Yeah ive had to brake check a few and I have to turn the hi beams on occasionally to make some idiot turn his off. Sometimes I like to flip the big lights on and drive with them for fun when nobodys in front of me. I got a new bumper for christmas and it has lights in it so when I put it on ill run a switch instead of puttin em for reverse lights only and ill use them to get people off me.


See there's nothing wrong with that...I usually try and give the highbeaming morons the benifit of the doubt,I give them time to dim theirs before turning mine on. And I like turning on the highbeams on the rollbar when no ones around too,but I only do that when I'm around the house and on country roads.

Well at least ya do that I usually dont do it but mine aint as high.


Yeah you can usually tell when someones getting PO'd from me blinding them,so I just cut back to parking lights till we get going up the road....but I let them get on out in front of me before I cut the lights back on.

If you want to get people off your tail, is when your in a tanker truck with Hazmat placards all over it is to lock your tires up and get a little side ways..
Talk about cleaning lanes..

I know I used to like to mess with people by comming up to a stoplight behind someone and lock it down,when they hear the tires sliding and look up in their mirror.....the look on their face is priceless!!! I know I'm bad for doing that,but it's so dang fun!!!

That's whats to great about pulling a trailer, you can bust that trailer break and scare the hell out of people.
 
I think my lights are fine for what they are. They the stocks in a 1978 truck. They arent suppose to be as bright as a modern vehicle.

I was kinda liking the looks of those euros though.thats why i wanted some pics before i wasted any money though. .And a little bit brighter wouldnt do any harm
 
I had some in my truck befor I got the relays. They were brighter and I did like them but they burt out my switch. Now I have regular hallogens init with the relay harness, am thinking about putting those back in now to see how they work.
 
i 2nd the opinion of staying with either bosh or hella i have a set of uros bought from evil bay in my granada they look good mind you light up the road forever on high beam but low beam sucks light is far enough out but too narrow of a beam you cant see the sides of the road at all on the high way that is a bad thing considering the amount of deer up here good thing this is only a "nice day summer car" as far as putting in my trucks bosh or hella is what i run as i would just cry if i smoked a deer at 70 mph with 5 years worth of work and money tied up regurds joe

What I hate is the people who come up beside you on a 4 lane and want to run beside your trailer and not pass. I usually wag the tail a little . They usually pass pretty quick after that.

That and the people who sit so close behind ya that ya can only see the glare of the headlights. That happens to my dad alot so he usually scoots over to one side and sprays em with gravel.

HAHAHA...lowriders...I hear ya...and it doesn't really offend...I know there are extenuating circumstances sometimes, like in your case. But if it's a relatively stock truck, there's something wrong with your electrical system if you can't pump out enough juice. But hell...it ain't my truck, so to the OP and anyone else with euro lights...go for it, and I hope you like them...but don't be surprised if you get some closeups of my bumper...haha, or if I return the favor with my hi beams...or if I send you into an epileptic seizure with my strobes...haha.

wait, wait, wait, hold on just a second here....
You have strobes?
I like strobes!
Pics or Ban!
:D
