Off Road light Set ups
I'm trying to figure out how I want to set myoff road lights up.... how many, what size, what kind, where etc. I know want some on the back and front but that's about it right now. Any pics of your setups would be much appreciated thanks!!

My set up is 8" 135w spotlights on windshield brackets and 6" 100w driving lights on the front bumper. I wanted the spots up high for more reach and they give less glare off the hood than driving lights would in this location. They aim straight. The driving lights on the bumper are aimed a bit to the sides to fill in the sides of the trail. I get a nice spread with this set up.
I have all the lights wired to a relay triggered by the highbeam lead on the headlight, so no extra switches. When I flip my highbeams on all the lights go on with them. I get plenty of light, would never want or need more. The whole set up was less than $500.

Very Nice! This gives me a lot to think about. Have you got lights in the back? I know some people wire them directly in to the reverse lights but I was thinking I would rather have them on a switch so I have the ability to turn them on and off whenever I need em.

I love my set up..... It is just the Duallys on the window and the 10 inch SR Combo on the winch. I also put the Walmart Platinum Burners as rocklights. They work good for a while until you get stuck in the mud. My lights now have a layer of dirt on the inside of the lense. The light still works and gets the job done. I will probably transition to LED's later.

On another note, for anyone looking into mounting the light on the fairlead, normally poison spyder will sell you a package deal for the light and the mount. Basically, they give you a free mount. It was a great deal.
