Words can't describe how bright these 240's are at night.. :perfect10s: I have a set of Blue "combo" filters as well and a set of Clear "combo" filters on order.

They retail (depending on where you look) from as low as 599.00 each to 1100.00 each. (Something fishy about the site I saw them for 599.00 though.. I would say somewhere close to $750.00 a light is about right and then the filters are about 25.00 each.)
I was extremely lucky and offered a great deal. For all 4 lights, 4 blue combo filters, Hummer roof rack bar, wiring harness I paid $1,250.00 including shipping.
They were on a guys truck and it didn't fit in his parking garage, so he took them off.. These are brand new.. I guess I was at the right place at the right time.
Here are some pics from tonight with just the clear spot filters. Without a doubt, the brighest lights I have ever seen on a vehicle.

Just out of curiosity, does it still fit in the garage?

If I tilt them back a little, yes.. I need to adjust the stop on my garage door, then I wont even have to tilt them back.

Wow!!! You got a smoking deal! Good for you.:clapping:
Those HIDs are monsters. I had a set of the regulare 240's on my '97 Tahoe and they were great lights. One of the best things about them is how amazingly durable they are.

You get a little heat about 3 foot away from the lights... No glare at all.. the light starts at where the brush guard is... I used the Lightforce wire harness... 2.85 amps per light...

cool thanks for the info so you did not use the factory wiring; very nice where did you get the wires into the truck?

You can buy the harness from any lightforce dealer.. if you meant how did i run the harness, i ran it through the driver side corner marker lamp, through the roof, above the headliner and down the A pillar inside.
