55 watts should be great. I had a pencil beam and a broad beam set of
Super Oscars
on my last CJ. That combo was excellent. Broad (high) beams tend to light
up the moisture in the air, making you see all of it as a wall in front of
you.
A low mounted cutting beam is nice to get reflection close off the road if
your travel condtions are rain and snow.
I'm considering mounting a bar under the windshield with a row of 6 low
profile 55 watters, switched to operate separately.
That'll look jet set :)

Real jet set until you turn them on. When I bought my CJ it had a real
cool(not) light bar on the top of the windshield frame with 4 KC offroad
lights.
The first time I went night wheeling, I turned them on and was instantly
blinded when the lights reflected off the hood. I'd never mount any aux
light aft of the front bumper unless it was on the back bumper for backing
purposes.

In spite of my recommendation to do a bumper mount, my customer had me
install a set of KCs on the windshield brackets today. At least all the
bolts came out ok. I'll bet I get paid again to move them in a short time.
