Just wondering what eveybody thinks is the best off road light?? I like the warns but they are spendy, also like the hella 3000s. What do guys prefer for your lights??

'Best' off road light I think is a matter of opinion. To me, getting excellent light output for a reasonable price is the key - I run 130 watt Dick Cepek 9" round lights and am very happy with them. Found a local guy that has the 165 watt Daylighter sealed beams for a good price so I'm going to add a pair of them this week. I've also had Pro Comp 130 watt lights and loved them too. Only thing that I can't understand is the PIAA $200+ lights for the same basic output versus less than $100, but guess I shouldn't talk, I'm a guy that spent $800 on seats.

Cheap ones, you're gonna bash them into stuff anyways. I like the flood lights with the flexible rubber housing for $10 each! I've got these: from www.trucklite.com

I'm running 4 Hella 4000s (2 Euro Beams and 2 Pencil Beams). I love 'em. However, if I were to do it over again I would've gotten the floods instead of the euro beams. The Hella's have a die-cast zinc metal housing, built in adjustment knobs and plastic, vented covers that I have tried and failed on numerous occasions to burn.
It depends on how much you want to spend. Do you have $600 for one HID? If I had the money to blow $600 on one light, I would!

If it breaks, it wasn't good enough!
 
I have a pair of KC Daylighter on the front bumper. Not too bad but I have too keep tightening the up because they loose up after bouncing around a lot. Maybe I am just not tightening them down enough, or maybe I will add some locktight next time.

I am running theLightForce 6" or whatever size they are, not the biggest ones but the next to it. I think they are great! Reasonable price too. They are 100% plastic but the plastic is said to be hella strong. They stay inplace very well and i don't have to keep readjusting them. VERY bright too. I wasn't about to spend 380 bucks for Warn lights so I whent with LightForce and so far I'm loven um!! here is a pic

Iv got 2 8" 130 watt Pro Comps,think I paid $50 each for,and 2 6" 90 watt Wal Mart KC wanna bees,think I paid $40 for those.There are better lights out there but I couldnt see spending too much money for something that has a good possibility of gettin messed up.
