Those were some instantaneous replies there!
@ Chris: Absolutely! Most worry-free transaction I've ever had...cept for that bit when USPS decided to take the second package with all the important stuff on a more scenic route You've done an incredible amount of work to those lights; I saw your conversion thread and decided that I don't any anywhere near the amount of skill to do it, so I figured I'd be better picking up a ready-made pair. I guess Dick has a bit of time on his hands for this mod!
I currently run Hella 550 fogs, which do OK for side to side vision ( better then the stock beams) , which I agree is really important. The critters don't usually appear smack dab in the middle of the road, they're usually off to the side contemplating life or the end of such as they know it...so it's good to see them and slow down before they make their choice. One can never have enough light, except, ah, was it you that had the thread where the local law decided to drive halfway across town to see who was lighting up the river?!
You mentioned the (yellow) combo filters; are you still using those? I think I'll be picking up another set of the same ones.
@ Oly:
What K are the bulbs that came with the kit rated at? Just curious! Also, in order to avoid your experience, I'm either going to use some electrical tape or silicone to better seal up the battery connection.
I think I'll be sticking with whatever the stock conversion comes with; at this point I have to decide whether I want the 240s or the 170s more then anything, the price difference between them is relatively small, more of an issue on whether they'll fit on my front bumper or not! (I have holes drilled) I'm sure both lights will be fine for the task, though - I realize they're illegal on public roads, but it's so flipping dark at night, and I'd turn them (and my high beams, although with these, I probably won't need highs anymore) off whenever I see another vehicle approaching from the other side.
I second the notion that Dick is a great guy, I've actually dealt with him in the past (customer-service wise) and he was prompt and very helpful.
They're pricey but I think the lights are a good investment, and being lightforce brand, they'll probably last forever.
