(Yes I know I sound like a broken record but...) Has anyone really tested the range of these lights mounted up top in a real world way?

I guess I'm asking because I'm running the LightForce Striker 170 HIDs on the hood, and I am comfortable saying I can see a cow or large boulder in the way when moving at high speeds out to about 300 yards. Plenty of time to stop or adjust my course.

But that's the limit of not only my lighting, but my eye's ability to recognize an obstile as well. I'm having a hard time imagining seeing something of that size at nearly 3x the distance, when getting tossed around by the truck as I'm flying over the dirt, even if I had a light that could hit it.

Your Lightforce Striker 170s at 80 feet....


Compared to my HIDX shooting a cone @ 100 feet....


I think yours plus mine is just what I'm looking for and it would be insane!!!
