So, a long time ago, I posted a picture of my Baja Designs light output. Most of the lights on my rig run at 5000 kelvin. I just wanted to show a quick demo I did of the lighting set up for my truck.
Honestly, this has been an important factor on many of the trips we've taken. Driving in the far out areas of Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Utah and other animal and poor weather laden states, this is something that really becomes useful. Typical headlights are less effective at greater speeds. Honestly, you actually reach the safe visual limit of your standard headlights projection at approximately 55mph (give or take for vehicle models). Driving in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, and other great adventuring states with a speed limit set at about 70-80mph, you are not going to have the reaction time you might need when you find yourself coming down on a pronghorn, deer, elk or ram...squirrel etc.

I DO NOT run the XL80s or OnX6 with oncoming traffic less than half a mile out...they are blinding. Like really. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I have had a Prius or two think my standard lights were on bright...and I may have demonstrated my "bright" setting after they put on and held on their brights.
