Fark me some people are making a shit load. Why wouldn't you just go buy lightforce for $500?!

Get someone to stand at the end of your street in black clothes and see how well you can see them. They reflect off things really well, same with the HIDs. The HIDs take a couple mins to warm up and then they're bright as hell. I got my mate a 30" single row led bar and it's so bright... I'd like to compare it to a 30" Double row to see if it's worth getting a double row.

I haven't given the chance to let the HID's warm up yet as the Wireing harness will fail before it gets the chance. Have a new one to install not quite sure if i like the mouse switch.

I had some 9"s before from victory but non HID, they turned night to day pretty much.

As long as i can see a kangaroo in the distance and get enough time to stop.. At branchilna gorge i lost count how many i almost hit.

Some day also every 4x4 owner will catch on to how over priced some people are charging for these things.. Its fair factoring in postage costs and postage cost incase its fails for warranty so you arnt out of pocket when they do, and why people buy from au instead of china, but when charge 3-4 times as much is a bit wrong.

Also some of these chinese sellers give different prices at different times, i sent a heap messages for quotes and then asked again a week later. Some were dearer and some were cheaper for exactly the same thing i asked before. Depends on when you catch them! :wink:

I have bought a lot of chinese stuff, from HID's to LED bars to LED modules to Torches Etc , i have yet to have one fail. and i have bought hundreds of things. just cause they are made in china (like everything else is) doesnt mean its crappy quality. even the likes of Hella are made in china. in the end you do get what you pay for but these days just cause its cheap doesnt mean its crap.

I import thousands of dollars worth of load cells and digital weight indicators from China at a time and have for a number of years now and have been very impressed with their quality.
Sure you can get some rubbish stuff from overseas but you can get equally rubbish stuff here, and most likely pay a huge amount more!
