Buy you some of these:
I have 2 KC's on my bumper and when I did my roof rack I decided there was no way in hell I was paying that money for KCs again.
I mounted 4 of these Hella's on my roof rack and am beyond impressed with them, especially for the price. I sanded them down lightly and sprayed them black because some have had some surface rust issues on them, that and I don't like chrome.
I have some Hella 500ff's on my A-Pillar light mounts and I personally wouldn't put them anywhere else. Maybe if you upgrade to 100 watt bulbs they would be worth it but IMO these Hella Optilux's are the best bang for the buck out there.
Comes with everything you need to wire them up as well.
Top 4 are the Hella's, bottom is 2 KCs. Output looks the same to me.

Those are def in my price range, but im interested in the hella 500's because in the future I wanna convert them to hid.
Also did you fab those a-pillar mounts yourself? I would like to get me a set.

Well if you are converting them to HID then those would make sense.
I bought the A-Pillar mounts from Detours:

I don't think they are on his website yet so probably will have to PM him or call to order them.

I was just checking out eBay. They have a few deals on there. 8-130w offroad lights $110 shipped. There's also a 20 pack! $250+50$ to ship. Works out to $1 more per light than the $14 each on the 8pack.
