amazon has good prices. and it's easy to get free shipping. they deliver pretty quick too.
I think that all the cool kids are going with LED lights lately because they're better.
maybe if you could mount some of these? http://www.myhellalights.com/index.p.../micro-70-led/
or maybe find out who makes these ones (second image) http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...287#post833287
but I dont really see the point in off road lights anyway. unless you're out in the wilderness a lot at night.

I might get some led lights to and kinda hide them in the grill or under the painted section of my bumper just for extra light, the main reason im getting lights is because i dont want to get into a situation where i need them and dont have them, plus my stepdad owns some land out in south carolina that im going to be going to alot more now haha

They're not enough because at certain angles they could b pointed in a weird direction. With light on ur roof or somethin it just fans out a lot more light on top of the fact that they are drasticly brighter.

Upgrading your head lamps to HID H4 makes a big (night and day) difference..

I have Hella Black Magic's and love them. They are plenty bright, brighter than my headlights. I got them for $99 shipped.

I do want to upgrade to h4's eventually but I'm getting a light bar made so I figured why not, and I figured these were mostly for looks but I'm not much into chrome or really flashy things and even the reflections in the back of the lenses in the regular 500's bother me a little
