Got my Lightforce 240 HID's installed.
Words can't describe how bright these 240's are at night..  I have a set of Blue "combo" filters as well and a set of Clear "combo" filters on order.
Will post some pics of them at night tonight...

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.

Re: Got my Lightforce 240 HID's installed.
Just out of curiosity, does it still fit in the garage?

Re: Got my Lightforce 240 HID's installed.
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.

Re: Got my Lightforce 240 HID's installed.
Wow!!! You got a smoking deal! Good for you. 
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. |

Those are awesome looking lights. Next time somebody comes at you and forgets to dim their brights, light 'em up!

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...

Re: Got my Lightforce 240 HID's installed.
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.
