    My friend bought led bulbs for his 2013 off of eBay those things are #### bright.

    I have Hids on my Volvo headlights and fog lights and I put a 20" LED bar just for those days where it may be hard to see

    Rgr that on the Moose....Years ago, I had a big cow cross in front of me one night in Maine, up on the Airport rd on my way to Calais..I almost hit her, as I couldn't see her until almost too late...After that I put on a set of high wattage aircraft landing lights in the bumper (yeah, they aint cheap)....They will light up the highway for you, and then some....I only used them when necessary, and whatever you do don't forget to dim them for on-coming traffic....Right about now, I'll expect someone from the PC crowd to jump on and proclaim the illegality of such....Well, guess what, I ain't hittin no bull or cow Moose, that makes for a bad day....

    Check is headlights aimed on the road. Sounds like it aimed in the sky. Don't play led bar donkey

    Lower the aim as stated above and odds are it will be way better paccar aims it too high from the factory.. my guess is in rain or heavy snow you don't see a thing from the glare back
