    I’ve seen these on the road, but what brands and option are you guys running? Where to purchase? Any issues with wiring, electronics, bulb life?

    Don't get led headlights, especially the garbage afternarket ####, is all they do is blind tge people coming at you. If you cant see well enough with regular old headlights don't drive at night.

    THIS!

    I would like to stab people in the eye who run LED lights. They have no cutoff and are blinding as hell.

    I'd like to throw buckets of golf balls at everything with LED headlights. There's got to be a limit on how bright them things can be, DOT used to break out the aircraft landing lights people would use for foglights back in the day.

    If I’m, for some stupid reason, still driving a truck after my dog passes on, I’m going to cover every square inch of my truck with those 4 ft LED light bars. Then when some ####nut comes at me with aftermarket LED’s, I’ll turn them all on.

    Same goes for cops sitting in construction zones with 4 gazillion candlepower of blue lights blinding the #### out of everyone. We will have a conversation... that is, if they can get within ten feet of my truck without their eyeballs lighting on fire.

    There's a difference between LED and HID.
    One is DOT legal and the other is not.
