Thumbs up Hood/Windshield lights

For the life of me I can't remember the name of the lights that go at the bottom of the windshield one on each side?
Do these wire to a switch panel or just a aftermarket install?

Well you can use any brand light you want. If that's what you were getting at.

I've got my 2 Hella 500 ff lights on the windshield. And they are hooked up to a switch, which is right above my left knee.

I have a couple of lights and seeing at night is no issue
Thanks echo,
That's good to know they don't really light up the road because that's exactly what I was looking for. I want to get more light on the road, the light bar (to me) only looks good once you have some aftermarket wheels and tires like you have.
