I like Hella's but they are pretty pricey. I'm going to try a new line of lights called "Light Force." A buddy of mine has them on his truck and they're crazy bright . . . not too terribly expensive.

Pro Comp makes a good bang for the buck light. i bought two 6" round lights and was blown away at how bright they were. i will buy two more because i am finding my self out working and playing at night more often and the more light the better. i might try those light forces too, i have heard lots of good things about those.

Not all of the Hella's are expensive. The 500 series is around $75 and the FF 300 series is around $120 for an entire kit. The 4000 series is $115 per lamp, but if you go for the 4000 HID then you are talking about $670 per lamp.

I have a set of the 500 fogs on my Rover and they have served me well. They throw enough light for driving or wheeling at night. I ruined my original Hellas wheeling so I didn't want to dump a ton of money on replacements that just might get smashed again. I would recommend getting the clear covers too to protect your lenses which are only $12 and clip on over your lights.

HAs anyone considered PIAA? I am considering buy a set either the 580 or the 80 Pro XT. Not sure which one to get. I have a set of KC slimlights and they are ok and only run about $155.

I run a set of Hella HID's and they put out some excellent light. I use to run four 6" KC daylighter's and they were nice but I got tired of replacing bulbs. I had the sealed beam ones not the h3 bulb but I was replacing one or two every week. KC does have a good warranty though. I sent them the burned out bulbs and they sent me new ones but the labor of changing one or two a week got old. The two HID's I have now put out way more light than the four KC's but the HID's are expensive. I also use to run four PIAA 150's. They run a H4 bulb so you get high and low beam but the bulbs on them also burn out. I run driving lights about 46 hours a week so your bulb wear will probably be alot less than mine but if you do use them a lot the HID's are the way to go.
