I LOVE these new lights!

I have a pair on my rig and am pretty happy with them, I did get one replaced by Checker Auto because after I washed it I noticed that one of them had fogging on the inside of the lense. Hope they last, and it sucks to hear that you cant replace the bulbs.
 
speaking of HID's. I was on 4wheel parts website earlier today and found this:

Hid Driving Light

I haven't bought any HID's and haven't looked around at them too much so i dont know if its reasonable or not. But I do know the sale ends in 4days. :beer:

I'm not paying over $500/light when I can get two Checker HIDs for $200.

Waste of $$$, IMO.
 
I got a pair a couple weeks ago, . . ... . :eek:

I need to run the wiring through my high beam switch and relay so I can kill all that blinding light quicker, I just got my FSM back but if anyone has the location and color code for the high beam ground wire in front of them I'd appreciate it.

I am WAY impressed with the amount of light from only two, my little bro is looking at a set of lightforce units, anyone have opinions of them? they can be upgraded to HID for a couple hundy, just wondering if that is worth it.
 
If he's looking at the 240's, he probably wouldn't need an "upgrade" unless he had $$$ to burn!

I'm not saying that it's not worth the $$$, but they would be pretty adequate for most users... FWIW.
 
he ordered a set of these HID's from schucks yesterday based on this thread that I linked him to, can he be an honorary MUD guy if he's driving a Tundra? :D
 
I don't see why not... There's a guy here named DBAX, his truck isn't even a Toyota. :meh:

I absolutely agree. I you are going to spend $500 per auxilary lamps, get the Hella HID's.
 
I just picked up a set ofthe HID 7" Schuks for $89 each. What I need to know is how much space is on the front bumber to to mount them lights . The lights are deep in back.

So I need to know will it fit on a stock bumper and not hit the grill .
If it will hit i need to make somthing here to bring with me to get them on.
Im taking them to Cambodia so its easer to make some brackets here and have them ready to mount up.

Any one have some ideas??

Any one have one on hand and there 80 with them to see the fit?

Thanks

Im heading back in 15 days
 
do you have them all wired together? Or separated top and bottom switches?

Curious to see a pic of just the 2 bumper-mounted lights would look like. ( I would guess most would only be running 2 lights on their setup, I intend to)

Looks great by the way!
 
I used a scrap piece of 1/8" x 2 x 4"aluminum strap pop riveted to the bumper, not ideal but functional till the tube bumper gets done.

not a good picture but all I got for now.

Kragen has them on sale right now for $99.

They also have a 4" version for $95, also 35W. Anyone tried the smaller one? Still a Euro-Beam or pencil beam?

I tryed the 4" at the store and i did not like the light pattern. Both at 35W the 7" looked much brighter, I think the 4" may have been more pencle beam .
Also I would test eash one at the store one of the 4" I tested did not work .

Any way bigger is better.
 
I have the 7" ers, did not test the 4" so have nothing there for you.

yes; no, they will not fit on a stock bumper unless you remove the grill:rolleyes: or add some kind of stand off, I'll get a close up of what I did in a bit, PM me and I'll send you as many as you want.

Are these made by one of the major off road light manufacturers and then just sold under a different name? I too am concerned about the longevity of these lights.

They are made by a leading light mfg in china. From what I see they look good . This is there sponsored Toyota.
They also make coffee makers and Reusable Hemorrhoids Staplers:eek:

Can replace the bulbs Bulb Type:H3 35W 6000K Try tighen the screws to clamp the gasket tighter also they have the drain hole in the bottom so if water is sprayed at the bottom hard it can get in but should drain back out.

Hi guys,
New member here from Australia. I am very tempted to get two of these 7" lights (The Red ringed one, not the polished metal type).

What are they priced at in the shops these days? Any kind member feel like being a freight forwarder? Please PM me or email me at airscare@gmail.com

Thanks,
Dan
