Those lights are fantastic. I have a set on my '97 Tahoe and they are great lights.
They're adjustable like a Mag-Light and are tougher than any other light on the market. I seem to remember the specs saying they'll withstand a blast from a 12 gauge w/ buckshot at 25yds & a .22 at 125yds w/o breaking. I can personally tell you that I've seen rocks get thrown up by other vehicles and have heard them bounce off those lights without leaving a mark.
I'm going to buy a set of the new HIDs that they make and build a brushguard around them. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I plan on looking at 2 or 4 (if I can mount 4) of the HID lights. You really can't beat'em. 1.5M candlepower each with each light only drawing 3 amps. Not to mention the lightforce guys put a crapload of thought into their lights.

My thoughts were to take 2 lights and have them set up normally with a pencil beam and then (a kit is provided to change the type of beam) on the other two have the beam changed to more of a flood system.

But Drty, come on. Buckshot at 25 yards? It can only withstand birdshot at 25 yards.
