You can get light bars for under a hundred bucks.

Look at my sig pic, LOL... They are Dick Cepek branded lights, but are made for them by KC. Hell even the glass says KC Daylighter when you look closely at it. 130 watts. I already had the Warn Trans4mer grill guard for the winch, so I didn't need to buy anything to mount the lights to.

My Hellas on my home-made light bar you can also see on the Grand Cherokee in my sig pic.

The 130 watt lights I mounted on my fairlead so they are on when I take the light bar off and slide the winch on.

Honestly, if I were you, I'd just do the Hellas behind the grill. They are thin, don't give off much heat at all, give off about the most light in any under 100 watt light available and at 55 watts only draw about 4 1/2 amps per since you are worried about your alternator...

I've been waiting and wondering if/when you were going to say that.

Ya I agree completely, I didn't think of how much heat they'd put off behind the grill especially if I was sitting not moving. I'm going to buy the hella 700ff since they are $5 more and bigger. Thanks for the help once again!
