Off road Light Suggestions
 
Good day all, I was just wondering if anybody has any suggestions for decent Off raod lights.
I do mostly drives up to the cottage and I also volunteer for performance rallies so I run alot of forest access roads so I want more visibility.
I work at a place that sells Warn products so I can get them at a decent price but I haven't found any reviews that would compare them to Hella or KC lights.
If anybody has any suggestions please feel free to post up.
Thank You.

Well, I'm not that "into" this sort of thing, but I once got hold of some aircraft landing lights that fit perfectly in place of the "highs" on my Datsun 1300, which had a four headlight system. That was real neat, but they ran very hot and put out a lot of light as compared to auto sealed beam lamps. Had to be very careful how and when to use them too. Didn't want to offend anyone, so I used them mostly off road.

I have been looking into lightforce lights, they seem to be used by any serious logging truckers in my neck of the woods... and they seem to offer all the best of each worlds, top of the line halogen bulbs, and 35W and 50W HID setups for their lights...

35/50W that's really low. I picked up a pair of VX sealed beams (they call them seal beams) but there actually not. They are aluminum backing with glass lens and you put a bulb into them. The Premium Halogen bulbs I have are HH4 90/100w white. Bright. YES.. We might not be talking about the same system. The pair of lights were $66. and the bulbs $17. pair and fit right into the same socket as the factory seal beam connection.

I just upgraded headlights on my 2010 JKU to the nighthawks... Way better then stock... But I also went with a Delta SkyBar... Just used it for a night drive up to Sudbury from Hamilton... And it was a TREAT!

It's also low profile so still in and out of parking garages... And through brush with little snagging.

I ended up putting in Slyvania ZXE bulbs into my WJ and holy crap did that ever make a difference... I need to sort out something for my fog lights to match up... (but highbeam and lowbeam being seprate bulbs, MAN was it expensive $140 in new bulbs)

i put in Philips Xtreme vision bulbs into my moms JK for her ride back to West Virgina a few weeks ago.. and she couldn't get over how much more they could see...
I have the same bulbs in my MKV Jetta... they are awesome!

HID's run at a much higher voltage, the ballast actually converts it much higher than 12v like our traditional bulbs... the light output of 50W HIDs is intense...
