I bought pilot offroad lights from autozone for 49.99 and the install was pretty easy the hardest part was drilling through the front frame rail to mount them

Was it 49.99 for each? or a pair? How is the light coming from it?

That was for a pair of them and I got the pencil beams and the light out put is good I found a spot to point them a ways away since they are aimed wrong lol and the light reached out probably 200 yards and you could notice the difference over the high beams out there and I was impressed but am upgrading the bulb so it matches the headlights (same color) but 54 dollars after tax and they look great you can see in the picture

I just wired mine up today and I keep blowing the inline fuse. I tapped into the highbeam wire and there is power coming from both the highbeam wire and red batt. wire. Is it the ground?? I have the 2 lights grounded to the cross rail where I mounted the lights and the "black box thing" to the bolt where the main fuse box is grounded to. For the life of me I can't get them to work. Any ideas??

Um, I used the bussman inline holder. But i actually wanted the two prong fuse holder instead, but the glass one is working great.. so im runnin it. I got the autozone special for like $5 or something.
