I didn't know where to post this so if it gets moved, just tell me where it went. Now on to the subject at hand. Does anyone have any experience with these "rock lights?" http://www.visionxusa.com/LED-Tantrum/c1_24/p108/LED_STROBE_AND_ROCK_LIGHT_KIT_SUPERWHITE/product_info.html

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

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.. $Beer Chug\'n$

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$$...

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

GONZO97 · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 28, 2010, 03:10:12 PM »

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 · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 28, 2010, 03:13:57 PM »

HDcruiser · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 28, 2010, 03:36:12 PM »

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

rockin86runner · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 28, 2010, 03:41:51 PM »

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

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 · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 21, 2010, 12:47:51 PM »

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

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 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 21, 2010, 02:35:22 PM »

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

John Doe · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 21, 2010, 03:08:25 PM »

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 · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 21, 2010, 03:55:35 PM »

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

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.

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