Default Driving Lights, Can't Decide

Well I finally grabbed the set of the KC Rally Series I removed from the Jeep a few years back. These are the flood lenses and I was wondering, should I run these or should I keep my Hella 500's on which I've been quite happy with for the last two years? I know the KC's are 110 Watt lights while the Hella's are only 55 Watt. The KC's have been installed, but never hooked up while they were on the Jeep. I guess what I'm truly asking, is should I temporarily blind oncoming the deer in my way, or permanently blind them?

I like the KC's they blend in with the truck well and I think will do you good.If you don't use the KC's I could put them to good use...

Yeah, if you don't use one set I'll be happy to but you could put the set that's not on your bumper on your headache rack, mounted backwards for reverse lights. That's what i'd do. My reverse lights suck ***.

Have a set of Asis that my father had back in college behind the grille of a Cougar on my headache rack. Only visible chrome on the truck. Everything back there is getting upgraded to LED's with the new headache rack though. Also have a smaller set of halogens hanging off the back bumper. I'd use both but one set of them is going to my father when he finally hits a deer and discovers it's way cheaper to get a front end replacement on his Dodge Cummins than replacing with OE bumpers. Has anyone ever set the lights up to where they are grounded internally? The Asis are set up that way, but the Hella's (plastic housing) and KC's (metal housing) are not. I had the KC's apart yesterday (bumper is grounded and I thing it looks ugly running more than one wire) and was noticing that its pretty much grounded but I couldn't get it to work.

Well I put the KC's on and realized they are 130W lights. I like a little more than the Hellas.

Do you need to do anything with the power supply for offroad/auxiliary lights? I want to put a brush guard on my 90, a lot like yours, and a roll bar rather than a headache rack.

I can't decide if I should put two forward facing lights and two rear facing on the rollbar, or lights on the brush guard and then swivel lights on the rollbar...
