off road lights on brush guard?

i have been trying to decide on some off road lights for the brush guard on my 98 4runner. i have the factory hella square ones now but i want to get some bigger round ones for the top bar on my brush guard and get rid of the factory fog lamps. i have looked at a bunch of different ones and have not really heard any opinions on any. i noticed alot of people run the hella 500s but 55w seems kind of wimpy. anyone have any suggestions or opinions on what lights would be good? i want black, round and under $200.

I run the Hella 500 fogs but I personally like PIAA or Lightforce. You obviously want some high power driving lights cause 55w is standandard for most fogs or driving lights.

Pro Comps are great for the money. If you get them, I would recommend the day you get them, scuff them up with some sandpaper and repaint with about 2-3 good coats of gloss black to keep them in shape.

I did that with my pro comp 130's (8inchers) and they have done great against corrosion. Cheers!!!

Boaz,

Not sure how the stainless will hold up, mine were factory black...after a few months I noticed alittle surface rust near the bottoms. I cleaned them up and sprayed about 3 coats of glossy black on them....they turned out NICE! The 8inchers only cost around 32-34 dollars a piece.
