Curious as to what lights everyone is using for there light bars.I have the whiterhino light bar so im looking to mount two 6" lights on it.I would rather some personal input as opposed to reading the same ads over and over. There the best,brightest.. etc... If you have pictures of the output that would be awesome.

I bought "replicas" of the Hella Rally-e 3000 with xenon bulbs. I compared it to a friends rallye lights, and they look just the same and have the same light. More to it the replicas has plastic and not glass, makes it more durable to stones and other hard objects that in winter time hits your car. The price was at giveaway point, 130 usd for the two lamps with xenon bulb and kit. Recomended. The only down side is that when the lights have been off for around 10min og mor, they take around 20sec to reach full strenght. The iluminator (which costs 10 times more) does it in 10! I guess a 2.5kvm wire would reduce the time by 5 sec, and a better and more expensive ballast would reduce it even more, but it aint that annoying as for normal on off use with meeting ars it works as a charm!

Sim is the name of them I took the ring off and sanded it down, coated it with matte black. They look real good!

I'm pretty certain that if I go with HID offroad lights, I'll get the 6" Eagle Eye lights: http://www.rdmoffroad.com/eagle-eye-2.aspx

No personal experience, but if you google something like "eagle eye offroad light review," you'll come across a number of different 4x4 forums where people have tested & posted pictures of these. Reading through all the posts convinced me.

I was trying to stay away from HID's but from what ive seen the light output is absolutely amazing. I may get the Hella 500FF's and convert them to HIDs later down the road. From searching around google brought me to a tacoma forum with pics.That convinced me.

I ended up using a pair of Hella 500ff's. I got the lightbar painted and lights mounted. I should be installing them tuesday when im off from work. They seem pretty bright when.I hooked them up to a spare battery. If they don't cut it I will install a set.of hids in them.

I got it from here:http://store.whiterhinofab.com/nflb.htm
Its meant for the frontiers but i gave it a shot and ordered it. I was told if it doesnt fit i can return it minus shipping so i said why not give it a try. I did a rough mock up and it looks like it should fit exactly like it would the frontier. bolting to the same spots. Im going to install it tuesday and see what happens but Im pretty confident it will fit without a problem.

I ended up with the Hella 500ff's. I like them alot. the beam pattern is what i want. My only gripe is there not waterproof. i was assuming they were. Did some wheeling tonite and ended up going through a puddle that completely submerged the front end. Came out of it and my buddy noticed I had a puddle of water in them. Guess i will either try and make them air tight or buy another set thats completely waterproof.
