This is the long range. Same wattage but higher candle power

Yes. The spotlights throw light way down range, but the driving lights will do that AND spread the beam lighting up a wide path. Only used my spots for effect haha and that's because I bumped up the wire gauge for the spots. With a big alternator and the thin wires supplied by KC, my driving lights were way brighter. Seriously.

I think the candlepower rating is higher only because the light is more focused at whatever point they're measuring.

If you order from Amazon they'll take them back of you don't like them. But I think you will.

Used to have them on my wrangler. I liked handing out in the back of the pack on trail runs and turning them on to light up the tough stuff. They would drown out everyone's LED bars. Let me know how it goes!

But LED bars look sooooo cool!

I had some nice Hellas on my Jeep that lit the world up but became a slave to fashion and went LED bar on my truck. It's not for off-road anyway, use it on dark roads as when I take road trips I like traveling at night.

I've wanted to do the 4 KC's for a while, just never bit the bullet and bought them. But I also like HID's over LED's. So when I saw a set on ebay going for low cost due to a broken bulb I had to jump on them.

I got this set, basically brand new in the box as a return due to broken bulb relatively cheap.

Should be hear tomorrow, hopefully i can get them installed also.

I take taht back, these weren't the broken bulb ones, these were just an open box return to the seller. Still a huggggeeeeeeeeeeee deal on them compared to even basic retail price.

I ended up buying a new set of #634's off Ebay. $129 shipped. Should be here Saturday according to Fedex tracking. Also bought 5.5" round precut clear film for the glass. I drive a lot of highway miles and I don't want the lenses all dinged up.

Mine took a good direct hit and it only made a hole in the lens. Didn't shatter or anything. But good call.
