Hmm, $60... You can get one little light pod for that.

www.olympusoffroad.com has the best prices I've seen.

Not going to happen.
This is probably your best bet; http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-12-Inch-LED-Light-Bar-DR-Series-Combo-Flood-Spot-Light-9-32V-72W-/181119929538?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a2b96ccc2&vxp=mtr
Although 60$ will get you a nice pair of Hella 500's, those are nice too...

The best cheap I would go with Olympus Offroad, he is a vendor here and offers a lifetime warranty on his light bars. I pan on getting a pro-series from him in the future.

Those are very good prices for the performance and warranty.
Will keep him in mind for future use.

If your budget is tight and you don't mind no warranty Fleabay is a way to go.
Otherwise Olumpus is a good option.

I'm going to guess this is a case of pick two.

Pick two: Cheap Price, Bright Output, Quality Part
