Default Which Setup is the best???

Which light setup is the best? Hella 55w driving/spot lights on the windshield w/ 55w fogs on the hood or 130w KC spots on the windshield only??? I will not be adding more lights for a long long time and these will be mostly used as off-road/bad weather/no roadside lights, lights lol

I have 2 KC 130w long range sim lights on the windshield and they throw so much light, you will not be disappointed with them. i plan on adding more later but for now its more then enough.

They'd look good. But I'd probably still go with the 130w KCs. After spending a couple thousand on lights over the last few years, I've come to the conclusion that you don't cheap out on these. Buy the best you can afford. Or better yet, save up and buy the best available.
Got ya... Thanks man!

No never fogs on the hood.
The beam pattern on fogs require them to be low to the ground. Putting fogs high on the vehicle will most likely inhibit your ability to see, and most likely blind any driver approaching you.
