During my road trip last week from Denver to Wisconsin I (re-)learned that my driving lights on an '04 Yukon are basically worthless. ;)

What are some good options for throwing some real light forward on dark two-lane roads at night away from the city lights?

Thanks!

I don't know if there is any real answer to that question. LOL!

I've been trying to figure that out myself. Right now I have 6000K HID fogs. I like them a lot, but I think I need some Boeing 747 landing lights before I'll be totally happy.

This is what I've got now:

I have been thinking about the same thing. I need to buy one or two. The one i have sucks. Sounds like maybe there not to bright to start with.
Maybe because we are all confusing fog lights with driving lights?

If you want the best light ouput, best cutoff line, widest pattern range.
then you want these are BYFAR the best Driving lights I have ever owned. They are installed on all my vehicals, my parents vehicals and 2 of my friends have spread them to all their relatives vehicals aswell, Including his fleet of 18wheelers.
You can get them in any of the major bulb types by tellin the vendor in descrition during your order.

They are metal body with Thick glass lenses and stainless lock ring.
Combine them with 4500k 55watt HID's and they light up the world.
Use a relay harness with the 55's
If you try out some 75's post pics
We adjust them so that at 50 yards the cutoff line is knee high. this keeps them from blinding oncoming traffic.

You could do what i did and replace your fogs with LED's from Rigid Industry... The light out is insane.

That's quite a few options. Thanks guys.

Now to figure out if any of them are relatively RF-quiet (radio) since I do HF and other weak-signal radio operations from the truck.

Most HID ballasts are awful for RF noise. :(

I've never had interference issues until I got DDM Raptor 55w ballasts. Now I can't run my fog lights and listen to AM radio at the same time.
