I buy the $24 walmart Baja lights then re-wire them and put 130w bulbs in them. I never worry about breaking them since they are so cheap. The only issue I have is they are annoying to adjust. Awesome amount of light for cheap though!

Yeah I guess I can't argue much about that. It's hard to beat the light output though, for the price. I don't mind the ****ty pattern, cause 90% of the time I use them in the woods, so scattered light isn't a big deal.

I'm just going to throw this out there. Don't waste money just trying to skimp. You will never be happy.

200$ and change for a 20" lightbar from Olympus offroad. Lifetime warranty, no questions asked!! Bright as all get out!!

Putco harness for your stock headlights...$29 bucks. If you want bright LEDS try Rigid Industries. Expensive but well worth it.

I got these a little over a week ago so I haven't had them long but I looked around for awhile and didn't have much money to spend for lights they arent the best light you'll find but they cost about 30 bucks deliverd I love them so far, there brighter then my high beams and shoot out farther with how I have them aimed

Gotta agree with him, I got their 10" light bar and its killer. I am going to look into their pod lights in the future as spot lights to test them out
