[QUOTE="BigJ, post: 132162, member: 62"] After lots of reading and investigating and talking with some very experienced folks... I totally agree with OR that the Vision X 4500s and an LED bar up front is just about the perfect setup. And that's the way I'm gonna go... someday. As for today, after investigating the costs of various options, I've had to resign myself to using what I already have. The 'good stuff' is beyond my means at the moment, and rather than throw a couple hundred into lights that probably wont work as well as what I already have, I figure I might as well save the $$ and use what I got. And that means moving the LightForce Striker HID 170s from my bull bar (where I hated how they worked) to these mounts. I haven't done the wiring or aligning yet, but here they are mounted up. [ATTACH=full]185946[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185949[/ATTACH] I don't hate them as much as I thought I would. Instead I really really really just don't like them. At least, from an asthetics perspective anyway. It remains to be seen how I like them (or not) from a functional standpoint. Gotta get them wired up and aligned before I know that. As for clearance... that all depends on alignment. The base on these is reversible, and flipping them around allowed them to sit back some, which gave enough room to install and seemingly clear the hood. But its so close that after aligning them right, I may find all my clearance gone and that the hood hits. We'll have to see. More to come later. [/QUOTE]
