preparing for led's

I would (and did) start with good headlights, before adding more lights.
Switched to TruckLite and found that, by themselves, they are good enough for most offroad situations. Wide & even light spread, sharp horizontal cutoff line.
A-pillar lights -
Flood lights reflect off the hood, which is annoying.
Spot lights contribute nothing on twisting trails.

I've had a cheap Amazon lightbar on my front bumper since they first got big about 2 years ago and it still works flawlessly. It did have condensation in it at one point but that's nothing a hairdryer and some silicone didn't fix. It may not have quite as much light as some high dollar lightbars but it has PLENTY enough for my needs. Especially since you can get 32" knockoff bars for like $35 nowadays lol.

GO with truck lites. Cheaper and better light pattern than the JW. JW puts out blobs of light of different colors and cuts off the low beam light when high beam is activated...I never figured out why they do that.

Another for truck lights. Great head lights. Didn't catch where you are from but if you are where there is snow and ice, get the version with heaters. As for the aux lights, I myself are running rigids. Came down between them and VisionX. Just didn't want those huge light cannons on my A pillar. Have the D2 driving up on the A pillar. Have the light splash so it is minimal. Then have a 10" dual beam on the winch hoop. The truck lights and rigid lights have close to the same temperature so when they are all one its hard to tell where one starts and the other ends.

Or, you may Google for TruckLite distributors in Canada.

Truck lite are amazing I hand been running for 3 winters in Winnipeg Manitoba, lows to -40 Celsius and lots of snow, only had lights Ice over once. I recently got the pulse width adapters and they get rid of the flickering and make your lights brighter
