if any one wants to beef up thier lights to 55w or 100w, you can get the bulbs @autozone for $6 each, i put 55's in mine, and what a difference, the original were 35w, i think i'll get the 100w for the back up lights
just thought i'd throw that out there

^ awesome, thanks for the tip. Would this require a fuse resize for any reason?

Good point. I'm still not really sure how I want to use them. I have them on the front of the truck now, but I think they would make better rock lights than driving lights. In which case the 35's would probably be fine. How are you using yours?

2 up front as driving lights, with my lift i had a huge dark void in front of the truck. now its lights from nose to 1/2 mile (driving, -> low beams, -> KCs) and then 4 will be rock lights once i find a way to attach them to the frame.

I bet some JB weld would hold those little bastards on there just fine. I don't really feel like drilling through the frame.

Have you tried 'em out yet? If so, how much of a difference did the 100s make?

any H3 bulb, the H3 has the white(hot) wire already soldered in.

the package reads

H3 55watt(100watt) all H3 bulbs are the same, no matter how much or how little you pay for them.
