    I used to run the mountains about 50% at nights. I was more than willing to spend 700 to be able to see. The stock halogens are trash. Not sure why you would lose 1000 if your one light is out? Its a minor deficiency, keep rolling

    No kidding!!!! I've decided after looking at stuff that I'm not going there. I'll be jogging with you!
    At least not going with Trux, but I'm willing to spend dough on good lights. What i was meaning was that i'm not willing to pay just for cool

    I meant if one goes bad I would have to buy another and wait for warranty replacement....and that during that time I would now have 1k invested in these lights. Once a refund came in for the bad one I would still be out 700+ of course.

    I run dark nights through PA mountain towns on stock headlights and I am fine. I could get more light for less money that these no doubt if I ever feel the need. 700 is insane for the plastic friggin "sealed" lights that have already shown they let moisture in.

    I need 100% perfect lights if I am spending 700 friggin dollars on them! At this price they should overnight one directly to the driver if and one one fails.

    Notb headlights, but I have had the same exact problem when I have changed all the lights on older rigs over to led on several trucks. The sell resistors that are suppose to cure it, and a flasher with an added ground that is suppose to cure it, the only cure I have found is to have an older regular bulb installed somewhere it is not visible. At least that has worked for me, On mine I just put the regular tail lights back in.

    I just ordered a set with an extra of heated led headlights monday morning, as soon as I got back in cell service after wrecking my truck tuesday, I called and cancelled the order. lol
    I was just buying an extra, so if one did go bad, I would not have to wait for another one to be shipped up.
