While Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) may be considered by some in the US as aesthetic, there was a lot of testing and data collected in Europe with regards to the safety benefits of DRLs. Even on a sunny day in summer, when you are driving with the sun in front of you, you are more likely to take notice of a car driving at you if that car has any kind of front-facing lights. DRLs were developed so that you wouldn't have to have your full headlights on. They are, of course, not a substitute for headlights. I enjoy pretty aesthetics as much as anyone else, but your vehicle won't be very pretty when you're wrecked on the side of the road because someone didn't see you, and it was enough to just have some lights on. So, I encourage the use of DRLs in appropriate situations. BTW, nice install. Those lights are impressive.
Great review. I am very happy with their products. I am currently running 3 of their lights on my Montero. I put together a video a few months ago of my review. The one thing I highly recommend is replacing the hardware. Unless they upgraded the hardware to Stainless steel...the included hardware will start to rust.
These would be off road only. I think they're way too bright and long range for fog and snow. These are focused for long distance, they'd just blind you in the snow. I have a set of their 4" motorcycle lights that switch from white to yellow, and they work great for driving lights that can switch to bad weather lights. www.led-colight.com/products/colight-4-inch-yellow-white-hi-low-beam-motorcycle-auxiliary-lights
@@NorthwestBronco you're welcome. If you watch this video it shows the install of most of my lights, and at the end I show the pattern of all the lights in my driveway, and out on the road. It's long, but if you skip to about 27 minutes you can see the motorcycle lights at night in the white and the yellow... th-cam.com/video/Q0hD3WXLdpU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=__yYD0O3Hhkc3_kZ
So get some. Use that code, they're like 150 bucks. But they don't come with connectors. You can buy the 2 pin deutsch connectors on Amazon, or get a while harness from colight for like 20 bucks.
@@jonojeep4x412 were they on sale? When I made the video they were like 20 bucks off, plus my discount after. Either way, I hope you like em. I sure do...
Ya, another friend of mine noted the same. With my discount code he was at about 190 bucks. Still a good deal in my opinion, I'm still very happy with the lights. They're bright as hell. But, less of a good deal. Maybe they'll go on sale again soon....
Can't wait. Mine will be here Friday!
Sweet! Get ready to see all the things 1/4 mile away from you... 😁

I didn't REALLY inspect the hardware, but it appeared to be stainless to me. I'll keep an eye on it for sure though. 👍
@@EverymanOverland 😎👍...yeah just keep an eye on the hardware .I am looking to add a couple of their lights to my Montero next year.
@@itsaboutfam as you say, I have a few of their lights, and im very happy with all of them.
Can you drive on the road with these? Fog and or snow conditions? Or are they off road only.

I need a set of these for the Jeep. My KC spots suck.

@@EverymanOverland I got them
More than $150 even with your discount.
Still a great price.
Thanks for making the vid.

Nice lights, looks like theyve increased the price to 220$ per set before any discounts.

Thanks for the review. Did these come with an inline fuse?
@@caseyhubble1118 yes the factory harness has an inline fuse. I didn't use that harness as I have a switch panel.
Thanks for the info!
