    I drive about 35 miles on a dark highway everyday to work at 4:30 am... I hit a deer running 60 mph....It scared the crap out of me and my wife.
    So I installed a Auxbeam 5d 32" wide/ spot lightbar and 2 Auxbeam spot beam lights...I use them when driving but turn them off when I see oncoming traffic...( this is a rural area ).

    ...I can see atleast a good 1,000 yards in front of me..It should allow me to brake/ slow down in time to have a chance to avoid this--->>>20221129_080219.jpg

    Here's a pic of my lighting on my truck now--->>>
    20240106_191944.jpg
    This picture doesn't give the lighting justice...TRUST ME THEY ARE EXTREMELY BRIGHT!
    If I stand directly in front of my truck with them on I can not look at them directly..It absolutely will blind you!

    Then it'll be easier to watch for them as you light the ol' beacon-of-illegal-retaliation.

    Cops have a hard time pulling me over when I flick on my 40” Lazer LED light bar I mounted on my roof rack facing backwards. They are lucky if they can pull over themselves!

    If you drive by me on a busy road with a light bar or any other off road bright ass bullshit Billy attention whore lights I’m flipping you off. If you’re behind me with that shit I’m throwing the bed light on or pulling over to let you by. No reason to be running on the road with bright ass off road lights. It’s not OK. Just sayin :crapstorm:
