Default Off-road light help/recommendations PLEASE!

So i've used the search function and searched quite a few different auto-accesory sites and just havent been able to find anything i feel real great about purchasing, I dont know much about this type of lighting.I just purchased this bull bar http://truckgeardirect.com/?ITEMID=WD-508 and i want to add 2 lights to it (I think only 4.5" lights will fit, if you know something i dont please tell.) I see a lot of you guys running these types of lights behind your grilles so please tell me...
1. Brand you bought
2. Type (offroad, driving, or fog)
3. Size of light
My budget is around $150. Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hella is what everyones running. They even sell them at walmart. Most use the driving light 50w. some upgrade the bulbs to 100w for brighter lighting after they're installed.

thanks for the info, didnt know they were so common at local stores. I shoud've mentioned that i want the kit so it comes with the wires and switch too. And my biggest problem is finding these 2-light kits in the 4.5" size the bull bar requires.

All of the hella kits come with wiring, switch, relay, etc. Everything you need to put 'em on. You may just want to have some heat shrink for the connections a few extra butt connectors just in case and maybe a little extra wire if needed. Real simple.

Let us know how much you like that bull bar, that is an excellent price! I would definitely think about purchasing one from that site!

IIRC you can get a nice set of KC's for like $149 at the local parts store (pep boys, advance, autzone)

Sol-Teks Are by far the best ive seen, but man are they expensive!




HID Headlights & HID Foglights


4 Sol-Teks
