I tried running just led bars at first, but they just don't throw far enough compared to an hid spot.
I have lots of wide open, high speed trails around here with hard corners following 1 mile wide open stretches. You want to see that stuff coming as far out as possible.
I now run four 75 watt 7" hid spots, two 4" 55 watt hid spots and a 20" (10 watt led) bar underneath them. I'd say I've got double the range now vs a 40" + 20" bar.

Me! Me! I've exhausted my mod funds for the next 20 years (according to my wife) but I'm looking for round fog lights and might be talked into replacing my KC Slimlites for something similar, round, but LED. I like that round look, but the yellow light not so much.

ZB - We've got 7" lights that put out nearly 9000 lumens each! They're available in spot, combination, or flood patterns and have a beam distance of 1500m, 1300m, and 1000m respectively...if you have any more questions, just holler!

Those look like a good deal. I'd like a 7" light, but the depth is what's holding me back.

As in cowl mounts ?
I tried some 7" up there, and it created a bad blind spot, and looked a little silly.

Yes. I have 6" slim lights right now, and it think 7" would look great. But the blind spot concerns me.
