I have the mounts welded into the new custom bumper, but would love to get a recommendation for the kind of offroad lights are good to mount there. Also should I go with the big alternator at that time? I've been waiting for mine to go, but its been working great

The only advice i can give is i dont really care for KC lights because they get really hot. The other thing about the alternator is do you know what amp alt you got right now. They made 3 different ones for my 88 but i dont know if they changed anything on the 90's model. they made a 60, a 85, and a 100 amp. So you might wanna find out what it has on it now.

i personally like the hella lights.... model 500 or 550. one is round and the other is rectangle. i am running 3 pairs of lights on my stock alt. and battery with no problems whatsoever. but mine is a 99 and probably has a different alt alltogether.

I put the replacement IPF headlights in the front of the jeep with the Fatboy lights patterns. So I'm running a bit more power than the factory on the main lights now. (But boy are they better)
How do I find out (is there a plate on the alternator) for the output?

I am running a set of Hella 500's w/ 55W and a set of 450's w/ 100W. I have had no problems and have IPF H4's you will be fine.
I want to know about the deal on the 550's off ebay.
