too many lights?

i already had hid low beams and i also had the 30 inch light bar i won a set of rigid led lights from a raffle and i got bored and decided to add them on the truck

the rigid dually lights are a spot beam wired to the high beams

i like the results i can see great with the lows the highs "rigid lights" really get out there and add to the lows and the light bar makes everything else light up

low beams only



lows and highs

Are you worried about it looking weird with that many lights, drawing too much on the battery, or was the question merely a statement?

Just a statement i kinda feel like im getting carried away i wouldnt have went and bought more lights but they were free...

Not worried about draw especialy with led the rigids are only supposed to draw 5 amps...

I do like that when i get on a back road or up in the mountains i can see very well

Im personallly not going with HID's Because its just too much involved and pricey, would love to have a set rom retro fit for HI/LO Beams but, not going to buy a new set of headlights just for the fact.
Gunna find the brightest Halogen/Xenon (Whatever's the brightest direct replacement headlight bulbs i can find) and leave it at that. also i love your setup and would love to konw where you go the bar and the ,Rigids..?, in the grill.. they look like they put out some serious light. Personally i was thinking going oldskool style with the roll bar, 64' panaramic light bar on top, 4 rigids behind the grill and 2 under rear bumper for revers lights, along with finding the brightest replacement fogs for the factory '01 Screw.. PLus a Sht ton of LED's in every replacement possible, interior, turn signals, factory replacement LED reverse lights (if i can find some brighter than the halogens i have) LED tails and 3rd brake light. LED underbody, and a couple 48'' blue LED light strips for underthe bedrails and under the 4" chrome nerfs..... TOO MUCH..?? Nah... i want it to look like day time with blue accents when i turn them all on... already have the battery and the monster a** alternator to push my 2 RF 15's and RF door replacements, with ooohh about 6 of the 1" silk dome tweeters that are placed in various parts of the interior... any insight on the best (Cheapest lol) place to get all that stuff..? Ive checked superbrightleds.com but it seems all i can find through my ignorance are just bulb replacements... Found a thread on here where the "Best and Brightest LED interiors and a few exteriors where listed, but cant find it now... Thanks for any insight and appologies if i went about this the the wrong way or in the wrong place.. But no bro, that isnt tooo much light, wish mine would light up the road like that at night,. minus the HID's of cours... thanks again fellas..

You're worried about price, but everything you just listed, is easily 2-3x the price with not even a quarter of the output

I am, but all I mentioned isn't going to be all at once... Things I want to put on the truck as soon as I'm able.. I'm broke, and a tight a**... The alt and all the speaks, box and subs included, were a gift more or less.. The things I have picked up here and there were really just that, here and there by mostly circumstance and well placed timing I guess.. That's my dream anyway, to have my '01 Screw light up the dark like its daytime... Never hve too many in my opinion.. *Thumbs up*

You could do a budget build and scrounge places like www.hidplanet.com for good deals in the classifieds. Some used $50 projectors and maybe $100 in ballasts and bulbs will give you this with just 35W of power and two bulbs. No need to get carried away with 600 LED lightbars and such.
