Check out extreme offroad lighting. Way cheaper than buying a bar and adding lights. Taylor is a good guy with a great product.

honestly they arent crazy bright but i actually use them more as running lights with the covers on than as spot lights. but the lights are a great deal (80 for a set of 2 with harness) but im a highschooler on a budget so you could probably spend alittle more for better lights

Are the greens 8000k too? I know the low/high beams are but not sure about the fogs. I just got them today. I think im going to do the bambi mod later this week just for ****s and giggles.

Also theyre more of a lime green or monster energy green in person. The pics dont do justice. Cant wait to see how much they work tonight on the way to work.

Bambi mod? here is a pic from ddmtunings website about the temp an wattage. I think they just put a film over the fog bulb or something like that to make it green, so they may be 8000K as well.

Raceline Raptors. Found them at discount tire for cheap and nobody else has them so I got them. I was going for rockstars but everyone has them to a point I didn't want them anymore.. It was like $850 for a set of 4 20x9s

Bambi mod lets you run the high beams and fogs at the same time. I think if I go back to the stock headlight housings (kinda sick of these spyders) im going to do 5000k's because the whiteness in them. But I may also get 8000k for the blue again. Maybe. I did notice the bulb was semi green when I opened the box.
