Help With Driving Lights

Put a new Westin Ultimate bull bar on my 08 screw-Westin had a promo of free driving lights. I got what i paid for with the free lights-55 watt low quality lights. Looking for suggestions for some driving lights. 100 watt? Name your poison.

KC Daylighter with Black Case and the Yellow Smiley face protective cover. I paid $119 for 2 of them 4 yrs ago. love them

got pics of them on 2 different trucks in my gallery


Those things are BRIGHT. They are very reliable and work great. Plus, it's pretty cool to turn 'em on when the yellow cover is one. Then your truck has 2 smiley faces.

KC'S look good. I have read many posts on how to wire. I think I like the idea of hooking trigger wire to high beam feed. Driving lights only on with high beam. Looks like it is safest to not blind someone and saves running switch into cab through firewall. Anyone know what wire on back of headlight is high beam power?

I had some of those smiley face covers. Then during a random wiring malfunction, the lights kicked on while I was on Vacation. I came back to smoldering not-so-happy faces.

The amazingly bright light literally burnt the covers.

yeah, they did get rather hot...but I never ran them long enough to hurt the covers.

Shock mounted KC Daylighters!

Had a rollover accident with my last truck and the lights didn't budge an inch.
