    Yeah when i ordered the hid kit for them i completely forgot about the 55 watt kits :( then later i wished i wouldve gotten them instead haha :p

    Which would you rather have, an LED light bar that puts out 5500 lumens, or 2 7" HID floods that put out 4100 each?

    7" lights. Not matter what light setup you go with you will need something like that. LEDs are great but they just don't have the range yet that halogen lenses do or HID.

    It's not always about lumens.

    I am pretty damn far away from Utah still... I am located in Tucson, so 2 hours south of Phoenix. Yeah they are nice wheels, they actually came from a 2010 TRD and I painted them with plasti-dip. The plasti-dip has been on there for one year without any issue, but let me tell you painting and masking them off was a pain in my butt!

    So the 500's with the 55w kit is the way to go for price and output?

    Anyone found anything worth while in the 5inch range?

    I could have made a detour :p i was just killing time really haha.

    My first attempt was what i really wanted to do but the clear on the wheels were peeling and they just kind of looked like crap. Plus when i was pulling my masking i wasnt patient enough and messed up my straight lines :p

    So now they look like this!

    I bought some rims and tires off of craigslist and I got them for a great deal I think $450 w bfg's ko with 30% tread, the wheels have no curb rash or peeling in perfect condition... They look a lot better with my newly installed billies 5100's in front set at 2.5'' and the 5125 in the rear with a leaf pack...happy with the ride and look!
