Get some 6 or 8 inch hella rally lights there about 80 for a set. And buy a cheap set of hids and rig it up. It looks super nice and there ridiculously bright

Tough question to answer since budget is always a concern.
$
Conventional lights (incandescent or halogen)) are always the first choice for folks because they have been around quite a while and have a loyal following.

$$
HID's are great lights but they do require a warm period before you'll get the max light output (watts or the new standard, lumens)

$$-$$$
LED's are the lastest improvement in lighting and they simply blow everything else out of the water. Incredible output at a fraction of the power (amps) needed to power the 2 previous lights.

Let me know if you want some links to any of these.
