Im not to impressed, they dont seem very bright in the video. just my 

[crazykooter]

Ya same here.  I am sure they would light up the rocks ok enough to see but not bright enough for my blind ars.
I just use 55W driving lights tho I am really pushing the limits of my poor 40amp 1st gen alt.  I am gonna swap to a 2nd gen 60amp soon.

The LED's are awesome, they don't pull hardly any power (amps), but the draw back on these particular light is that they are not very bright. Oh well..

I agree the LED lights are amazing and u can run 10 of them verse 4-5 halogens. The main reason I like halogens is the type of light they produce isnt white bright or I guess you could say they are softer.  Either or if I could get my hands on some good led's I would give them a shot since they are so small and easy to mount.

Im going to ask my buddy what LED's he runs when he gets back from vacation. I run halogens on my runner and they kinda suck a$$...

here is mine i have 8 total

[HDcruiser]

How many are on in your picture? And did you go with the soft white?

[GONZO97]

I think someone else has the visionx ones on here.... i think its tacosupreme but i could be wrong.... i was actually thinking of running those as well

[rockin86runner]

all 8 are on i went with the amber floods there just as bright as the whites but the amber are a little easier on the eyes

[HDcruiser]

Sweet, im diggin those alot. I'll probably order some up in the next couple of days. Thanks for the link for the website

[rockin86runner]

yep no problem  i mounted them in the body mount so they are still protected and still give out all the light

What was the total cost? Compared to the $119.00 tantrum system is your set more cost effective and how was installation?

it was 150 for the lights plus like 5 buck for a piece of flat stock to make the mounts for the plus 15 for wire that what my total was. installation was easy just bent some metal trying to find small ass screws was my only problem then just running the wire and waiting for night to fall so i can make sure they were in the right spots

good catch knee

[IronClad]

i went to it and it is indeed a site for LED's but i couldnt find the floods he was talking bout..  firefox + noscript is yer friend!

[kneedownnate]

Firefox let me down recently, but I don't know about the nonscript thing, and I don't generally trust fng's when their first post includes a link 

[SloCrawler]

 the kit at top does not look to bright, the have some at superbrightleds.com  the appear much brighter, i was looking at the ones that have 5 leds on a side mount brackets this is the route i was planning on going

[Yota Rolla]

the LEDs are kool and all because they suck next to no power but when i got lights i want to SEE!!

[John Doe]

Ok, so what exactly did you get?

I had chosen the Round eyes Led's last year. If I were to get led's again I'd go with the Oznium floods. The Round Eyes are great for there size , just not bright enough as rock lights.

[Yota Rolla]

i got tractor lights off a backhoe. . 8 of them on there rite now. .sure sucks the juice tho

[88_Pathy]

The VisionX system is cool.  I put it in my enclosed trailer for lighting.  3 was more than enough for tons of light inside.  I would say the are super bright for what they are but I have no idea what they would look like on a truck facing the rocks.  I personally have 8 55w driving lights for rock lights and hate them.  The lenses always get busted, they draw sooo much, I always have a bulb going out... and so on.  Water is the enemy I suppose.

I like it.  how bad is the power pull?  i need to upgrade mine.  need something that lights up better.

[kneedownnate]

It kinda sounds like tractor lights FTL unless you have a high output alt and 2 batteries.
