What are some lights I can buy to put on my roof rack. I want to mount 4 lights on, I don't want to spend to much money but something that is somewhat decent.

Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

Here is the best picture I have right now of mine:

I bought these at O'Reilly auto parts. The are not "spots" more like a regular head light but they work great. The 2 Hella's on the front bumper are spots. We went night wheeking 2 weeks ago for the first time with this setup and loved it!
(They are called Baja's)

I think mine are Blazer's also. I looked at the WM lights also. I went cheap w/ mine but keep in mind you get what you pay for. I haven't ripped them off on a limb and they still work good. Go for it for the $$$.

Do you have any pictures you can post so I can get an idea?

The pic in post #2 is the best shot I have of them right now. Not very close or much detail.

I am looking at picking up a set of Hella 500ff's which you can get in either a fog or a driving light.. I'm going to be putting the fogs on the bumper I hope to get in the next couple of weeks.. I got to ride in a lifted WJ and do some offroading when I was down in Charleston, SC a few months back.. and he had a set of these lights, and they were great.. Not to mention the price for them is great.. You can pick up a set for roughly $67-69 from Autozone, as well as a few other places..

Hella is the way I'm going. I've had Cibie lights and Hella's before and I have a buddy with KC lights. Really it's how much do you have to spend and are you going for permanent set up or trial setup. I know the light patterns of the big three. I have no clue how the light pattern is on the rest but that is really what matters along with longevity when your buying lights.

PIAA's are good too. I have some KC's but they look funny up there so I put them on the bumper.

Yes they are. I use PIAA lights on my bike.

Careful mounting them too far forward that they don't put a blinding "glare' off the hood. A simple aluminum deflector bolted under the lights sticking forward can deflect that if need be!
