So i recently made a gear basket and i am looking for some lights to put on the top. I read that the 30 dollar walmart lights are good but would i be better of to buy some KC lights or a name brand? What am i really sacrificing for the cheep price or with KC's am i mainly paying for the name?

 

I run the baja lights from walmart. I like them for the price. There is a bulb upgrade that can be done. The only thing i dont like is how fast the hardware rust. It was pretty much over night. Look in my album for some pics

 

I have cheepo wal-mart lights(55watt) on my front bumper now and they are ok, (well good for $20) i was just mainly looking for lights to shine to the way outside like this \ / so i can light the ditches up better and they sure do do that. But in the past i have ran kc lights and i must say they are WAY brighter and better built than my current wal-mart lights but the kc was more wattage(130watt) so obviously brighter. But in my opinion if your looking for a good well built set of lights to last a long time and dont mind spending the money KC's are definatly the way to go, they will outlast wal-mart lights anyday. My dad has his kc's from when he was a kid(say 15-20 years) and still worked dang good. I just bought the cheepo wal-mart lights because i didn't have much money and wanted a set of lights, but my plan is to run them on the front now and when i get the extra cash buy kc's and throw them up front and put the wal-mart lights on the back for back-up lights.

 

You get what you pay for man. I have 4 Daylighters on my roof and they are brighter then s***. Look in my pics and you will see what I am talking about. I also have a pair of Hella 500ff on my bumper. Those arent as bright as the daylighters but they are still brighter then my high beams. My advice is to go with a brand like Hella because they are alot cheaper then the Daylighters and still are pretty bright.

 

Thanks for all the info ill probably drop the money cause until i get the money for a lift and new tires ill mainly be using them for driving in snow when my lights just don't really cut it

 

Good idea, you can never go wrong having too many/bright lights

 

Have any of you guys used ipf lights there pretty reasonably priced just a little more than the hella black magics about twice the price of the hella 500s though

 

Worst money I ever spent was on the Wally World lights. Mid as well flush money down the toilet with your dead fish.
I recently bought four of these. They are just as good as the 2 KCs I have on my front bumper.
Sand em down and slap some black paint on them.
Comes with everything needed to wire them up.

 

get some light housings that you like and put a hid kit in them and youll be happy and wont have much invested since youll only need 2 maybe 3.
get a set of hid kits from here after you find a decent housing.
