Offroad lighting?
#11
A few guys around here have them, and they are very bright.
A small bar in this style of hood would be pretty sweet too.

The lights were 11$ each and about 40 for the HID setup. So all said and done around 65$ or so, plus whatever wiring and relays you may need.

matter of opinion I run 4x roof ligts that are 100 watt bulbs and they are not as bright as I want them to be. I also have 2x cree led offroad lights that are 18 watts each and are as bright if not brighter then my headlights with h,i.ds. I also have 2x cree led fog lights and 2x 4 inch round lights on my stinger bar with 100 watt bulbs. I am removing the roof lights to replace it with a cree led light bar. they are brighter and they have a flood/spot light combo mixed in. its a slim design and u can modify it as quick release. they also draw less currant for when ur offroading at night whoch is less strain on ur battery and alternator. check ebay or amazon for some deals on them

I think I'm going to settle with this bad boy...
Unless my measurements are way off, it should fit nicely...tucked out of the way, and a low profile look.
Gotta wait for my next paycheck, so I'm still in the planning stages. I'm wondering if anybody can give me a rundown on how to wire this thing up, (the comments on the item say the instructions are sketchy at best)
I'm thinking of also adding some very small led bars to the back later on as some awesome back up lights >
Thanks for all the feedback!

Wiring will really depend on what they mean by 'PROFESSIONAL HARNESS CONNECTOR.' If it's a relay harness, then it should be pretty simple. If you have to add one on your own, it gets a little more complicated. And I wouldn't run that without a relay. You can get switches that are 'rated' for 30 amps, but I wouldn't trust one from any of these auto stores to carry the 20 -25A that thing will pull.

Relays and fuses are certainly needed with the wattage the bigger bars need. It's a lot easier to run a little 16ga switch wire through to the harness into the interior. And you can pull power to switch a relay from almost anywhere so you could make it so aux lights will only come on when the park lights are on as an example.
