    I'm not sure if they're visionX. I work next to a motor pool and nearly all the headlights now on the MRAPs and Hum-vees are LED. Most of the vehicles have at least 2 aux lights - I've seen with up to about 14 (3 on each side, 8 up front). I'm not sure how one truck gets a lot and the others don't....

    Seems like there's 2 different lights - the ones in that pic (8 LEDs? with a filter over the front - good to about 50 yards) and another that has like 6 LEDs with big lenses, kind of like Surefire flashlights. I haven't seen that one in action.

    it truly is an eye-opener. i get to go on R&R starting on 3 July.. gotta be in Bagram on 4th July. puts me in atlanta on about 7-9 July. i will be buying the truck then. :) i cant wait... the good thing about deployment is it makes you appreciate the shit you take for granted and honestly, i have forgotten what its like to NOT have incoming rockets everyday... i cant imagine not hearing INCOMING INCOMING INCOMING!!!! and having to go to the bunkers. but it does give me time to decide what all i wanna do to my truck. oh and appreciate the warmth of ANY woman ;)
