Its not our back roads its our main highway. I do about 80-90kmh in the night. But there are many many moose on our roads. Its not uncommon to see 10 or more during a 2.5hr drive. Hence needing proper light, not just the newest.

 

Guess I'll consider myself lucky then. I dont have a problem with stationary objects on the roadway even with the OE low beams @ 120KmPH. And , where I live, using off-road lights on public roads could cost you more money than a collision.

 

Way of life here. They can pop out of the woods quickly so the further you can see the better

 

I am thinking about getting the KC 70w HID pods - they're expensive but to me they may just be worth it.

I currently have some no name LED lights on windshield mounts that were advertised as 6000 lumens each. While they are bright, I dont think they throw light a great distance. When I used my stock high beams it appears that they reach further out (albeit dim).

So I'm thinking LED just isnt there compared to HID.

Anyway, there is one site that I got some decent info about the retrofit HID kits for certain lamps (HELLA 4000, Lightforce)
HID-Lightsdownunder - HID - Lightsdownunder

 

I'm using the 55w hid in my hella 500driving beam. They light up WAY further than the stock high beam. To the tune of 1200m. Insane light.
