    Anyone have any feedback on the "Sidewinder" style ditch lights that project outwards as well as forwards? I guess usually they come in a Left and Right configuration to minimize hood glare. Is this more gimmicky than anything, or is it actually effective? Pic for reference. Any feedback is much appreciated!

    I have the caliraised ones and they're pretty sweet. I have them mounted as ditch lights and wired in unison with my light bar and high beams. Turns night into day!
