    Are you using the 2 or 4 bulb fixture? How long do the bulbs last? What color combination are you using? How many kelvins are your white bulbs, if you have any?

    sticksmith23, do they look pretty good? Are the bulbs going to last? Are they pretty powerful?

    They aren't top of the line or anything, but there are some of us on here that use these lights. I've had mine since November, and I am still using the stock bulbs. I will upgrade to ATI bulbs when the time comes. There is just one refletor for all 4 lights, so you aren't going to get the best lighting out of this, but is does look nice and should get the job done.
