Default offroad light suggestions for new bumper?

hey!

i just got this push-guard bumper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-XJ-Cherokee-Front-Offroad-Bumper-Brush-Guard-/121097854869?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222001%26algo%3DSIC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D7179394518812435614%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D121086819473%26
and at the top there are two tabs that have mounts for lights.

there are SO many lights out there when i search offroad lights on ebay. anyone got any good suggestions on some decent ones that arent super pricey?

Love the look of this new bumper with some steel shackle rings

I bought some 7" H.I.D. Offroad lights for my Xj they are bright as hell. Every time I go night wheeling I am forced to be the trail guide since I light up the area the best. I am able to light tree lines up that are 500 yards Across the canyon with 35 watt lights My 2 hid's are brighter then the 4 150 watt day lighters I had on my Yj. They are each as bright as a 10" led light bar

Here are a couple of pics one pic has the yellow lense cover on I have more pics in my build thread towards the last pages

Yep EBay they were 136 for the pair shipped , I bought yellow lense covers for snow and dusty conditions. They don't come with a harness so you would need one of them

They come with the everything except a wiring , relay and switch The bulbs and ballast are already in the housing itself it also comes with a clear polycarbonate lense cover to cover the glass lens on the light. I bought an additional set of covers. . The lights have a hot and ground wire coming out of he housing to wire into a auxiliary light harness which you can get pretty much anywhere for 10-20 dollars.

Buy some cheap lights and convert them to HID. I did this for my roof rack lights and they put out a ton of light. Info in my build thread \/\/\/.
