if you want any kind of larger light, most of the time they'll vibrate to the point of distraction. vision x might be an exception. if you want to go to a smaller light like what i decided doing, then look into the baja design 4 inch fuego. they come in spot,driving and cornering configurations. they have both hid and conventional designs that are upgradable to hid. i use 12 fuego hid lights on my racetruck utilizing all three of the light configurations and there are no "hot spots" or radical light cut off points where you go from lit areas to total darkness. it's important because after a awhile, you can get headaches and you could start seeing things that are'nt there. these little 4 inch fuegos turn the night into day. best of luck with your selection. happy trails.

lightforce are great. jason mcneil uses these on his fiberwerx trophy truck and likes them alot. [course they sponsor him but that's beside the point]. i think people have a tendency to really like what they spent a fortune on whether they're worth a s--t or not. ha ha.

i disagree 100% with that statement. there is no such thing as too much light off road. i do agree with having good back up lights. i use 2 12 volt work lights from truckntow that are awesome. but you can't have enough light out there at night. more important is how you set up the lights to eliminate cut off and hotspots in my opinion.

as far as back up lights go, you don't want to go with a real high dollar hella or any other real high end light because it's un-necessary and you'll end up blinding your buddies behind you or the public in general leaving the store. a good spread beam work light on each side compliment your existing lights well enough. but as far as driving lights go, the more the better. happy trails.

The range of the pencil beam is around 735 meters. The Euro beam is 500. The width of the Pencil is about 30 meters. The Euro width is 40. So the euro will IMHO be enough. At 60 mph using the look ahead 2 seconds rule you should be looking 176 feet ahead of your vehicle. You have plenty of coverage with 500 meters. That is over 1/3 of a mile. While the pencil beam will allow you to look into the next county it is not necessary.
