Talking Odd light question

So some of you may know I bought 4 off road lights, 150 watts 6 inch diameter, in which I was originally gonna install on my brush guard.

I have two holes already there and no biggie to drill 2 more and run wires...but then I had an idea...yes it hurt! Why should i put 4 150 watts lights on it when 2 is plenty. So what should I do with the other two?

I thought of making them moverable spot lights, mounted so I can turn them around in the cab and not freeze my tail off. Anyone done with with existing lights they have? any ideas how I do this and what kit? I have the lights and wiring just need the mounting.

Anyone have any idea what I am talking about? I like to mount them like police cars have or cabbies looking for address...help would be wonderful!

Aimable pillar spotlights are single piece units. You'd really need to just get those.

Wait.. Where did you get 150 watt lights? I've heard of 130 but not 150.

4 150 watt bulbs will absolutely rape your electrical system.

HID FTMFW!

Back up lights? lol I don't wanna blind everyone behind me! "Officer there was this @*$S%$ with bright lights his license plate number was blahblahblah" lol

It comes with 130 but the upgrade bulb I bought with an extra 50 amp relay I believe and 50 amp toggle switch. Heavy gauge wire and this will run on my extra battery...once i get my extra battery!

Dang thanks for the link...didn't know it cost me that much! but I don't need the lights...just the handle and mounting...hmm plus I'd prefer it black.

Yes yes I know I'm picky!
