    I am not really into the lighting game, so I'm kind of a dummy lol. I haven't gotten lights mostly because I don't wheel at night and it seems really expensive lol

    I live out in BFE according to most people. It gets pretty dark and the animals come out. Have lighting for that, and it comes in handy. Always shut em off when other cars are around though..

    I’ve got a switch pro and trigger wire connected to the high beam. It’s fantastic. Don’t even have to think about it. I use them all the time (also out in BFE)

    For people with the fancy new trucks, it also works with the auto high beams. I’ve tried it out on my tundra.

    Night wheeling is a jam though. But I hear ya, lighting (good lighting) is not cheap whatsoever

    You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to lighting. Buy once, cry once.

    I see trucks loaded with eBay lights and i have more output from a single set of duallys.. Plus they actually last.

    And for those following along at home, ditch/rock lights need to be white. Not amber. If you want them to actually help at night.

    Yeah. Amber is good for fogs or something else up front for visibility in snow or rain. Anything else should be white

    Would be my roommate. That was the first pro charged Tacoma. Lol

    The purpose of the ditch lights weren't going to be for the purpose y'all thinking of. More to illuminate my campsite on the side without hurting eyes.

    Could always put them on my Prinsu under the awning.

    I think it should be against the rules to make a headlamp that doesn't have a red light option.

    I just love how the amber matches the DRL's.

    You can also get multicolor strips so you can toggle between white / red / amber

    Oh, not super important.

    If I get any technicolor stuff, I'll get one of those buggy whips like @Sociopenguin

    Agreed with @Shellshock !

    I was very hesitant about buying the Rigid. The specs, and Jerry's recommendation sold me. I have not regretted it for one second.

    Absolutely! In this case, the premium price is justified with quality and output.

    Yes! I flip them on, and it's like having daylight for 50-100' in front and on the sides!

    Not a great picture, but it kind of shows the effective area they light up.

    Okay. Hold on. Maybe I want a couple of small pods that do what yours do. They are honestly impressive.
