Harbor freight also sells 100w off road lights for $25 a pair.

Very bright, very cheap, and upgradeable. Also has a protective cover over the lenses like most others.

Light Force. Top notch quality. Don't own any, but when I can afford them I will get a set of Light Force.

these are the lights i have, the harbor frieght ones, and i just epoxyed the HID bulbs into the back because they have a weird design for the bulb, i used H3 35w 4500kw bulbs which you can get for 30 dollars a pair and that includes the wiring and ballasts, and i just wired them to two switches, one switch for the inside lights one for the outside so i can have 2 on or 4. ill take a pic tonight of how they light everything up.

this is from 50 paces out, it hurts to look into them, also i found out that i have a bulb burnt out so thats only 3 lights

its also raining out so you have less light than usual because of glare, but that road is about a quarter mile and i can see down the whole thing.

Harbor Freight can't be beat then. I have the 55w square driving ones and they're bright as ****, so I'm sure the 100w ones are even better.
