I never drive my truck in bad weather, never in winter and never in the rain. When I do drive it on nice clear nights I drive it with the fog lights on because I AM cool…

I run HID's in all four corners, I'm lifted and they light up the road pretty darn well. I have been pulled over 4 times for them and multiple tickets issued. Yeah go ahead, hate me. I try my best to be considerate of others, especially women (they need all the help they can get behind the wheel). I'd hate it if someone blinded my mother so I try to remember that.

Damn, I'm 3 years late! I love my lights and cant wait to get HIDs. If someone dosent shut off thier hi-beams, my new diamond-style heads with Silverstar Ultras PLUS my 100W Sylvania H3-ST's will blind the ******** out of them. Sans the one soccer mom who found out the hard way and thought her '97 Suburban's smoked out heads were bright

I still want to get some Hella 500FF's and take out the measly 55W's and put in my 100W ST's and see how bright they REALLY are

I did the headlight switch mod, I usually just run the corners and bottom fogs. I however use the 130 watts when someone is in the left lane doing 60 or below. . . Oncoming doesnt normally see them bc I'm so far up the person in front of mes a$$

As far as I know I've got a completely stock headlight setup (bought my truck used), but it is damn bright. My truck is also lifted 6" which I suppose could make a difference. Every night I'm out, I'll have one or two people flash me like my highs are on when they aren't. It is nice to have it that bright though. My older F150, I literally couldn't see more than 15 feet in front of me, and nothing to the side of the truck. Hell my highs were dimmer than most people's normal lights. Now I can actually see what's on, and off, the road.
