I bought the harness off amazon, and the sylvania xtravisions from autozone, WOW! what an insane difference! $65ish into the setup.

Truck-lite LED headlights, thoughts, comments, concerns?? These are going to be a purchase in the near future. The price is just hard to swallow.

Mine have saved me from suicidal wildlife that I wouldn't have seen until it was too late. Considering everything on the front of my jeep plus possibly a radiator would cost more than $417 to replace, the truck-lites are worth it.

Plus they look cool

I just bought my trucklites yesterday. I get them on Wednesday! $480 is expensive, but living in the PNW, it is dark and rainy a lot. It is worth it for the safety of my son and wife. If anyone wants, I will have my IPF'S and fat bob lights available after Wednesday. Looking for around $80, can be flexible though.

That was buying two individually right? The pair seems to be $495.

I'm so tempted to buy these.. They look amazing. I'm just so worried of breaking a light on the trails..

Yes. I've hit mine on trees and they aren't scratched. I heard about someone with them in a semi hitting a deer at 65. destroyed the radiator and hood but the lights were fine
