Thank you for your help, and once again I hope I didn't **** anyone off.
IPF H4 headlights-$79
Headlight upgrade wiring harness- $33
Hella H4 Xenon 60/55W bulbs- $30

I got KC floods on the bottom, 2 Harbor freight 100w lights on the bumper and 4 harbor freight $20 (a pair) lights up top. the lights on the rack have been upgraded with larger gauge wire and 100w bulbs for $6 a piece.

No pics with lights on bc it just looked like a massive blind in the camera.

That looks awesome. How do you like your bumper set up with the 100w on the inside and 55w on the outside? Are they both fogs or driving lights too?

How did you run your wires down from the lights to inside?

Those surprised me too. Experience has taught me not to get to deep in the wiring of vehicles I depend on so, I had help but, he removed the plugs and soldered in longer leads otherwise they would have been in the way of this mounting.

If I decide I want more light, I might get the flush mount wide-beams Rigid just came out with for the bumper.

Cheap $36 pair Blazer brand lights, 55W each, run lots with mix of white pencil beam and amber wide angle beam. Cheap to replace the broken ones, plastic bodies don't rust, I change the hardware to stainless, Roofs have been on 4 summer, 3 winters. Run your lights thru relays and let your switching control your relays. Run 10 - 12 ga wiring to insure you can handle the power requirements to the lights. Heavy wires on grounds also! Each of your lights is going to pull over 4 amps, I run double ground points for insurance of continuity in all weather.

I ran for cheap lights from harbor freight $13 a pop and put 100 watt bulbs in them. so if they break they are cheap to replace. i have them set up as pairs on relays middle to are for just barely off the road lines and the outers are set up for 45 degre or so. so when im side ways i can see and allows me to see deer coming to the road.
