    Yep, high is better. Above your headache rack? Are they real bright? Hard to believe they are very bright for that price. What's their output?

    25 watts is only about 225 lumens. My low beam headlights are 2100 lumens. H-9 bulbs.

    I feel naked.

    I accepted a UPS load for this weekend, then remembered that my wheelbase is extremely short. I don't think I can pull a van with my headache rack. I've had a few loads that scratched my headache rack because it's so tight. Anyway, I pulled the rack off since I committed to the load and if I say I'm going to do something I will do it if I can help it. It just feels/looks weird seeing my truck without it on there.

    @Razorwyr if it's a container on a chasis or a pup trailer check the clearance from your mudflaps to the landing gear. They have a deep king pin setting. A lot of guys have ripped their mud flap brackets off on those trailers.

    I think it's a van, but I'll be sure to check if it's not

    Where do you come up with that figure?

    Even an incandescent light bulb gives around 375 lumens of light for a 25 watt bulb and he said it was an LED light, not an incandescent light.

    An LED light would put out around 1500 lumens with 25 watts of power.

    You are correct, sir. My bad. Didn't see the LED part, just the 25 watts.
