Default Wicked Lighting

I bought these about a month ago and finally got around to installing them. OMG, what a difference!! I had 2 100W (incandescent rated) or 22W CFL rated bulbs which was as powerful as I could buy..so I thought. My friend turned me on to these. They're big (12 in long) and very powerful (150W CFL, 400W equivalent) and a very high colour temp (6500) which makes it seem like high noon...no kidding, it hurts your eyes to look at them. I can't believe the difference in lighting.

Where to buy:

Sneek..the shipping's very reasonable..for U.S. destinations, it's $7.00, for Canada, it's $10... And that was with 5 bulbs in the order, which is cool, you can team up and order from them..that's what I did. I even had it shipped USPS/CANADA POST which took 2.5 weeks and cost $27. in taxes upon delivery..for about $120 in product.

Nice lights there richy...man only two and look how bright it looks.

I too will be upgrading my lights in my garage, the T8's just aren't cutting it anymore, need a brighter lights. I got the lights just waiting for the fixtures to arrive, I'm going to have to replace the current fixtures as they can't handle the lights I received...stay tuned for it.

I think you need two more hahahaha so you can whear shades while polishing hahahahaha

Thanks for sharing buddy, by the way nice rims and a very clasy vehicles although I can't really make out the second SUV, what is it? Lexus? Head lights give me the impresion of Lexus.

Oh by the way the floor, did you use the EPOXY on it by any chance. I purchased the kits of EPOXY to do my floor in the garage but I'm thinking I'm just gong to tile it instead (those inter locking tiles that is), haven't made up my mind just yet, I've also seen a liner at Costco that you lay on the floor.

hmmm, it doesn't look like a lexus. I think the RX's have flat roofs with the side rails. I want to say it is a Pacifica, but I dont think it is. I give up..what is it? By the look of the head lamp it is a slightly higher end SUV.
