Do some research on the lights to see what you would prefer. Google them (thats where I started) and you'll find a lot of good info about the differences in the beam spread and good uses for each

I had a heck of a time finding those Smittybilts, they're not even listed on thier website. Northridge and QTec don't even sell them.

At the end of page one I posted about painting the outside edge with some flat black and you can't tell that they are even on except for all of the extra light in front of you absolutely no side glare

Hella 500s with 100wat bulbs, they are inexpensive and work great.

X2 on the Hella 500s. I have two pair of their driving lights and am very happy with them. I don't know of another brand of light that is a better value.

Decided on driving lights over spot lights due to the beam spread difference. 26* is much better for what I was looking to achieve. I'll add 2 more driving lights and 1 spot light (6* spread) on the front LoD Stinger bumper when I get that far. Probably mount the spot light inverted at the front of the stinger hoop and the 2 driving lights on the bumper in front of the winch.
