Default Front lighting options

Show me what you have done and tell me about it, style, brands, price, purchase location, etc.

I don't have a lot of money to throw at my truck but need some more lighting for these dark northern drives to work and when coming out of hunting and fishing areas late at night.

Add to that I live out in the country in an area infested with deer and you can see my issue.

So give me a picture and some info to help me find a great price that comes with a great performing light or lights!

I have two rigid duallys on my bull bar, not the cheapest lighting, but can definitely get cheaper pods that will outshine your headlights.

Yeah I think you can buy 4 pods on eBay for something like $130. That would be plenty!

Older shot but I have a 22" bar below the grille. It's bright. Soon to have a 50" curved up top as well.Name:  770C4376-B864-41F2-B740-31F132C3F6E3_zpsjvbd5znv.jpg

What duallys do you have on the truck? spot or flood and how is the pattern/coverage for driving?

I have a few lights. 50" above the windshield, duallies on hood mounts and in the bumper. It's pretty bright.

I have just the spot pattern for now. They are good for driving. It lights up the shoulder a little bit and shines pretty far down the road
