honestly for the price, i just built a light bar with 4 of these. they are extremely bright if you get the spot light bulb for them. they light up the night and they are durable as hell. my cousin uses them on all of his work trucks and they last forever. they have a rubber housing so the sticks and what not will not hurt them. but if you have money to spend on kc's be my guest.

x2! I love mine. and if you happen to break one on the trail they're a cheap fix. 2 baja lights for 25 bucks. cant beat that.

Another vote for Harbor Freight here. But I suggest a different set.

http://www.harborfreight.com/off-roa...stem-3029.html

These come with wire, switch, and mounting tabs.

A PAIR of 100W lights for less than $30. Several members here have used them, and have even started threads about them. Everyone that gets them loves them.

Search, there are threads already discussing this.

I have 4 KC slim lights on my roof, two driving lights and two fog. Ive never felt like I needed more light and they werent tooooo expensive. Ive heard hella lights are hella crappy unless you buy the nicer ones. Their cheaper ones are no good but that was just rumors.

I've had good luck with Grote 100W off road lights.
http://grote.com/product.php?product_number=64541-5
About $20 a piece at a local heavy truck parts dealer. They're also available in a round version.

I have a hard time swalloing that kind of cash for some of the high end lights. Sure they work great, but are they 10X better to justify the cost? What happens when one takes a rock to the lens? I guess I would compare it to wearing a Rolex to a cage fight.
