    I picked up a T660 this month, and I thought my Volvo had some of the best factory headlights, until I flipped on my headlights on this T660.... WOW is all I need to say! It has the HID factory set on low beam and regular high beams. On highbeam I kid you not, you could pick the butthole on a gopher at 100 yards!

    Unbelievable, after running W900s for the past 5 years, and spending tons of money on fancy upgraded lights that either were bright, but burned out prematurlely, or shuddering at the HID upgrade of 2-300 a light, to wiring in extra driving lights. Kenworth has finally stepped up and made a decent factory headlight.


    I have never been a fan of modifying the electrical systems on these trucks, or buying upgrade kits from Ebay, only to spend 3hours butchering my headlights, then have the system fail 4 months from now, and be in the dark.. my #1 reason why I never did upgrade anything. I am more of a plug n go kinda guy, without spending thousands of dollars LOL

    Anyone else run T660s and expirence these headlights yet? if not, try it.

    I had an 09 Peterbilt and those were awesome too, but I think this 660 has it beat.

    I drive a 2013 T660 and headlights are crap. I need to figure out HID kit for it or something, Im scared to drive it in the dark. Brights are ok, not too bright though, however lows are like I'm driving a 20's car with candle lights.
