Hmm it still works for me, but do a google search for northern tool and equipment then go to spotlights and you will find it.

oh ok... I already have a10 mil candle spotlight... i need some other lights, like bumper mounted. but those spotlights sure are nice, best thing for coyote hunting. all you need is that and a .270, .30-06, 7mm etc and a good scope... 700 yds, looks like daytime.

Oh yeah those lights will light up farther than most people can shoot or most guns have for an effective Kill range for sure

I looked at some 5 inch 55w ProComp Explorer Series lights today. They're $29 a piece from a local truckshop. Does anybody have any opinions on them?

I'm planning on getting the non-fluted lenses as well. The lady said that the fluting...lines in the lense....cause the light to diffuse which I don't think I want. This is my daily driver vehicle and will mostly road use.

I think I've changed my mind and I'm gonna get the 100w lights. The lady mentioned something about melting parts due to to the heat generated by the lights...that has me concerned/curious. I'll be sure to let you know. I'll either be grinnin' like a kiddie a Christmas or mad as hell that it doesn't look as cool as I'd hoped or it didn't come together like I planned.
