    I think you should install a light bar in the center gap of the valence. Always wanted to do that to mine.

    Not hard at all, just get the correct light bulb type and buy an HID kit for it. Just like putting HID's in your stock headlights.

    Do it! You can get a 20" light bar for cheap!

    Why are lumens glorified then and you hardly hear about lux readings with lights and their advertisements?
    I feel like that would be a better, more honest way of giving you the idea of the light output...

    hahaha dude..its advertising..thats like asking..why do i see Mcdonalds show perfect amazing burgers but fail to mention its a 1300 calorie burger with lots of preservatives in it..

    Or a drug company saying "WE have the CURE for YOUR problem!!!" and then listing the 50 side effects that include total hair loss or something but mention it super fast.

    or why speaker companys say "3000w SUBWOOFER!!!!"...but fail to mention its actually a 400w RMS sub..

    get the point?

    Numbers sell..remember when it used to be "candle power"? same damn thing, just new name.

    Yeah saves you about $100 bucks as opposed to going w/ the HID 240s off the bat, which are pricey as fck.
    Agreed. Like I said, my 12v 240 spotlight does it's job very well

    Poly Performance sells LightForce 170 HID's for $460, so I think I'll bite the bullet and buy those when the time comes.... Might as well go all out and do it right the first time haha

    Yup, comes with the clear spot filters, yellow filters, and lock-nut kit. Not sure if all of them come with that, just thought it was cool...
