I wanna put some big lights on top... What's recommended?

 

Kc lights, or the ones with the smiley face covers on e,

 

Depends. Are you tryin to see way out in the distance, or are these for close range, and do you prefer LED or incandescent?

I'm thinking of doing this myself. Anyone who's ever had to back down a dark trail at night knows the factory reverse lights SUCK, so I'd like to have some LED floodlights facing back. For the front... well, ever notice the ditch lights on a railroad locomotive? They're angled in towards the centerline of the tracks, so that where the beams cross there's a hotspot in front of the locomotive, and then each beam continues on to light up the opposite wayside. I'll do something similar.

Around here there's low-hanging branches so I'm trying to think of a way to protect them on top of the cab. Maybe I'll put my air horns up there too.

 

I think the one's with the smiley face covers are made be KC also, I'm pretty sure they are called Kc Daylighters

 

In all reality, KC, Piaa, Hella, its six of one half dozen of the other.

On my old trail rig I had both KC's at one point and Piaa's. And there wasn't much difference between the two.

I have always gone with 6 inch rounds. Its a good compromise for output and size.
I have in boxes to go in my 250, 3 pairs of 6inch KC's 1 pair of 130W long range 2 pairs of 100W medium range, and 2 pairs of 55W floods one for each side of a roof rack and a pair to go on the back. With this as well is a 250 amp alt to power everything along with my stereo. keep in mind your power draw (a=w/v) so...
amps=watts/12, keep within the limits of your system.

Some tips... always wire them with a relay. I prefer metal housings rather then plastic, plastic tends to crack and break apart over long sun exposure. Check your local laws, in my area it is a fix-it-ticket if you use lighting above the bumper (ie. not fog lights) on road and technically it is the same ticket to drive on road without the covers on them. Coming from the voice of experience, if you run them without covers keep them in the truck and the cops will usually just let you put them on and save themselves the paperwork.

 

i run piaa fogs in my bumper, i beleive 540s, really nice.
also run 130w kc daylighters on the brush guard.....super bright. you will think your normal headlights and even brights are a lame duck because with the kc's you can see for days
at the same time we wired those in we installed a wrangler power products dual battery kit and a main switch panel in the cab instead of using the stupid looking switch that comes with each set of lights and the switch panel has its own individual power line going to the battery

 

I'd like to figure out a way to use some kc lights like those in the grill guard without a grill guard and make it look like a clean install. Only thing I've come up with is to get one of the f250 bumpers with the holes in the front and mount some super bright fogs in there or a lightning valance with fogs in there, or both.

 

Big Green, who is that bumper setup made by and where can you get it? Very nice truck!

 

Bronco Air.

Let me google that for you

 

^^^^^^Bingo

 

I appreciate that Sidewinder & BG LOL!

 

I have a set of KC Daylighters on my bumper, They are super bright! I would recommend them because of pricing and durability, but in general most of the big name companies are all generically the same

 

@biggreen mind if I pm you? I have a few questions about the bumper and the dual battery kit but I don't want to thread jack

 

Something like this?

 

Yes, exactly l just need to find a deal on one of those bumpers in good shape like my stock one.
