Thinking of asking for some aux driving lights for Christmas. Deciding between Hella 500's and KC daylighters. Is there such a difference in light output that it justifies the extra cost of the KC's? Also has anybody had any experience with hella 500ff's?

its also time for some new tires. I'm staying at 31's with no lift and my 4runner only has 2wd. I need a well rounded tire as the majority of driving is done on the highway but i do go on many dirt roads with large rocks that i fear will go through my current tires. right now i am looking at the following:

Nitto Terra Grapplers

Yokohama Geolanders

Dunlop Radial Rovers

Anybody have anything to say about any of these tires?

I love my KC slimlites, they look 1st class and they have a 23 year warranty that covers the bulb! Worth the cost in my opinion!

As for tires, I've heard great things of the Nitto's. I personally can't confirm or deny since I have the Revos but what I've seen and heard through this and other websites, I'd say they're pretty ok. I personally love my Revos though, they do great in all kinds conditions and have yet to let me down. They are expensive though, when these wear out I might look more closely at Nittos.

also looking at these, dunlop mud terrains for only 140 shipped to sams

i also like the idea of getting them done at sams because they will balance and rotate them and repair them for the life of the tire and replace them if you opt for some kind of insurance.

well the KC's have 100w bulbs in them while the500s only have 55w bulbs. i cant be sure with where you live but in washington aux driving lights greater than 55w are illegal for on road use.

got sliverstar bulbs for the headlights and 100watt xexon white bulbs for the hella's i think im gonna go with the new hella 700ff i like bigger lights

Sam's does do this but so do a lot of other tire places, shop around...

Yeah, 100w is definitely illegal on road over here in Indiana too but eh...I have them wired to come on with my high beams. You just have to make sure to get them turned off with oncoming traffic shows up. I also have 55w lights coming out the rear end too, so I'm covered at all angles if someone is being a deuche tailgating me or forgets to turn off their brights...
