Lights?

I was wondering what the best driving light for the value would be to install on the front bumper of my pickup and how much work is installing a set of these lights.

I just installed Fog lights on mine .They say it's better to use a relay too rather then just a switch . Here is the link for wiring it .

I would go with Hella Fog lights, 500 series are very good. If anyone has a light for a good price to these please post.

20$ each from Summit, 5" with 100 watt bulb. Was about 130$ with relays, my friend worked with limos so the wire was "free".

These have lasted over a year with no rust or lense fogging.

$14 each at Princess Auto. 100w, round pattern of light that's about 15' wide, 50' from my truck. Great at night with no streetlights, but too bright for snowy conditions. They rust easily too, so scratch off the chrome and tremclad 'em before installation.
