    Alright after researching pretty much every single LED option around these will be a really good deal for the amount of light they produce! try finding other leds for the same price($342) that produces 5200 lumens!

    These lights are awesome. They have some of the best and latest technology on the market and they draw hardly any current at all. Let me know when your ready to order. :)

    Yeah they do look cool, almost as cool as the performance. HIDs in the off road industry are becoming a thing of the past. But hey, if you think they're better than LEDs than more power to ya. You almost need a whole other battery just to run four big HID lights when a decent size LED bar will draw less than two of the HIDs.

    Hella HIDs are good lights, they are just becoming a thing of the past. They are less efficient, less durable, and they cannot cover the road like LEDs do. Not to mention, they are more expensive than the LED bars.

    The new D2 duallys that will be out next week will produce almost twice the lumens as the 4" "E" Series in a smaller package using less watts and drawing less amperage. Plus, the new duallys will be cheaper than say two of the 4" lights. Just something to think about. I can get my hands on some of the new D2 duallys as soon as they're out if you would like to place an order.

    does anyone have a picture of the switch that comes pre-wired with the duallys? is it the same switch as is on the new D2 Duallys?

    Fucking 4 wheel parts!! I knew there was a reason I never go into that shithole... I ordered on Tuesday and my order is still not filled, so I called customer service and they told me the Duallies are back ordered until after Xmas. Not really a big deal, but at least post on your site while ordering that the fucking things are on backorder you jack asses! This will be the last time I ever buy from this poor excuse of a store! Ok... Rant over! :rant:

    Yeah, that happened to me. They sent an email, and I wrote 'em back saying "Then put it on your website!"

    I've just had nothing but issues, delays & stupidity come from 4WP for years... I just reached a boiling point as I received no e-mail or anything stating a delay or back order... It wasn't the back order that pissed me off it was the lack of communication. Did you get your by chance??

    It's probably true that HIDs are becoming a thing of the past. I just bought a (4) 8" HID light bar setup at almost 50% off MSRP straight from the manufacturer. The three HIDs on my bumper and the four on the lightbar may not be the latest but I think 7 HIDs on my truck will still light up the night.

    Point is there are great deals for HIDs now that LEDs are the new thing.

    I do not have a picture, but it is just a small round lighted rocker switch (about the size of a nickel) that comes with the kit. Nothing fancy, but they work. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the new D2's will include the same switch.

    That sucks man. Sorry to hear about the poor communication on their part. The backordered sucks, but they should of had that posted on their website, or at least notified anyone who placed an order. I would be pissed to.

    That was a smoking deal, I'm sure a LOT of people jumped all over that.

    They definitely should of posted it on their website.

    That's awesome. HIDs are still good lights, they are just getting out dated as new technology brings better things. 7 of those bad boys should definitely light up the road. If not, they deserve to be used as target practice. Lol Good buy on the 50% off, that's sweet.

    Yeah I posted that Link on like 4 diff forums so I know a TON of people that just myself directed to the website bought the lights. So yeah there were probably hundreds ordered that day, so a wait is expected.
