Not bad. I am assuming that is 20lbs for both lights? If it is 20 per light I just might buy some depo lights tonight!

That's for both sides. If you're really serious, I know someone that wants to go back to stock lights and has the better specter werkes one that he would be willing to deal on.

Probably not going to be pulling the trigger right now but definitly in the future. I was thinking of going with the Depo lights because of price. From what I understand the Specter Werkes are a bit pricey.

Thanks for the info
