Default looking for accessory lights

Does anyone know where you can buy off-road/fog/accessory lights in "bulk" or for cheap? Im looking to add some lighting to my truck and looking for some square lights. I am looking to get all to match, and probably a pair for spare replacments to keep them all matching. I've seen them called fog/off-road/tractor/accessory/etc lights. I know I can go to a local autoparts place and get them for around $25-$30 a pair, but I am looking for probably 6 pair (12 lights) and I dont need all the wiring and switches that come with EVERY pair. EDIT: dont need to have the brush gaurds either, but I do like that look.

Anyone know where you can get lights in bulk? If I could get them down around $20 a pair or $10 each that would be the range I am looking for.

Can't beat the $7/light on these, no guards though.

For bulk try searching for Peterson Manufacturing or Grote, they'll probably be more expensive though being a name brand.

Harbor Fright got several pairs for $13. Also try "Halogen Light" If you don't have a local store, you can buy on the site and they will ship it out. I think it might be free shipping on some stuff too.

I would assume Ebay has tons of cheep ones.

But you get what you pay for. These little ones don't put out great light compared to good ones like KC lights. And Halogen Light bulbs are the lowest of the bulbs when considering light output. HID's and LED's are 10 times as bright.

Good info. We dont have a harbor freight here, so I am limited to the website.

Im sure Ebay has a ton of them too, but when looking through ebay you get 1000's of items you are not looking for. I hate ebay now. Too comercialized.

I have emails to vendors on the PM and Grote mentioned above. I will let you guys know what I find.

Thanks!

DDM Tuning has some cheap LED's (around $40/light) that have been getting good reviews. Supposed to be very bright.
