Default Another Truck Lite question

I have a 2012 SG. For the past few years, I've been using a Truck-Lite headlight. Its a great light (especially when focused properly). For those who have/had the Truck-Lite and upgraded, which LED light did you go with and what are your thoughts? I'm just looking for something a bit brighter with a wider, defined scope.

Thanks gang,

The addition of auxiliary lights will help far more than just replacing the TrukLite with something else.

Had a Truck-Lite, went to a Vision X. Much better. Not looking for anything else.

I added TL passing lamps to my SG. I ditched the fog lamps in this picture.

My TL doesn't have the ring around it. Is that an add on or a different TL?

That's a lighted trim ring.

I have been running my truck-lites for 6 years now. I also run them in my auxiliary lights and also angle them to the sides of the road. They are about all you need, they light everything up super bright.
