Honestly man I have 4 of theses lights on my truck and I dont know how I went so long without them. If you are looking for a light that will light a farm road up like its daylight than this is the light for you the 6" 150 apollos are great the only thing I was a little iffy about was the light housing is made of plastic but its definitely proven itself to me haven't had any problems with them and its going on 2 years. Hope this helped you out have a good one.

The spot light have a liger range than the drivin lights. The spots have a more beam like effect as where the driving have a wide come like effect. I suggest spot for more light down range.

TYPOS BEFORE :The spot lights have a longer range than the driving lights. The spots have a more beam like effect as where the driving have a wide cone like effect. I suggest the spot light for more direct distance. I have both the driving and spot lights on the front of my truck.

Spot beam is good for long range sight, the driving lights brighten a shorter and wider distance to cover the road in front. I recommend both for optimum visibility.

I wanted my KC lights for the same thin, watching for deer or other animals on dark roads. The spot lights reach out very far where the flood type lights illuminate around the vehicle but not out very far. My spot light KC's work great and reach well down a dark road doing exactly what I wanted. Hope this helps.

I run the spots and the driving lights on my truck on my light bar. They both do a pretty good job the driving are more focused while the spots have bit of a flood effect either one will light the road in front of you good enough.

Hi again Wm. I see you've gotten a fair spread of replies. I purposely went outside at dusk this evening and panned across my pine and oak forest property so I could get a sampling of light and shadow. I could make out good detail at maximum viewing distance. There are probably more expensive products out there, but in this price range, these are probably as good as it gets.

I have a set of three for each vehicle. At NIGHT, they are really bright--they will really get one's attention a good distance away. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for warning at night. In the DAY, I would not use them at all. In the flash mode, The LED that is directly inline with the eye is sort of visible but at 60 feet away, it won't reach out and grab you. The two LEDs on either side of the one inline with the eye are reduced even more in visibility.Bottom line: At night--awesome. In daytime--not!

I'm actually ready to upgrade my lighting. These were great starters, but I new better lighting for my Pinups. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't go with the 55W set. It's overkill for street use and you will get flashed at by other vehicles especially since you do not have HID Approved projectors. 35W HID kits are plenty bright and you will see better with them then the 55W units. Yes, I would definitely purchase the warning/anti-Flicker capacitors. It will help with possible issues and work like a charm. Most of the time you can find them for little over 5 bucks so how can you go wrong. Also there is no 600k set. I am sure you meant to say 6000k. Personally I would stay with 4500 - 5500 k which give you a much whiter and clearer light. At 6000k there is less light output and the color of the light is starting to get more bluish. Still I have ordered them for a friend and she likes them. Once they warm up the blue isn't too bad. All a matter of taste. I would not go beyond the 6000kelvin range unless you want the ricer look.

I'm Dorothy's son Rick. I can't Help You, That's Not the Light My Brother Got. His is the 69260 the 69215 is for quad rails it says. I will say this, his is very bright, almost hurts your eyes at night. We live on 5 acres and I can see deer at the back fence line with his. The back fence line is, let me get the rangefinder, 164 yards from the back door.

Hello Crystal, My NCSTAR ARLSRG is currently running on older batteries and in the sunshine GREEN Laser has a 50 yard spot, in the dark it's 100 + yards. The red laser has much less range in daytime but the nighttime range is almost as good as green. Also during sunny daytime it depends on what the target is color wise as to how much range you'll get. I use a range finder to measure my distance and this particular laser is the best I've had so far and green lasers are superior to Red lasers. John

The slim lites I bought were the fog style and I have no problem with on coming traffic. The driving lights should be ok as well. The long range lights are a problem, but I have mounted up high on my jeep. The fogs and driving lights are on the front of my F-250 and I have no problem. mike

I don't know what is recommended but I use wilson antennas on all my cb's I have used a lot of different brands and have found the wilson's to be consistantly good. I have several different models I use depending on the car or truck or jeep. I use the 500 (lil wil) on the trucks, 1000 on the car and flex on the jeeps and buggies. I have used K40's and all 3 have lost connection inside the base ( had to cut them apart, sodier them and epoxy them back together. Most of the name brands are good and a good rule of thumb is the longer the better. and don't forget to set the swr's, (just my opinion I could be wrong)

9006 low beam hid kit...I'd suggest 6000k if you like a glacier blue...10,000k if ya want a smurf for headlights lol

Get one of these (good enough for medium plant growth) plus a 48" Ray2 Daylight (much brighter colors and adds some additional light for that 90 gallon). I'm running this exact combo on my 72 bow front, and the daylight is a little too much to have on all the time for the loaches...

I put a fuse in line. I am running the KC fog lamps, and the KC spots on my Jeep. I'm running a 50" LED light bar on my Ram. I never run anything with out a fuse. They are not that expencive to buy. If something happens, you want that fuse to blow rather than run the risk of catching your vehicle on fire.

I believe it is the spread of light 30 degrees would be more narrow beam of light and 60 would spread out twice as much. 30 seems to be good for driving at night. As long as you remember to turn off the lights before an on coming car gets within a 3/4 of a mile My friend said that even at a mile they were bright to oncoming traffic.

For one thing, you get significantly better light gathering capability, extending your hunting time. A few years back, my daughter and I were deer hunting in a blind late one afternoon. I was using a cheaper scope on my 30-06 and she had my .308 with a recently purchased Leopold. It was getting late and I couldn't see well enough to take a good shot, so I told her it was time to go. She said "No Dad, I can see fine!" She handed me her rifle and I was amazed at the difference. After that, I have only bought Leopold scopes.

I bought some eBay led headlights that were rated at 150w. The results were not good. Put an HID kit in there instead and it was easily 3 times bbrighter , however the spread is horrible but I have yet to try to aim the headlights. I think that a stock halogen bulb with high output might give you the best balance. Best of luck. I don't regret the hids though, serious upgrade

I believe the sightmark comes with a rather tightness ir flashlight and is good out to about 25 yards. I have a sightmark ghost hunter but have only used it in backyard with a marked yardage range.
