Hello,I'll do my best to keep it short. Im going to buy a light bar that mounts on my front tow hooks of my 05 2500 HD made by Randy Ellis design.com (((clean)))) not to much on the cheesy aftermarket look .It comes with "KC SLIMLIGHTS" 6' with a choice of Long range(130 watts) or driving (100 watts) IM not sure what to get a combo 2 and 2 or all of the brightest ones. The lights will be used at night for traveling thru the states at night,or anywhere else theres no traffic on family trips towing toyhauler(I know not legal:D :exactly: ) otherwise will be used on finding my way thru california desert to our camping spot 5-20 miles ....anyways Id like anyones input thought on the differerent light types Long range vs Driving ...I know there is better lights out there ....but this is all the budget allows...thanks for your time Dave

I'd go with the ones that throw the most light. If it ain't legal anyway you might as well have the most light you can get. More light won't make it more illegal.

I don't know much about lights:help2: either, but I figured the more watts the better? anyone else have any thoughts?

go with two and two. That way you are getting long range and close up at the same time. That amount of light you will get that way will be very usable and should be able to see anything that moves both close and far away from the truck.

2 of each. Long range are thinner "pencil" type beams while the driving lights will give a wider beam for what's on the sides. Doing a set of each gives you the best of both worlds. 4 long range ones together will not look twice as bright unless you aim them in 4 different directions.

Thanks guys that sounds like the best option,looking forward to lighting up the road:bling: Thanks again Dave

:exactly: ITS NICE TO SEE WHAT IS WAY DOWN THE ROAD...BUT JUST AS GOOD TO SEE WHAT IS WITHIN YOUR STOPPING DISTANCE..ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD..

Dave, consider the "all on" headlight mod. You cant get much better lighting than that. Then, go with a set of the brightest you can find. I usually swap out the stock 55 watt bulbs to 100 watters in any driving light that I use.

Yeah Wht He Said...i Have A Set Of Hella Black Magic Lights On The Front Of My Truck...swaped Out The 55w Bulbs For 110 Watt Hella Bulbs....what A Difference

I just put Sylvania Silverstar bulbs in my HD. I used the conversion kit to even put the high bulbs into my low bulbs, so now I am running all 4 as high beams! Very Bright! plus the all on mod. yea, it make a HUGE differance.
I also have 2 KC Daylighters on the front! there isn't a thing I can see for miles!

So you're the guy blinding the rest of us at night!):h :lol: ):h
