    My name is Chris and I am a light-a-holic

    So it started with 4300K HID's in the lowbeams and 3000K HID's in the fogs..quickly added extra 55W driving lights in the back as back-ups

    Then 2 sets of 55W driving lights as rock lights

    2 7" 130W spots and 2 7" 130W driving up front

    then had to add 2 55W (one each side) flods on the side and 2 3" 100W lights as rear spots

    Hello Chris, My name is Jon and I too am a light-a-holic

    But... none of my lights work. I installed them and ran the wires but never took the time to hook them to switches or the battery. I will get to it someday!

    Another light-a-holic here too.

    I'm also a caver, and have a vast collection of some of the most powerful hand held lights known to man.

    Here's my hand held HID lighting up the mile wide bridge over the Columbia river:


    This summer, we toured Ape Cave. (Near Mt. St. Helens) Needless to say, we had a following of people as I blasted the darkness away with that monster.

    Here's my little 3.5" long Fenix P3D hosing down the back yard with photons. It WAS my every day carry light, but have since upgraded to a Fenix PD30 with has yet another 70 or so lumens MORE output.


    Here's my set of 35 watt HID driving lights. The headlights are also upgraded to PIAA's, and the foglights are converted to HID. With all turned on, I can light up 3,000 feet of pavement ahead.


    2006, 4.7L, QTII, Toyo Wild Country M/T 265/70R17 tires, Ultrasport 175 wheels, Rocky Road 2.25'' lift kit, HID off-road lighting, Surco 50x60 roof rack, Foxwing awning, Superchips performance programming.

    Couple more shots of lights...

    My handheld HID:


    Another of a little closer target:


    That's the old milk shed. Our place used to be a dairy in the 1930's. The house is about 150' east of the shed.

    By the way, as you'll note from the beam glare, that's why my upper driving lights are not HID's. You'd never be able to see past the beams except maybe right after a good rain. (To clear the air)
