Anyone know of Nice round lights for my front bumper? I've been searching all over amazon and have come across many

2. Amazon.com: Nilight® 2 x Black 51w Round Led Light 7" Spot Work Off Road Fog Driving Roof Bar Bumper for SUV Boat 4x4 Jeep Lamp: Automotive

Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't want to break $180 unless I can find used quality branded lights, Such as Ligthforce and any other medium to high end lights. Looking for spot beam, spot flood. I'd like to purchase 4 lights and create the most luminous rig in my town!

Please contact me through my mud account, and reply to this thread!
 
i put a pair (2 total lights) on my ARB bumper hanging upside down over my winch control box. i bought the 7" nilights. for the money, they seem pretty nice. if you buy the cheaper lights, be prepared to build your own wiring harness, switch and relay. i also put in a waterproof connector in the harness so if i have to remove the bumper, i don't have to remove the lights. i bought switches from otrattw.com. i used the hella waterproof relays (put a pair of rear floods on my 4x4labs bumper). i used generic wire from home depot and soldered every connection i could and heat shrieked every connection. it was so nice of Mr. T. to leave a grommet to pass the wires into the cabin.

Years ago I installed some very cheap no name driving lights. I was very impressed with how well they worked for the price. Picked them up for $6 ea here at PrincessAuto (Canada only). They were probably around 5" dia, and used a regular 100W bulb.

Installed my $12.00 driving lights from Princess Auto

I now have LightForce 240 Blitz, and they don't seem to be that much better from what I can recall compared to the cheap ones I had (rock cracked the lens on one). The 240s cast a wider beam for sure, but probably project about the same distance. Also, after installing my 240s on my ARB, my engine coolant temps went up on avg by 10C in the summer. I find the 240s too large and will probably remove them this summer. I'm not really current on LED technology, but I would wonder if an LED type light could really offer the same performance of a true driving light, if that is what you are looking for.
 
Question is:
Do you want brightness in the immediate area or distance?
What that equates to is LED's or HID's.
I suggest HID's in a Euro beam pattern.
 
The one thing to consider is that with smaller LED bars you will still allow adequate air flow to the radiator compared to the large round lights that sit right in front of the grille.

Thanks for the reply I'm still looking around!
 
Mainly distance
4" or 7" HID's will blow away LED's all day long when talking distance. I'd get 2 7" HID's w/eurobeam & 1 ~20" LED w/flood/spot combo beam. You'll be covered from 0' to 1,000'+. Can get all that for ~$180.

Where can I purchase all of this?
 
Just throwing my two cents in here, but ProjectLM has some really good LED spotlights that should perform well at your budget.
