I use the factory fogs all the time. The windshield lights have been used while leading a few night runs, but now that I have the ones on the top of the bumper, I rarely use the ones on the windshield anymore. I think it's one of those things that it's better to have and not need than need and not have. I've yet to use all 510 watts at the same time.

Ya need to try it out when some one hits you with bright lights....They would just have burned out eye sockets when you got finished!

I've used them a number of times this year durring the fall when going out to my grandfathers place. Got to keep the side of the roads lit to see the elk.

Plus I've used them a couple times on some night time fun.

I use the bumper lights now and then but I haven't used the windshield mounted lights but once. 6 lights do make a statement when someone is blinding you with their high beams. I don't use any in town and can't figure out why anyone else does other than to blind people. Especially on the freeway going to work in rush hour. What idiot can't see the car 20 feet in front of them on a clear day. geez! Next guy behind me is going to buy me a new vehicle when my brakes accidentally lock up. Last turd stopped in time.

I use the fogs all the time here. I use the Rally lights for night wheeling and the caps are off all the time.

i use mine all the time on town roads, never on the highway though. I prefer them over my high beams. I use them for night wheeling all the time and just added 2 more to give me even more light for those night wheeling trips. I never have more than one set on while on the road though, and whenever a car is approaching i turn them off.
