off road lights???

Ok I got a westin bull bar for christmas and now I need offroad lights. Which would you recomend? I like these procomp ones I found 6" round stainless steel 130 watt. They are 40 a piece. Or would you guys recomend KC. My buddy likes the procomp cause he says they are skinnier havent seen the procomp ones in person but have seen the kc ones in person cause he has them. Just dont like the kc cause they are chrome finish might rust but have a stainless seal. And they are only 100 watt 6" Tell me what you guys think

My buddy has Procomp lights on his rig and he says he abuses them and they still work.

I'm not sure if all 4 lights are procomps or just two of them.

Just so you know, 100w will be illegal to drive with. I'm in the same boat and am looking for a powerful 55w light bulb that I can drive with.

PIAA makes a 55w=110w bulb that is apparently street legal. You will have to have your bulbs covered all the time.

Look around, you can find good prices for a set of Hella 500's. Got me a set last week for $36.

Bcrab, how do the look? What's the diff between those and the stock headlights, both on at the same time or just the hellas?

They look nice, I got black housings. They have a rocker switch with the kit that I mounted next to the light switch. They're nice and bright to.

Can you guys take some pics to distinguish how much brighter they are at night?

They were godawfully bright though. I used to leave the Yellow "Smiley Face" caps on and run around with them turned on...The yellow glow was pretty cool looking

Ya I dont know if I want them for driving around. I got fog lights too. I kinda want them for just messing around with. If I bought 100 watt or bigger even if im driving and not using them they have to be covered?

I think so. I'm on my phone so I'm too lazy to see if I repeated this or not but my buddy in his Jeep doesn't have his covered. As far as I know, he's never been hassled for them. We're also in the south. Probably varies by location so you would want to call up the local dmv probably
