I've been considering a set for awhile.
What brand are they?
Is the glare that bad or just how the pic came out?
Light output better than halogens or just more white?

Wing8,

I tried to visit their website and I guess they forgot to pay the bill because GoDaddy had the site parked!

What do the people driving in the opposite direction think of your lights? Any flashing of their lights?

Your 04 uses 9007 headlight bulbs. You may also want to take a look at lifetime led's there are some threads on here about them with some positive reviews and they are backed by a life time warranty. They do look very similar to the ones here but they are the same price and have a lifetime warranty. Oh yea and if you want them there is also a discount code for 10% off its pirate4x4 (thanks brass pass) Here are the links to the threads discussing the lifetime led's

I'd speculate that these two bullet points together contradict one another:

30,000 hours + expected life-span
Internally Fan Cooled

What are the odds that a fan subjected to extreme hot and cold and the vibration at the end of a hard riding truck will last 30,000 hours? Since the fan is there for a reason what lifetime can be expected when it fails?

Have not had anyone flash me I could probably adjust them up a little but they are bright enough now. That is a nice warranty with lifetime may have done that if I had seen it but I like the local business support.
