Good thing you got those wheel wells cleaned up protected for that salty snow...
Beautiful! Definitely a nice area to see in winter.

There is no road salt in the park. It was beautiful. Also very little traffic, as I climbed the hill to Columbia Icefields I was making new tracks in the snow! Now Calgary is a different story, $10 this morning for car wash, and it's already covered in white s**t salt!
That is a beautiful drive in the winter. Must have driven it 10-15 times already this year. If the weather isn't on your side, that road isn't very nice to travel this time of year, and a lot of "semi" traffic. Valemount is a good stop, bring a sled or rent one, best way to enjoy that weather!
Cheers!

I have HID's and there isn't a single person who doesn't flick their rear view mirror to dim or flip me a nice one. Could be the height of them too. Could be just me, but I noticed with the blue you need more light to in the rain. That when I switch to my aux lights
Nothing wrong with HID's...... Nothing wrong with good Halogens. The problem is putting HID bulbs in Halogen housings. Its illegal and for good reason.
Are H4's halogen housings?

The problem is there is no control on the part of the users. Overbright, illegal output as well. Poor directional installation,
the whole combination.
There is no rationalization for it.

The proper housings have a distinct vertical cutoff. Just look carefully at any of the OEM luxury car (BMW, MB, Lexus, etc) HID setups at night and it's easy to tell. Keeps the light on the road and out of people's eyes.
@franken60, yeah H4s are a halogen bulb housing. They do actually have a vertical cutoff also when used with the H4 halogen bulbs. I actually really like H4s.
There are probably HID housings that fit our trucks and are well designed. Just a matter of looking. LEDs are gaining popularity now too.

Huh, well to my knowledge they are HID's in H4 housings
