They aren't the brightest 55 watt bulbs out there because they use H3 bulbs, they just don't put out that much. But these lights put out plenty to flood the area behind the car. So don't have any doubts on that. And yes the output is a flood light. I added pictures above to the product to help show that they are. The kit comes with a wire harness, 2 lights, and 4 big zipties. They zipties are definitely big and I didn't have issue using them to attach to my hitch. I'm running these lights off a relay. One not they do have a little drain on the bottom but even with it facing backwards, I haven't had any moisture problems in the past 3/4 year.
