    Anyone have any experience with lights similar to these? Thinking of buying a brighter light for my truck. At night if it’s raining the lines on the road seem to disappear…..

    As I progress deeper into my 30s, a lot of this stuff makes more and more sense.

    In my 20s I went hard at bettering myself. Long hours, tough jobs, brutal conditions just trying to get ahead. Would have loved to have come home to a woman and a hot dinner. Could not find a woman who was interested in anything beyond Saturday night, much less settling down during that period of my life. I just kept at it, working on bettering myself in all aspects I could.

    Recently I've started seeing the roles reverse. They need me, I don't really need them. I'm content with my direction in life, chasing my excellence. No word of a lie, I'm seeing a lot of today's women as a liability - a hinderance to my goals and journey. I'm not going to settle for someone who's not going to enable me to keep pressing forward. A good relationship should elevate both partners to levels they could never achieve on their own. Stagnation and regression are not desirable aspects in a partnership.

    My only experience is in being blinded by that style of lights as well as doingthe blinding. I'm sure they're awesome for the person behind them but man are they brutal for oncoming on a two lane. I had a set on my 359 and they were cheap versions without heat and they'd freeze solid with snow every few miles when it was coming down steady. Between getting flashed by others and the snow buildup I switched back to halogens.

    They will cost more but I like the JW Speaker lights. I have the lowbeams in my 379 & GE brand in my 9900. The GE's are made by Trucklite. What ever you get , make sure you get the heated lenses.

    I run the real speaker setup. Never get flashed. I'm gonna switch them out into another farm truck because they're getting sandblasted and get the heated ones. Got one replaced on warranty this summer with no hassles. Lol your gonna see what you been missing up til now.

    I might add to readjust your headlights per manufacturers suggestion. The only thing worse than that is the guys running 4 low beams with all 4 lit. BB's always crossed my mind when meeting those jokers.

    21stCentury Lot Lizardry. Back in the day, you see a girl roaming from truck to truck, smelling like stale pickles. With TV shows like “The Bachelorette,” you have tons of women roaming around looking for a different pickle every Saturday night. For free. Then, after a decade of lizardry, they get to you and want you to respect them, and get down on one knee and put a ring on her finger. “You want ME to do what???”
