Default Brightest pair of lights?

Hey guys, I am in the market for a pair of lights two mount on my winch bumper, I am going to be doing alot of night riding and these two lights are going to be the only ones for now until I get a roof rack, so I need them to be as bright as possible for around $120 bucks. I was looking at the hella 500's but I just need the brightest possible. Any help would be appreciated.

hella's are some nice lights, but are plastic and i've seen many break from tagging trees.

for the money, i'd go with kc daylighters or slimlites or even rally 800 hilites.

if you want small and powerful, check out either hid hilites or warn lights. but very pricey.
