Dude, me too! Lol


Get some!

On another note:

We'll see how they do over the weekend, will be going on the night run this Sat. Another member in my 4x4 club picked up a set of these, Vision X Tantrum strobe and rock lights which are more $$ but you get 8 lights and they are LED so should last much longer and more resistant to water.

But the site I got my rock light idea from, there are guys running the same exact lights as me with some silicone around the bulb/wires, and have been for a couple years now, so they should hold up fine. But I would like some light in the middle of the TB, so I still may pick up at least 1 more set...

One more pic!

Worked out awesome for the night run I went on last week, was able to spot my drivers side tire/ see wat i was driving over. And the rear lights helped me when I needed to back up to take a different line a couple of times. So far I'm diggin' them.

But after seeing the JK with those rock lights that I posted earlier in the thread, I'd like to upgrade to those if I plan on more night runs... Much better output, and doesn't kill your night vision with the light they put out, plus come with 8 LED's so both sides are completely lit up! Still happy with mine tho, esp since it was on a whim!

What JK pic? I had an unplanned night run up to a communications site the other night so I may want to add something to help with a couple of tricky switchbacks.

I have looked at those. I wasn't sure how well they would really work out though. But since you have seen them first hand they sound like they may be worth it.

Yea for just over $100 bucks I'd get a set for sure, if I plan on many more night runs. They are small and easy to mount anywhere and put out great light that doesn't kill your night vision at all. Plus they don't take much to power them up so they don't run hot at all.

And if you get bored, they have a strobe option as well! Hahaha :dj:
