I know just what you mean, my BMW headlights have superb pattern and brightness.
My driving lights help out quite a bit on high beams, low beam pattern still sux. Really I think that the truck is in need of headlight replacement with HID projector headlamp assembly.

Macguy,
What wattage HID kit did you use? I installed a 55W hi/lo hid kit and it help out the low beams a good bit. the high beam is still less than perfect though. Then again, I am use to the headlights I had on my BMW that I traded in for this truck....those headlights were awesome.

These project a lot more than 20 feet. They swivel a little up and down and the car wash puts them out of adjustment. I have seen the light in the trees quite a distance. not much but say 200 feet. Since light falls off at the inverse of the square it would be 4 times brighter at 100 feet and 16 times brighter at 50 feet. That combined with a new set of SYLVANIA SILVERSTAR bulbs , it was quite an improvement.

anybody double relay them? when the brights are on the driving lights are on, if upfitter 1 is on, else they are off..
that way they turn on/off with the brights.. I still wonder where all these people are coming from headed into town at midnight and later.. I know I am going home.. out of town.
which lights did you use?

Mine come on and off with the high beams when they are turned on through an up fitter. Low beams and fogs or high beams and drivers. I think they came from NAPA and I didn't install them myself.

They have the 20" E-series that would work perfect.

I think they're 35W Xenon, threw away to box and stuff quite a while back. If you look in that area where I have them mounted, you'll see a hole. I made an L-bracket and bolted it through that hole and then mounted the light it a hole in the L-bracket.
