130 Watt KC HiLites Daylighter

I've ran these on my old blazer and they were amazing! Now I run them on top of my surco safari rack. The name pretty much says it all "daylighter". I would recommend making sure your alternator and battery can power these since they draw a good bit of amps (I'm not sure how much amps though).

watts = amps x volts, so 130 = amps x 12 volts... so you've got about 11 amps.

That's 130W for each light, so remember to double that for two (so 260W and a little less than 22A).

HIDs will put out just as much light if not more for a fraction of the draw.

If your talking about HID Headlights then yes, but they are way to expensive to replace.
Plus im looking to put the lightbar in and ive heard nothing but good things about the KC Daylighters
