Default Help with LIGHTS, please.....

Ok, i want to add two lights , behind the grill or on my bull bar. I need the lights to be super bright and have the longest range possible, as i use the truck in the bushes at night , so i want to see as far and clear as possible.I dont know much about lights, i tried to search and i get confused, too many. What do i need????Thanks.

Get Hella 500's... easy to set up, cheap($60 from amazon), Super clean housing, and they put out a ton of light.

As you can see there's a lot of light up close but it goes out there too, you see the road sign you couldn't see before.

I use em for checkin cattle on my buddies 350 acre farm.
They have a chrome housing with glass lenses, large rubber gaskets, just about the same thing that other name brand lights have.

The hellas are 55w but you can put 100w bulbs in them. I hear that there isnt a big difference, but cant tell you for sure.

I have KC slimlites on the bull bar and Hella 500's in the grille and they're pretty much the same. The Hellas are a lot more low profile than the KC's.
