Now if you want to see deer a mile off and then have them go the other direction as you get closer I have a solution to that a well. However it's not exactly an inexpensive option but you can't argue the results



That intersection is a half mile away
That is impressive....

Ok lets read your solution, are we talking loaded fire arms in the grill or a large cruise liner horn?

This is what is making all that light. 3 KcHilites 70 watt hid pods. This was the setup on my ranger. Im working on getting a new setup for my f150 straightened out.

I swapped in the OEM HID headlights and they are indeed 100% better than halogens. However, compared to my G37 or my old 04 F150 with retrofitted Mini H1 projectors, the lighting is not as good.

I have been looking into swapping out the OEM projectors for FXR, Mini D2S or EVORX projectors

Do you see more deer than cars? Because some of these solutions are so bright, I'd say you're more likely to be hit by a blinded car driver than a deer.

My Ford HIDs are plenty bright for me. It's been almost a week since someone flashed me, thinking my brights were on.

Add extra lights if you need to see off-road, and make sure not to use them if other cars are around.

That would only happen if I was a moron. With great power comes great responsibility. now I will say those people who are lazy and don't turn off their high beams change their mind quickly when they met me going the other way.
