88pathoffroad Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 "Best"?? Look at price tags for what's generally considered to be the best. I prefer PIAAs. Pro-Comps, Hellas, KC's and Lightforce are all great lights as well. Pick what you like and can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paffphinder1989 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) I have got 2 pair of Hella 500's on my truck, cost me $60 a pair, they work excellent, although I never had any other brand. hhttp://npora.ipbhost.com//style_images/1/folder_attach_images/attach_add.png http://npora.ipbhost.com//style_images/1/f...tach_add.pngave Edited February 14, 2008 by Paffphinder1989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathmaker1 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) i go with el cheepo lights so that way im not mad when they get cracked from road debris....i think i paid $40 for both of these at your local auto parts store. they are 100W 6" i made a bracket and used the round head bolts on the bumper to mout them with. NOT THE BOLTS HOLDING THE BUMPER TO THE FRAME!!! there are 2 extra bolts on either side of the liscence plate that i used. it looked good too. kept the lights about even with the bumper so it didnt block the headlight spread or the radiator i now have 4 of em set up on my brush guard like this: goin to a manual tranny in a few weeks so im not too worried about the little bit of radiator i blocked. also i will probably remount the top 2 lights after i put my winch on in a few weeks. like i said i go for the $20/each lights from where ever. you can pick up a cheap relay if you dont already have one from the factory optional fog lights. i dont think my truck came with fog lights from the factory but the switch was already in my truck as were the wires and the relay. i have them straight wired through a switch to my battery for now but im gonna steal the factory relay and use that soon. just got em on for now cause i have lots more wiring/lighting to do including 2 100W "low pro" lights in rear that will come on when i engage reverse as well as an "optional" on setting thru a 3 way toggle. these lights did not come with wires or relays but i have loads of wire just lying around. i make my own wiring harnesses. if your not keen to do that you may want to go with a set that will include wiring harness and a relay. i did however fuse the wire coming off the battery BTW. making your own wiring harness is pretty easy. i found that 14AWG stranded wire is easy to work with as well as sufficient size to carry the load. no problems so far Rich Edited February 13, 2008 by pathmaker1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
