Default Need better lights

Hi

I was in trip this weekend, and i notice that i need better lights, when i run over black pavement, i can barely see the road.

I'm gonna put 3000K HID in my fogs, but what lights should i get and where to mount then. I have the H grill.

I want to get a bullbar but for is not an option, have to wait a little bit to this.

Why can't you do the bullbar? Have you seen the Smittybilt Street Bar, it's just $100?

The skid plate probably goes with the Pro-Comp lift.

Some of the 04-05 guys have put the square superduty fog lights in the opening in the bumper, probably be a cheap way to add another set:

That was what i was thinking, i can fit 4 lights there, but i don't know what light should give great output, like driving lights instead of fog lights.

I'm sure that when i put the HID in the fig, i won't need anymore short light, i need a little more mid/long range lights. What brand/model can fit this in this size??

H13 is the bulb size for your heads and H10 (SHOULD) be your fogs. I have HID's in my fogs and Heads. Search Amazon for a HID kit you can find several for under $100 bucks if money is tight for you.




All the light you could need

I have HID in my headlights, but is not enough. In low beam is really nice, i don't have any trouble with this, but in the highs is where the problems are, high beam is not enough, even with bi-xenon.
