besides the high priced LED light bars and the top dollar after market lights, im talkin walmart, advance, autozone, harbor freight, ace hardware light.

which ones have you guys tried and preferred? which ones are the best bang for your buck? lookin to buy a couple without empying the bank..

 

If you consider $60 ( I think that's how much they cost now) as being in your budget, hella 500's are hard to beat. They come with covers, high quality wiring kit with relay and switch.

You will surely be happier with that than anything you can get off the shelf from Wal-Mart, an auto parts store accessory aisle or a hardware store.

 

Just don't drop them on the ground the lenses WILL crack. I would know...

 

60 for 2? im wanting to go low dollar cause i want 4 up front and 2 out back

what would be really nice is to have a police spotlight mounted up to the window pillar!

 

Harbor freight has driving lights, 55w, I have them on my roof. $10.99 a pair, comes with a switch and some wire, but you will probably need more wire. They also have 100w lights, $25 a pair, they're pretty bright too

 

I've run Hella FF500s, Black Magics, and the small FF50s. I've also used Walmart pilot specials, Harbor Freight lights (the utility and driving) and just got into the LED realm with some 27w ones I'm putting on the A-pillars.

Overall, I'm happiest with the FF500s. Like stated before, you get a stone guard, wiring, switch, and they are easy to maintain. I got mine for $65 a pair, both in pencil and flood patterns.

 

The next set of lights I'm going for are some 55w hid lights off ebay. You can find the rugged ridge lights on there for pretty cheap.

 

howd you like them pilot lights? a real good friend of mine told me that autozone has Pilot brand lights that are same wattage and same material as the KC lights but for half the price. anyone try these?

These are some serious LED'S

 

look into the RuffStuff HIDs. wait for them to have a 20% off sale and get 'em for around $80 a piece. i have two on the front of my MJ and they are a billion times brighter than my friends exploder with 6 55w halogen lights. you will never consider a halogen light again hahaha

 

X2. They are bright as hell

 

I had a couple of sets of the Pilot lights from AZ, everyone thought they were KC's. Without the light cover, you can hardly tell the difference.

 

A lot of my friends run the kragen HID lights. From what I have seen, they work AWESOME. lol

 

They really were not all that bad. Put out good light, and only got condensation on really humid days (Hellas have NEVER gotten condensation). Had a decent amount of light scatter though. Would blind people if i used them on the road, where the Hellas had a very tight beam, and didn't blind oncoming traffic.

 

I love how no one even batted an eye at this guys comment. These lights are expensive as *****! Why you would even post this in a budget thread is beyond me.
