Default Help me find some off road lights that fit this space?!

Hi guys,

Just finished painting/installing my Nate's 4x4 front and rear bumpers today. Now it's time for off road lights!

I want some decently powerful lights that will illuminate pretty far ahead of me. Not sure what to go with -- I've looked at Hella 500's and KC Hilites Daylighters 130W long range and everything in between...

My issue is that I have roughly 2.25" from my grill to the center of the mounting hole on my light bar. Not sure what lights will fit that space! (See Pic)

So, if anyone can suggest some lights that will fit that area and have good output for around $120 bucks or lower, that would be great!!

The front bumper: (I would prefer to mount the lights upside-down)

You'll probably have to stick to a lower profile light.

Good options :

KC SLimlights
Lightforce striker 170's
Hella FF series
Piaa 520's

Spend a little more and get an Olympus. Bar.

20" bright as day, and will fit between bar. I just didn't want to drill. :/

Too late :P I ran over to Pep Boys (apparently they have a light selection)... And I broke down and bought some KC Daylighters 100 Watt long range lights

They fit perfectly if I mount them right side up (above the bar), and I've now decided that I actually like the way that looks so I'm stoked!

Thanks anyways guys!
