They're bulb replacements for 9007 Halogens. I'll get a pic tonight when Discount tire isn't rotating my tires.

----------

They have more low beam spread, High beams suck but I have the Hella 500FFs for highs

Welp, got into an accident... front right fender has a dent from the brush guard. Brush guard is a little scratched. Bumper is hanging a bit lower. I will fix when I also get my Bushings, Bearings, Ball Joints, and Brakes done next year. Might as well order some hood light tabs!

Tagged a Honda Accord. As he turned, he slammed on the brakes for no reason. I tagged his driver side rear corner and cop asked me why I didn't stop in time. I told him, 3800 lbs vs 4600 lbs Ranger. No way can I stop faster than him. Since it was on a driveway, it's considered a parking lot accident... no ticket and got $1,800 for it.

----------

Also, within next 1-2 years, planning on getting a brand new Tacoma with 4 Cyl, 5 Spd, 4x4, Access Cab. Keeping Ranger and making it into a Project™ Truck!

It's more than weight that determines stopping distance.
