Yeah, free is free which is why I haven't been too mad about it but it's bad enough to wait about a year for two Form 4's but to wait what looks like a full two years from the time of purchase for the two freebies is certainly pushing the boundaries of the limit. I'm hopeful seeing you got yours that the wait will pay off and my suppressors will start to trickle in now. Slowly but eventually.Quote:

I hear that LEDs don't run hot enough to melt off snow and ice though so I guess I'll find out next winter how big of a deal that will be.

The camera is picking up more light than the eye. In person the focus point of the LED is almost exactly the same size as the standard bulb on the left.

Wow, pretty sure LED was a several hundred dollar endeavor last time I looked into it. Looking forward to your evaluation of the bulbs.Quote:

Since I don't use it on the public streets, I'm still stuck with crappy head lights. I'll do some night driving and report back.
Awesome much appreciated. I'd like to get a light bar for the void in my front bumper, as well as replace the stock Pro4x roof lights with LED. So many projects not enough $.Quote:

The nicer bars you can switch between driving lights and floods and not have them both on at the same time like in my cheapy one. One of my buddies has his wired in such a manner as the light bar can be turned on independently of the headlights like normal, but it also automatically kicks on anytime the headlights are switched to brights.
I definitely wouldn't need anything too fancy, as it would be used for off highway purposes only, mainly for potential nighttime trail runs, or seeing around the campsite at night, etc.Quote:

Here is the one I bought. If I had to do it again, I would have spent a little more for something more usable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks good enough for my uses, thanks for the info, I didn't realize they could be acquired so cheaply.Quote:
