let's do it with the lights ON!!!
Hey, I am going to be getting a new(well used, but new enough) grill guard here within the next two weeks. I was wondering what is the best performing, best priced, and best looking off road light that I can mount on the center of it? I would like the best of all worlds, Looks, price, and performance. I'm not looking for the top of the line lights, just a decent pair(I think there's just gonna be two of them). I would also like to know what places have the best deals on these lights, and if buying used(or just preowned) is an option. I want something that will be affordable(IE under $100 for the pair, if that's do-able), perform great(strength, brightness, easy assembly is a plus, too.... ME+wiring=bad news) and look great on the front of my guard. These will be going on a Black 1994 4Runner, slightly higher than stock, so I hope this kind of "sets the mood" for the verdict on the lights.

easy answer, Hella 500's i installed them myself and at the time i had no mechanical/wiring ability. You can purchase them for under 100 dollars and they work great.

Yes, they look pretty good i think. I was moving some boxes and i broke one of mine, so at the moment i have KC daylighters, they also work great, but they are not as slim as the hella 500s |

the KCs are slightly more expensive i believe (paid 100 bucks for them in san diego) and they came with yellow plastic smiley covers... looked so sick. but my friend was a moron and took one of the screws holding the latch together off and lost it. now the KC is cracked because i cant put a cover on it. sucks huh?

they come with yellow smiley covers
:wave: they look like that little guys face, you can buy covers for them, i bought some 'rock guard' covers they are black and made of plastic. |

Well I am a slut for PIAA's but my other half is a slut for lightforce. So no verdict from us. Sorry...
And I don't even have pictures to back it up either... I need to go crawl on a stinger now... |
ok then lysmachia ill change my name to PIAA ;). this is what makes a good moderator, one who offers herself.
