OT: Just ordered these up

Decided to try some new lights. Getting rid of my Light Force and decided to try some Rigid Industries lights. I was at the track friday night with the Alligator crew and they had them on their trucks, and holy cow what a difference they are from the Light Force. Should be a nice purchase.

Dually D2


Also, picked up some 2010 Super Duty Taillight assemblies, my rear conversion is just about complete. only waiting on those.

Lights

Pretty kool. I have been looking for some improved lighting, these might be the ticket. Not too expensive either.

I've been looking at those for a while hoping someone would buy some and post a review. What did you go with? Spot, flood, or driving lights?

Me too. You should look into this Amazon.com: Outback Black Mongo Cree LED 3 Watt Flashlight: Home Improvement

I can hold that out my window in the dark and it's brighter and shines farther than my headlights when you're in the middle of nowhere with no city lights to interfere with things.

Hmmm Chris, I might pick one of those up. I have 3 LED Maglites in my truck now, 2D, and two 3D. All 3W and man I love them.

Are those just regular LED or Cree LED's? If you want to talk about distance, the difference in LED and CREE is like comparing a bic lighter to your truck headlights.

This one is less money and isn't too far behind the other one I linked, but it does have a rubberized case. Indestructible 3C 140 Lumen Flashlight-DIY3C-B at The Home Depot

If you can spotlight out 100 yards or better with yours and still identify objects, you've probably got a similar light. I can light up a barbed wire fence and recognize it as a fence with t posts at 100 yards with mine.

I ended up buying my wife a new Jetta TDI, love the car!!! Decided to keep the truck, have too much money spent on it for someone else to enjoy it, lol. THe light will be mounted on the bull bar where my Light Force are mounted

I went with the driving. I am a light freak just like someone else said. I saw how these light up on Alligator Performances truck compared to my Light Force, and it is night and day difference, pun intended too. Already have the light force sold too, LOL

Gotta be a Cree LED or it's false advertising. Think I'll order one. I use Surefire flashlights on a daily basis, always have a e2e LED in my pocket. They are a bit pricey but well built and lifetime warranty.
