    What wattage are the Lightforce lamps 100 or 130?
    Whose brand HIDs at 35 watts/5000º did you compare... or were they higher temps, and thus dimmer?

    I thought the halogens in the lightforces were pretty darn amazing.. then i put 5k 55w hid's in them and my god its unreal. They throw light further than i could ever need it.

    I hate taking pics of lights.....u can never seem to capture the effectivness good enough
    :(

    U do have fog pattern set on ur 170s tho I assume since u have them listed as fogs in ur details..... my genesis are spot, and I have hids for side fill....the genesis spots def reach out more than a 1/4 mile, but they have a larger bowl to reflect off of.....

    u ever have any issues with the ballasts?

    I actually have them adjusted more towards the spot pattern. These reach out waaay further than a 1/4 mile, this is just the only picture i have of them. No issues with the ballasts or bulbs from DDM and ive been running them for a year now. They get plenty of use up here in the winter...

    I've had no issues with DDM HIDs. Theretrofitsource (very reputable place) even uses products from China. 90% of the things you use everyday are made in China so give these a shot before judging solely based on where they are made.

    Stellar customer service, quality control done by TRS to their standards, not to the manufacturers ideas of standards, superior customer service, I believe better shielding better ballasts, and did I mention superior customer service?

    Customer satisfaction.
