Help me make a desision

[DarrellB]

I had a set of cheap Baja 1000's on my truck and took them off becuase the housings rusted up pretty bad. Well I'm in the market again for new offroad lights. (I miss my old ones) What I need help with is deciding on the beam pattern to get. I'm going to go with the new KC Slimlites but can't decide on what beam to get I want the driving or longrange but don't know what on would be best for back raod driving and those late nights in the fields spining dognuts.



If you guys could give me a had an tell me your prefrences it would really help me make my desision.



Thanks

the best way to do it is to have a 4 light set up. floods for close and beams for distant.

Check out Light Force lights, they will not rust because they are plastic (composite) and they are adjustable from spot to flood (like a mag light) and have colored filters you can add. I have two of the middle size lights and they are bright. I have blue filters for them that reduce the glare when it is snowing.

I posted about them before but the search feature seems to be not working today... . so check out these links.

These lights are very popular in Alaska and our local NAPA stores carry them. Click on the link in my sig to see the lights mounted on my truck.

I am a firm believer in Piaa and IPF.



I have a set of piaa 80xt and 1500xt on the front of the truck right now. The 80s aer awsome, you see everything and they are just about bright enough to kill anything in the way. They come in Pencil, driving and fog beams. I chose the driving beam for the slightly wider pattern and brightness. They 1500s are an ion crystal fog with a nice broud low beam that fills in under the low beams. This set up handles much farther and much closer than stock lights. They are high quality aluminum housings and have nice wiring harnesses.



IPF makes excellent lights in a varriety of configurations. They are the highest quality and like PIAA you pay for it.



I picked up the piaas through the offroad warehouse group purchase. The one that was set up for Bilsteins but covers everything.



I would defintely recommend this PIAA combo
