In Alaska along the arm the railroad is about 50' lower than the Seward Highway.  I was driving home the RR engine light was blinding, I turned my Lightforce 170mm lights on, the RR engine turned his light down from high beam to low.

LightForce Striker 170mm lights will give you all the light you need.

I ended up putting the split beam lens covers on mine, I'll called them my moose detectors, I could see moose before them get up on the road with them.

The OP should go post in this thread with the rest of the boomers. 99% of new vehicles come with LED lights from the factory as in OEM.

My Tacoma has LED headlights and fog lights. They're bright as hell. I love them. I also have a huge LED light bar in my grill. I never use it except on extremely rare occasions but I always turn it off to oncoming traffic.

I will literally stare into those nuclear powered death headlights trying to determine if someone has their brights on or not. If they don’t, I’m just like “fuck, why did I do that?”  If they do, they get mine back and I feel victorious.

Wire a cheap spot/flood lightbar on a piggyback fuse to your high beams, and an extra switch in your cab. It is… illuminating to see what you can see at night with78000 lumens pointing “thatah way” because you basically illuminate 180 degrees for 800 yards.

Another headlight thread huh.
I am one of those folks with way too bright lights. . I am only interested in maximizing the amount of light thrown out the front of my truck. I put led bulbs in aftermarket clear halogen housings and I adjusted my headlights to that my low beams are now middle beams. Halfway between low and high. My high beams are "in your face, mother fucker" beams now.
I also put a 4 foot wide fog light bar on the front of the truck hard wired with a relay to come on when I turn on the high beams, or alternatively I can manually turn it on with a switch at any time.

I did this for maximum light output but once in a while I must confess that when  the odd driver who gets a stick up their dick about my middle beams and decides to flash me their high's in anger. Oh you want to play that game? Ok pal let me turn on my "in your face mother fucker" beams for a while along with the 4 foot led fog light bar and see if you like that.  I will burn your retinas right out of the eye balls.

Why? Because I can. Besides, even my light setup pales in comparison to those fire trucks and other emergency vehicles. Now those mother fuckers know how to party with their lights. They put my lights to shame.

This thread is relevant to my interests, but I need a spot beam in a 2.75" or so diameter housing.

Not for daily dickheadedness, but for the fuckers that can't respect a high beam flash from normal headlights.

Only seen a few answers here to OP's question.  What you seek are the GTR Ultra 2.0 LED bulbs. I have them for headlights, high beams, and fog lights. Like a fucking candle going down the road!  Hitting shit drivers with the highs from behind it still lights up the inside of their vehicle during the daylight hours. Just make sure you have those projector type headlights so you can adjust the cutoff line. Regular lenses will scatter that light everywhere. They are expensive about $200 each. I waited for the fourth of July sale and got the rest during the black Friday sale at Headlight Revolution, if you can wait.

That deer in the headlights thing is a thing.

95% of the time the Rigid 275 watt light bar is covered. The two VisionX Light Cannons are canted outwards slightly with a small overlap in the middle. The headlights are also VisonX. The flood lamps in the bumper are JW Speaker. The A pillars are Rigid broad lights. The lights were the best available 8-years ago and are high performance with good patterns. The sole exception was with the light bar where I needed a dedicated driving light rather than the 97% of them that are combo (light up the hood) bars.

Most of the time the only thing I use are the headlights (duh) and the foglights that have an amazingly sharp cut off that fills in under the headlights very politely. The Light Cannons light up the sides of the road a quarter mile down the country roads I live on. The light bar puts out 275 watts of driving lights that are focused out to about a quarter mile and shine side-to-side across the typical 100' wide cut for a two-lane highway. It's amazing but the light cannons are brighter still.

Those lights were used in the desert to find the next trail and rock.

Never out drive your angels or your headlights my mom used to say.

Can we start a tread on rock lights?

While HID setups are roughly 150% brighter than the brightest name brand PNP LED of gayness while in the legal 35w range (and 4500k) they are not expensive. I've done entire projector retrofits on OEM housings for $70 that rival many OEM projector setups. $70 was bixenon projector, 4500k HID bulbs, 35w ballasts, High beam splitter to use factory high beam as well and the harness adapter.


On the flip side I have ~$300 into the retrofit in my DD which is epic and does quad high beams. Sadly my demon eyes died a couple years ago.
