ProComps suck....nothing personal against anyone who has them, but they are worthless on and off road. Might as well be Mastercraft Courser MT's....

Just BAD.

I beg to differ, I've only been stuck once in them......in mud holes that other bigger jeeps have gotten stuck in, I've been able to push on through. And every time I got hung up going forward I've always been able to back out except once.

Went with the 520 Ion Crystal Fogs. Don't have them installed yet but they should do the trick.

Back in the mid 90's when the amber fogs were very popular I had a set of PIAA's on my GTI. Had them for a about a year then someone stole them. Just trying to avoid that situation again.

Been thinking about security a lot lately and whats bs is adding up how much it costs to lock all the stuff down. I feel that these companies are already charging a premium help your customers out and throw some locks in.

******s have to ruin everything.

i remember on my white XJ before i got the Goodyear radials I had bald tires and just going around any turn in any amount of rain i would slide. tried following my friend in his police cruiser once and he just would not slow down on the roundabouts and I had no idea where we were going so i just slid a whole bunch.

then i got new tires last year for the snow...no snow....= (

You're right. They suck.

if you wanted to, you could use a set of keyed lug nuts and wheel studs to attach them if you have enough room with your light tabs. My father has a pair of the 520 ion driving lights on his Tahoe and they are great all around lights. I have the 520 ATP Ultra Whites and they are not as wide as the driving lenses but have almost twice the distance and are ridiculously bright.

Love them. I have two I use every year.

Do not use the ones that take lighter fluid. Very bad
