No night picture. I just received them today via UPS and I am still waiting on the wiring harness... No power yet...

These lights are 6.8 inches in diameter. Must be metric since the company LightForce is an Australian concern. The info on these lights are 650 meter and 350,000 candle power per light.

The price I paid for two LightForce Striker 170 running lights was $225.62 plus $49.00 for the wiring harness... I have ordered five sets of different snap on filters for about $25.00 per set... Incorrect price on the lenses, $50.00 to $60.00 per set...

I'm still waiting on the other spot yellow and combo crystal clear, they should be here Tuesday. My truck has the clear spot clear lens on. The amber is and combo lens and the other yellow is a wide angle. The different lenses are for fog, haze, dust, snow, sea spray, snow, and increased clarity.

Looks great. Be sure not to follow anyone to closely. One rock will wipe out that investment.

These lenses are ballistic plastic, this quote is from offroaders.com... "The lenses are of an interesting shape, sort of a shallow conical shape. It seems that there is a good reason for this design and that is serves some purpose like possibly deflecting heat. Lightforce reports that the lenses are made of a virtually indestructible, shatter-proof lens material called "POLYCARBONATE (LEXAN)" which can withstand a violent impact and extreme thermal shock. I was told that tests of these lenses involved firing a 25 caliber bullet at the lense which resulted in minor damage when the bullet was deflected away and did not penetrate the lense. This is one test I'll take their word on. I suppose this is one of the reasons the military uses these lights."

I'm confident with the structure. Also, Frontiersman has been using them in Alaska, where the state police also use them, without any issues....
