This is just the right headlight only. Currently have replaced my 7" round headlights for some euro spec H4 headlights. 55w/100w bulbs are nice.


Before this I had a S10 ZR2 with some PIAA SMR lights. They had a nice wide beam pattern for seeing deer hiding in the ditches.

Before that I had some KC Daylighters. 120W, but they were a spot beam/pencil beam. Not very useful.

Damn, a fifth wheel trailer on a S10, there is something you don't see every day.

I mounted a set of driving lights under the hood of my old truck. They worked and looked great. Useful for road repairs and showing off the power plant:

77 k20 is right. the off road pencil/spot beams or pretty worthless. sure they can project a beam out a couple of miles but when do you need that. you would have to be traveling pretty damn fast for those lights to come in play. I prefer floods, much more useful. adjust them to the sides a little to light up the sides of the road. of course all this applies to driving off road. highdesertranger

My uncle jammed some farm lights in behind the grill of the truck i got from him.. Not sure how useful they were as i cut and pulled all the wiring to them ( typical farmer wire job).. I will be putting something up on the grill guard i have for the truck..

That 5th wheel was really cool. It was made for S-10's, Dakotas... things like that. Only 7' wide and 18' long. Weighed in at something like 3,200 lbs. The
ZR2 had 4.10 gears and pulled it with no problem.

What do people have for lights mounted in/ontop/around the grill area?

I wired my head lights up so that the highs, lows, running, and fog all run at the same time. I have a switch panel that allows you to add more and more and more light when needed.

Where are your fog lights?
