    Driving a truck at high rates of speed offroad....u almost cant have enough light...it makes a huge difference in hitting the wheel breaking ditch and avoiding it. Headlights dont cut it. What I see alot of is people have all these lights but there's no thought involved with em...placement per purpose, beam pattern, hood glare etc...maybe it's just me but a "tuned" light setup is nice to have....in the offroading sense anyway

    Hood mounted ditch lights that arnt aimed TOWARD the ditches....smh

    The next 10 years are supposed to be really low activity, don't count on seeing them if you go north. I'm in Northern BC and they got super active in 2015, clear as can be auroras almost every night.
    Haven't seen them more than twice the past two years.
