    If you feel you need LED headlights to drive at night then you should take the bus wherever you need to go.

    Come run the old 4”x6” halogen lights on my kenworth. The low beams are practically useless, thankfully I don’t run a night much. I should really spend the money on a set of JW Speaker leds.

    Never had any complaints with mine, been running them for years and run mostly nights. Maybe you have a voltage issue?

    One could say if the light is bothering you then you have no business running at night?




    On a side note, i saw a LED war unfold today, it was funny. Northbound 94 near Michigan and Indiana border. Someone got brake checked and they both high beamed each other. One sped off it seems. The guy who got brake checked has high beams that can give you an xray. I think it scared the brake check dude. Both had super bright low beams

    Same here,high beams not that much better, BUT, I prefer running at night and have darn good nightvision. and theyre more than plenty, especially in rain and snow, its nice to not blind myself.

    I don’t know about you guys but stock KW and Peterbilt headlights make me feel like I’m closing my eyes and praying. They’ve got to be colluding with the aftermarket light-industrial complex

    Technically they are- it’s called PACCAR!lol;)
    Most of these trucks running these LEDs are a PITA sometimes-it’s like watching a nuclear weapon being detonated(yes,that bright).

    Funny thing is I saw my first flood light like LED on the side of a truck. It was on his drivers side to of the cab, but bright enough to anger passers by. I’m guessing it was there to keep 4 wheelers out of his side.

    People who have LED light bars should be lowered into a woodchipper... feet first.

    See that on A LOT of older Volvo trucks. And those owners know d*** well those light bars are for off road use only!
