    Well I just pulled the trigger on 3 of them. Once I get my aux. fuse box, switches and breaker wired up, I'll let you all know.

    Hope it works well, the price ain't bad for 9 Cree LEDs in each one. As long as the color isn't bad,

    Good luck!

    $200 for 3000 lumens seems like a ripoff to me honestly
    I would have gone a different route personally

    Dang, 107 on Amazon is great, I am looking forward to the pic and your impressions,

    I used to dabble in LED and home made incandescent flashlights and if you can get 9 Cree LEDS in a package with a metal housing,

    I might be a taker on two of these, should be plenty bright...

    Finally got these wired up and mounted. The lights themselves seem like they are very well made. Housing is powder coated aluminum, the mounting brackets and hardware are all stainless steel. Over all I think they are great for the price. Doing the math, it comes out to about 28 lumens per $1. Hard to beat. Here are a few pics. The night shots are Low, High beams, and High beams with LED's on. The pic really doesn't do them justice. These things are BRIGHT! I was under the impression that these were spot beams but they seem more of a euro beam...which I'm not mad about. I have them ran off of a DPDT rocker and wired to either be On, Off, or On with High beams.
