X2 I love my LightForce 170's.

But with that said, Their a so many aftermarket lights out there and each has it's own pro's and con's.

Good luck...........

I've ran KC's for over 20 years and have 0 complaints with them. I currently have 2 kc 8" rally lights, 2 kc 6" slimlites, and 2 kc 6" Apollo series lights. Best lights for the money imo....

Lightforce products lead to some problems if you've got a CDL or encounter DOT checkpoints at any time; they're not DOT or ECE certified. They're very durable but are, ummm, intentionally odd. Their claims for their filters are also misleading and often outright lies.
See this thread.

Again, I personally like "Lightfarce" lights. I've seen them shot by a 20-gauge shotgun and light right up. They are what they are; expensive, durable, dubious.

I use cheap easy-to-replace HIDx lights. Also not the most reputable of lighting, I might add, but over 3000 real lumens each and only $109 delivered.

I was warning for professional drivers; in some jurisdictions you can't even have them mounted at all if the truck sees road.
