Well it's my turn to ask about something. Have any of you on this form ever installed The BRITE Box on your truck and how did it work for you. Out here in New Mexico we have a lot of wide open roads that the extra lighting would be nice to have. It looks like all you do is unplug your lights and plug it in line with your lights. I have found a lot information on this site,maybe someone can help me on this.

 

I'll bite. Here we don't try to dry up the road before we get there.
What are you referring to; a bank of lights (flame throwers) and it's wiring system?

 

I've read about this on this forum before and seen one or two web adverts for this...

Not sure if it's just snake oil or what..

.....BUT apparently, you plug this magical black box in between your factory headlight harness and the headlight bulbs themselves and it's supposed to make your lights like 20% brighter or something to that effect.


If it were me, I'd save my money and buy a set of aftermarket driving lights like some PIAA or Hellas.
Me personally, I'm sportin' Sylvania Xenarcs and love 'em!!

If that is what it does, not a good idea because it should shorten bulb life.
Much better to replace bulbs with 20% brighter bulbs and run normal voltage levels.
I did this in my Lincoln 4 years ago and not had blown lamp yet.

 

What the brite Box does is keep the low-beam filament ON when you switch to high-beams (normally the low-beam filament is turned-off when high-beams are selected). Nothing is done to alter the voltage to the bulbs. It also keeps the fog lamps ON when you switch to high-beams. For more info check out www.bakerautoaccessories.com and http://www.motorhaven.com/product.ph...&cat=43&page=1 offers it for $99.99.
I like the concept, but $100 is a bit too much for me when I can do the fog lamp mod for free (search this site for fog lamp mod).
If it sold for around $50, I think it would rock.

 

I have the Brite Box on my F 250 and F150. It is a great product. It doesn't make the bulbs any brighter, but it lets you run the fog lamps, the low beams, and high beams at the same time. It is a plug and play install, no wires to solder or cut. I highly recommend them! I bought mine at Motorhaven.

 

Was thinking about ordering this for my 06 F150 Lariat. I have aftermarket lights which has split the highs and lows and would like both to run at the same time as most aftermarket Highs suck @$$. Do you have to buy two or just one and it works for both sides, even though only connecting to one side where the battery is? Some sites state to buy ONE per vehicle, but was wandering how it tricked both sides if it only connects to one side.

 

Had it on 3 trucks, it works and bulb life is not affected.
