Never mind, found out that the Hella 55/100w are 2900 lumens. Plus with headlight harness probably 3200.

Stock h4 bulbs throw about 900-1350 lumens depending on the style and quality of bulbs. Whether it be sylvania, osram or Philips etc, most low beams don't go higher than 1350.

Lumen output shouldn't be confused with kelvin, or color, of the bulb. LEDs are great for short distance light but for long distance, halogen or HID is still the way to go.

I've got 2 KC daylighters 130watt to cover distance but I need something to cover sides. I'm looking at getting a combo spot/flood LED light

10"-20" LED light bar covers that. And as for bulbs go for osram 72-65w bulbs.

Does anyone hear something that sounds like a slight knock coming from their dash at idle? I've noticed mine recently and I got in a buddies jeep and his does the same thing. Not sure if this is normal...

I saw on eBay that a 34" puts put 13500 lumens. 34" is way to big for the bumper. I'm looking at a 7.5"-16" for the bumper.

Maybe plastic on plastic? But I also hear it under accelration. Which could just be my exhaust. But hard telling until I get my muffler mounted

exhaust leak maybe?

other than that it may just be a rattle in the dash of some kind.

Ah exhaust leak... Can that cause a knock like noise when accelerating and at idle? I know it can cause a tick but maybe a knock like noise too? I have no idea
