best lights for tjm-15
im getting a tjm very soon, just waiting on him to find a stock bumper (ranski), anyone in or near kansas with a stock bumper for a 2000 4runner, hit him up on the board, hes on the search. anyways i was planning on putting 2 lights up front on it. what is everyone running, and what would yall recommend? ive got 3 pro comp lights up on the rack that throw the light a good distance down the trail, so i was thinking maybe some lights on the tjm that are very bright for about 10 feet or so? the other variable is the size, i dont know what size light will fit. please vote and post feedback. thanks.

I'd vote now but don't know alot about those lights, need to do some research. I got a pair of 500's on my rig, seem to do the trick, but hadn't really looked around. I am a few months behind you on that mod, but do plan to upgrade to a better light when I get my TJM around Christmas time, so would like to know how this turns out.

I paid $180 + shipping on ebay for my IPF 900 MSR's. 130W EACH and came w/ the harness. AWESOME light, but they are Driving Beam and aren't meant for on-road, at least not in traffic.
The best bang-for-the-buck is the Hella 500 BY FAR. you can now get them in clear lenses as well if you like that look.
from another post:
for FOGS, i'd look at something to put built-in to the bumper and NOT on the top lip of the bumper or brush guard - although it will work, but just not as well for fog. for best results, fog lights need to be as low as possible. something in the 55W range like the IPF 924's or Hella 500's or smaller if you can find them work the best. you don't want TOO bright of a light in the fog - only enough to penetrate.
for DRIVING LIGHTS in the 55W class, you can't beat the Hella 500's - no matter how much you spend. the Hella ff1000's are really nice and match the headlights better and are only $95 + shipping on ebay. IPF has the 55W 968 that's a direct competetor for the ff1000's and are a very nice light as well.
for 100W class, the Hella 4000's are a good choice along with the Lightforce 170's.
for 130W class, there's only ONE, and that's IPF!
Hella 500:
Hella ff1000:
IPF 968:
Lightforce 170:
IPF 900:
throw a pair of 55W fogs and a pair of 130W driving lights on w/ High Beams and it's
BRIGHT
to say the least
on long deserted stretches, i can make out OBJECTS at over 3/4 MILE AWAY...
(think aircraft-landing-lights-kind-of-bright... )

Yeah suggested already.......
and I guess its all about which ones you have because my PIAA 580 are for certain brighter than my IPF JOIC's theres prolly a reason for that.
