    Buy a whole #### load of headlights for $1500. And what are you doing to knock so many out anyway?

    I found Ken's model. Cheaper than the leds alone.

    Most emergency vehicles will run their headlights through the signal control box which "wig wags" the lights on and off in emergency operation. Has the tendency to burn them out a little faster than normal usage.

    No, not a salesman. I work for a fire department and also do quite a bit of highway driving. We got these lights in our trucks and I wanted to pass around the success that we have had with them. I see many trucks on the highway that use this light set up and wanted to pass along what I had found.
    In our application, we beat the tar out of lights on a daily basis and end up replacing them quite often. We cannot afford for a truck to be out of service and these lights solved that problem too. I am amazed at how much light they put out and the LED technology behind it all.

    I got a set of ultravision low beams at wal-mart for about $9 a piece.I have to say they do help alot on my W9.I would recommend them highly.Seems to put more light right in front of the truck.Much better in rain or on a newly paved highway.LED would be great but I'll have to wait till they're affordable.

    Have these headlights come down any in price? Places that carry them still seem sparse.

    Oh, and where can I get a Peterbilt Couch? :D
