Default Wallyworld lights

On one of my adventures to wallyworld (walmart) i came across these...Want to know what your thoughts are for $19 i may pickthem up and try em out when funds permit...



These would be to get some wider light distrubution...right now my current headlights are about the width of the jeep itself...



Then these would be just for extra light

The driving lights look really good as far as light. and i think i read it was a 55w bulb...

I kind of like the look of these over the square baja lights they had. and looks like they might produce a little bit whiter light then the baja's

For some reason I cant see the pics you posted but if they are small (about 2"x3") and oval with a regular metal mounting bracket then I have 4 of them on a roof bar and they have been great. They arnt daylighters but they provide plenty of light and look pretty good too.

The 55w Blazers are pretty good, I have two on my bumper run off a relay and theyre actually brighter than my headlights.

This is with Low Beams and with crappy cell phone pictures. But the back wall is about 500-600 feet away

But they are well worth the money!

here is a link:

But to answer your question,

the wally world lights will work,

you can upgrade the wiring and make them 100 watt with new bulbs and a relay

I got those little baja lights at walmart, and mounted them where the stock Cherokee has predrilled holes for foglights. And I aimed them downward when I go out trailing/camping at night. They do the job real well... When they don't have mud on them.

Anyways, Im think about buying a real legit set for my Roof rack. I want something that'll give a long beam. Any ideas, lookin for two rack lights.

Yes they are head lights haha.

And now i got what you are trying to say.

Yeah the Baja lights would be a good addition-anything with the fog beam

And if you dont want the yellow normal halogen color.



You can get some HID simulate bulbs that are 55w. They are super bright white. I got mine for $10 on sale.
