I really like the wide filters. I have four 170 HID's on the truck - center two with the clear, outside two canted out about 15 degs with the wide filter. They throw a nice flat, almost fog light type beam. I also have two of the combo filters, and they do a good job spreading the beam some, yet still throw a pretty fair pencil beam as well. When we head into areas with lots of Elk and Deer, I put them on the center two lights to add to the side lighting.

The link above should give you some idea on what they do.

I got a pair of 140s mounted on my front bumper. I got a set of the clears they came with, yellows and diffuser filters. The diffusers are on 99% of the time. Plus I am also running Silverstars in the headlamps. The diffusers do a great job on filling in when I run the highbeams.
I still lust after getting a pair of 240s though. :drool:

Don't waste your money on the blue filters. I can't say anything for the light crystal blue but the darker blue are absolutely terrible. They cut down the light output to much in normal driving conditions and in the rain they light up the rain drops falling directly in front of the truck like a bright blue wall. I thought they looked good when I bought them but now I take them off every time I know i'll be using my lights

Combo here...
I have the 'combo' set in both clear and amber colors. I usually use the ambers, they have been bulletproof the entire time that I have had them.

As tough as they are, one of mine was no match for the dealer's car wash...
Ripped it off the light, bent the legs flat, but it didn't break. Neither did the light, and it didn't loose it's aim either. I tried to bend the legs back, but once bent, they wanted to stay that way. Ended up using a propane torch on low, heating the plastic till it just wanted to move, and got it close enough to fit. It will work for a spare, but it also got scuffed up pretty badly. Tried to repair it with head light lens polish, but the scratches are to deep.

You can use the torch to get the scratches out too. It's called flame polishing; heat the plastic until it just starts to flow; it'll fill and smooth out the scratches. You can find information on it on the web; even have some vedios on youtube.

I love the yellow combo filters on my 240's. They throw a long ways and produce a wide flat beam as well. The yellow is much easier on the eyes than white.
