i have 4 procomp 6 inch lights, i really like them, easy to aim them and they tend to stay in place, the only reason i have them is they came free with my roof rack. but they are great driving lights, i think they are on the cheeper end of the price spectrum.

i also have construction equipment lights that i LOVE they are made of hard plastic give off a TON of light in a wide patern, i use them for the side and back lights, they dont work wel for driving light because they have such a wide beam of light. the lenses are also a lot more durable (atlest they seem to be) the procomp ones are glass and i would think would shater very easy but these i dont think are regular glass.....i have a total of 10 of these lights 2 front bumper (the last lights, KC, broke) two to each side two to the back and two under the truck. all 10 work great and give me the best light.

the 4 procomp lights are on the roof rack for driving lights, but wouldnt put them on the bumper because i would think they would break from junk hitting them...

4 KC 800 series lights - 2 floods and 2 beams mounted on a Randy Ellis Design light bar. Absolutely love these lights but the PA environment has not been friendly to them. 1 burned out bulb and 2 bad relays. KC gives a 23 year warranty on their products though so it's just a matter of sending the parts back.

Construction lights are sweet!!!!!
Ive got a couple of cat lights, but im not sure if they will work or not, i think they are designed for a 24v system....

ive been using hella 500s for a while now, on several vehicles
they are quality, bright, and you can find them for 60 bucks with stone covers and a wiring kit
There are better lights out there but for me these are a great value

I dont have LED ones but i will try and hook them up to a battery and see what happens... If they are bright enough i will likely hook them up to the truck...
