Oh yeah, you never saw them...... Wanna laugh even Harder??.... when I bought my H2... that's a similar rim that was on them!!!! LMAOL.... it was a drug dealer that owned it prior (Which is why the high km's.... back and fourth from BC...) and he have 26" TiS rims...



Bloody shame... the guy spent almost $8K U.S. and all I could get on kijiji was $1500.00..... I actually saw them for sale on an H2 in Edmonton as I doubt there is another set of those rims out there... very specific!

I kind of like the KC's now that they are on, square boxy look goes with the truck.



How does $300 for the new Roo's sound?

Sounds good.... I'm just wondering though if I should go with HID's though so I don't have the power drain....

I remember those Roo Lites from this summer and they were definitely killer lights! Couldn't go wrong either way really... Now that my HID headlights have all the bugs worked out I'm really pleased with them so I'd say HID is a good choice. HID is a little more to replace if something goes wrong though... with the ballasts plus more expensive bulbs so something to consider when taking them off road! Since we all know it's usually a matter of when and not if...

They are only 100 watts, should be too hard on your battery.



One nice thing about the roo-lites are also completely sealed and pretty much indestructible aside from leaving them on with the covers over top, you can dump them in your bathtub for an hour and they will be fine.

OH for F-cks sake... they ordered me tiny little baby 6" versions of my lights (mine are 7.5") with standard halogen bulbs, basically the cheapest version with the cheapest option.



I was about to seriously start getting really pissed off, but I looked up at my rep & receptionist with big goofy grins on thier faces because they had thought they had really gone above and beyond to make it right and I just bit my tongue instead and thought to myself "This is why I bought a Honda.... this is why I will never, ever buy another GM".

These lights are small enough to fit on my CRV.... hmmmmm...

retail is 95$ each or the pair?



They came individually packaged, no wiring kit. I do have the KC wiring kit which looks pretty complete... there is a full harness for everything, even the relay.



The base, bulb mount & wiring coming out of them is identical to my old ones... looks like I could throw the xenophot bulbs in no problem.
