Exclamation best off road light?

i am looking for a pair of 5 inch off road lights but they are not as abundant at the 6 inch ones... im looking for a main brand (not some asian company that has no experience of offroading) something that is gonna hold up... and looking not to spend much more then $100 on the pair... anyone got any suggestions?

When I think of quality off road lights, only one company comes to mind. "LightForce".
They have with even withstood a gun shot.

When I read the title I was gonna chime right in with LightForce as well, but then I read your post. You can get decent lights for under $100 but you ain't gonna even touch anything near "the best" for near $100 EACH...

I paid somewhere right around $60 for a pair of 5" stainless Dick Cepek lights which were made for them by KC (they are daylighters, even the class is etched KC). Got them off ebay prolly two years ago. Got a set NIB set of 6" for my truck and 5" to mount on my portable winch. 130 watts and they are bright!

My only issue with them is that even though the things are stainless, the mounting hardware is not and has started to rust.

i have 2 sets of piaa, their 510 ion fog, and the 510 driving, both have excellent light output, only negative is the lens gets hot and had my front end submerged in a mud puddle and cracked the fogs. still work but look weird.

They have some really neat LED stuff, cutting edge technology! Met with them and talked at length at an ORV show last fall.

BUT, you'd have a hard time buying a pair of their light MOUNTS for what the OP wants to pay for a pair of lights!!! LMAO...

The KC LZR LED lights are awesome. My friend runs them on his truck, they are bright, and durable as heck.

I have a set i'm selling, brand new if you're interested, toss me a PM

Mounts are easy to make. Were actually going to start making mounts for them when the prerunner tube bumper is done
