now...since its not the right kind of bulb...but i'll soon change that
