Post Offroad Lights

Hey! I have a bar and lights on my truck but I want to replace the lights because the ones on there are crap. They don't have to be offroad, driving lights would be great too, any suggestions? Also, there is already a switch on the dash how could I wire them to that? Thanks for your help!

If the wire is large enough to carry the load of the new lights then you can just plug the new lights into the existing wiring. You may get away with just changing the fuse or your current set up might be perfect

I have 130w KC slimlites and 100w KC daylighters and I love both of them, but they are more of a long range spot light. I hear good things about the hella 500s as a driving light.. I'll probably get 2 or 4 of those and put them on my toolbox for a backup light

I recommend some Grote Halogen Lights. You can get them off amazon for like 35 bucks. And they're way cheaper than any Hella or lightforce or anything. I have 11 of them on my vehicle and I love them.

I have KC slimlite fogs in my bull bar which are awesome and i also have Westin spots in my grille that a friend sold me for 20 bucks. But they won't aim down enough so I plan on getting hella 500's to put in there since they're so slim and cheap. When I get a tool box I'll probably use the Westins for backup lights
