If youre looking for cheap then you cant beat $12 from harbor freight. Theyre not the brightest lights out there but I like the way they look and the 4 I have on my truck make a noticeable difference.

today at work my boss bought an old telivsion casting van with the spot lights on top that they use for the night shots and all, theyre are 5 of them i plan on mounting for in the front but they are just spotlights do yall think they would put out good light we tested them but it was day time, and hard to tell, and they are just rectangular shape and black so not the prettiest but they are free and my bar that they will be mounted on is getting powdercoated so should i go with those harbour frieght ones cause they look good or what??

I have a feeling if it was an old TV van those things put out some serious light, since they're free mount em up and see what the look like!

If you want to mount lights behind your grill, your going to need a thin light, the most common is the Hella 500 or 500FF. A kit (2 - 6" lights, stone covers, wiring, and switch) cost about $80 retail. HOWEVER! I urge you to contact PTCFact here on the forums, he sells brand new hella products at amazing prices and is great to deal with. I got my hella 500FF kit from him for around $40 shipped, brand new. He has many other hella lights to usually, just message him.
