    It really depends on if you live in the countryside. The Pros are very bright and can't be really used without blinding oncoming drivers. The sport puts out 1,800 lumens at 20 watts, racer puts out 4,300 Lumens at 40 watts and the R puts out 4,900 Lumens at 42 watts.

    Not much to check if there isn't a problem.

    Trans update done if it's an auto?
    (TSB 0077-16)
    Radio at the latest OS?
    (TSB 0103-16)

    If you're experiencing issues, just tell them.
    I work with my customers to identify and resolve issues. Any decent tech will.

    Both versions of the Squadrons are awesome lights. The Pros are going to be too bright to run on the street, the sports are borderline. In amber you could probably get away with it, White you might be pushing it. I did the sports on my 17 and topped them off with a Putco drop in replacement LED headlight bulb and its already a ton of light for street and normal offroad use. Turn on my 2 Onyx 6 bars behind the grill and the XL80s on my A-Pillars and its more than I will ever need and makes the Rigids on my 08 look like cheap stuff. I'll be adding a few more lights in the future like some S2 back up lights in the rear bumper and on the bed rack for camp lights and a full rock light setup. Can't say enough about how awesome their lights are.

    Bluetooth dropout correction. Random rebooting correction.

    Attached: if your OS doesn't match what's in yellow, you don't have the latest.



    Edit: latest info now shown.

    Agree 100% on the Pros vs. Sports when it comes to street use. Sports in Wide Cornering are considered the most "street friendly" with Amber helping even more.
    Definitely a big improvement over stock with the Sport being ~2-3x more usable light and the Pro ~at least 5x. Thanks for the continued support and thanks for being a great dealer of ours! :thumbsup:

    Awesome thanks for the info. Mine has had issues with it rebooting quite a bit. Didn't know there was a fix.

    Thank you guys for making the best lights out there! Were stoked and just about ready to get my truck out of the shop and do some testing with the new setup.

    1.) they match the LED driving light - L shaped led
    2.) They are not as scattered as the OEM lamp - a more defined beam
    3.) they are definitely brighter than the OEM one since they are led - More efficient too

    When I compared the stock with the rigid pro lights they seemed to be marginally brighter with better color temp (match dtrl) but not a whole heck of a lot of difference in overall output.
