Default Yup an other off road light one

I'm planning on adding off road light at the windshield level probably using the smittybilt bracket type. Should I go driving light or long range ?

Is long range will cover correctly with only 2 lights or I will end up with 2 small light zone pass my JK head light ?

Is driving light will really be noticeable while I use the IPF H4 high and factory fog ?

also please include brand / model in your answer

Thanks

Im running the Hella 500 driving lights on the MBRP brackets ... they are just past the low beams and are perfect ... unless you are out in the desert at night i feel the long range beams arent worth it ... leave those for the top bar if you mount that

Im running the Lightforce 140's on the KC brackets and I love them! With the Lightforce lights you can dial in the beam to your liking. I love the clear shields they come with and they are just are bulletproof!


Got the setup including the security bolts from Northridge4x4

The Lightforce will focus just like a Mag light. You know how the light pattern looks when a mag light is spread out on it's widest pattern, big dark spot in the middle, but the light output when the beam is narrowed is fantastic.
I run the 170's on the wind shield with both the crystal blue and the yellow filtered combo lenses. Love them!

I run KC daylighters with a Hella E-Code H4 conversion. The daylighters basically triple the brightness at the very end of the H4 high beam. They are spot lights and help illuminate a a few 20 or so feet ahead of the Hella E-Codes.
