Hello All. Today's review focuses on Clearwater's midsize model, the Erica. Watch to find out how they perform in the dark, and how they've held up to years of commuting abuse!

Nice graphic pictures,really see difference. Looks like a great product. Illumination problems are one of the reasons my wife and don't drive after sunset unless we have to. But for the cost over $800.00 I think I'll spend my money on beer to enjoy around a campfire. But when I win the lottery I'm there with the lights for sure.

Yeah, I hear you. When you take out the integration stuff (which really only works with CANbus BMWs) then they become "just lights" and that's an expensive set of "just lights!"

$800 for a pair of lamps is ridiculous in my book. If they are worth it to someone else, that's good for them.
Also, I am not attracted by dimming capability for auxiliary lamps. If I want to dim, I just flick them to off.
On the other hand, I have experimented with cheap lamps too and been disappointed with the light performance and durability of these.
My most satisfying selection has been the high-quality, isolation mounted Rigid D2 HD Driving lamps.
$329 a pair, shipped

I posted a lot about these a while back. They're still going strong and they really light up the world.

I'm not pushing these but simply noting them again in this current led lamp thread for anyone researching lamps.
I particularly like the vibration absorbing mounts of the HD (Heavy Duty) lamps as well as their phenomenal light output.
