Question question about lights.

Who can tell me or can give me and artical about off road lights. I bought some ebay lights that look cool, but they suck. I started looking at big name brand, KC Hella, and there are many different types.

I'm trying to see as far down the trails as I can. The stock lights work great for close up, I just want to see further/more.

08 JKU, KC windsheild light mounts.

Take a look at the rigid industry dually LED lights. They are small but put out a TON of light. Click image for larger version

Don't really care of the LED, they are more $$$ than reg lights. 200+ could buy a new RC stubby.

I have the KC Slimlites on the windshield mounts and I love them. They look great and work great! Good luck!

If you want decent lights that throw far you're going to have to pay for them, the cheap ones are just that CHEAP. I've run Hella 500's 700's, BM's and KC's and to be very honest with you they are all "ok". The Lightforce 170's will put out a great amount of light and throw really far, they're expensive though. I second the Dually's in a "spot" format they're pretty much indestructible and throw light extremely far. They're what I'm beginning to replace my Hella's with because even though they're expensive they're just no comparison to the amount of light they throw and the distance.

Is there two bulbs in each, or do you have 55 in 1 and 100 in the other?
