[QUOTE="Nick@Apollo-Optics, post: 1080418, member: 1314"] Hey there [MENTION=22068]Bratch[/MENTION], hopefully I can help. First off, if you look at the lenses of your current Daylighters, you'll be able to tell if you have a spot or spread pattern by looking at the lens. If the lens is completely smooth, like the one pictured below, you've got a spot pattern. Spot Pattern [ATTACH=full]263344[/ATTACH] If the lens has ridges in it, then that's a spread, flood, or fog pattern as seen below. Spread Pattern [ATTACH=full]263345[/ATTACH] Flood Pattern [ATTACH=full]263346[/ATTACH] Fog Pattern [ATTACH=full]263347[/ATTACH] So the cool thing is that if you want to keep your current Daylighters, you can keep your lights and swap the parts from Halogen to LED with the G6 LED inserts and also swap out the lenses so they're all clear. So you'll have spot lenses and then add either spot, driving, or wide-40 inserts because the LED version lights control the beam pattern by the reflector bowl instead of the glass. Here's a link to KC's site so you can check out the LED inserts: [url=http://www.kchilites.com/replacement-parts/daylighter/6-gravity-led-drop-in-pair-pack-system.html]KC HILITES | 6" Gravity LED Drop-in Pair Pack System[/url] In addition to being brighter than the halogen lights, you'll also be using less power going from 130 watts per light down to 80 watts for all 4 lights! Now you'll be able to free up another Aux switch. If you're wanting to upgrade your Daylighters as a whole, you could always upgrade to the Carbon POD lights, but that is a more expensive option. Now, for your hood mounts, if you're wanting to stick with the round light look, the best lights on the market for this would be the Baja Designs XL-R Series lights. You've got a few different options to choose from including beam distance and power depending on your needs and your budget. Here's what the Baja Designs XL-R lights look like: [ATTACH=full]263348[/ATTACH] As for the rear cubes you'll eventually have, you'll be able to tie them into your reverse lights or tie them to an Aux switch. Or both if you use a diode. Hope this helps and please let me know if you'd like any pricing on anything! [/QUOTE]
