That was the guy who had the 100.00 conversion - I was going to get a pair for the street ride, need work to pick up before we get back to non essential speeding. 

He has a good rep on GD.  Don't think he would go as far as he has with em if they were crap.   He can likely get you hooked up for off road as well.    Goes by the name WheelieBar on GD.

I have 3 of the checker lights on my Dodge "Mexico truck" they are great...haven't had the 'good' ones so can't compare. I'm impressed with the RIGID Industries LEDs...they are the cats ass! I have the 6" on my Tecate, from the top of comp at buttercup I can light up the bottom! Great output and reasonable for the price comparison...Yoshi you have some, don't you? I'm trying to get a small dealership going with Taylor, the owner.

Fabr, I bought 2 of the CSK's about 2 months back and there some of the best quality I have seen, they were about 100 bucks each,even if they were 200 they would still be the best for the money....very nice units.

The Trail-Techs I run the full output is about 10 seconds. Usable light in about 3 seconds. The major downfall of HIDs IMO and one thing I hate about them. (there has to be quicker ones out there...) Cant beat the intensity with anything else though!
