I figured this could be for people who have offroad lights to give a review on their lights and for people looking to buy will have a place to help them decide. Please post what lights you own and a review on those lights. Also a pic of them shining forward at night would be appreciated.

My 94 Country with some cheap "Baja Foxhound" offroad lights. They were like 31 dollars at Advance Auto parts, came with lights, covers, switch, wires and fuse on the power wire, and mounting hardware. Pretty decent boost in lighting.

Hella 500ff's on the front bumper. Got them for $70 at Auto Zone. They are very nice and I would recommend them to anyone. Theyre basically like another set of high beams. I also have 4 130watt KC Daylighters on my roof. Those suckers are blinding (they should be for $130 a pair from SummitRacing). I would also recommend them to if you can afford them.

Pics are in my photo album on my profile.

Check out the IPF 968's, really great light comes with 55 and 100 watt bulbs, wiring harness is excellent as well, makes for an easy install...they're not cheap, 130 bucks if i remember correctly, but well worth the money.

I just bought a set of Hella 500FF Driving lights. I am going to install a HID kit in them. I hope to do a small write up with a review for people who want to go down that route. Cost around 120 for the lights and the hids.
