I'm close to finishing up my True North Fabrication bumper and it's got 4 spots for lights - two 4" holes and two 2.5" holes.
Here's an image of a completed bumper (not my truck). I'm looking for lights to fill the larger holes that he has what looks like amber fogs:
My use is going to be primarily on dark highways when there is no other traffic around, backroads in Vermont, and occasional night time offroad. For all of that I would prefer a wider spot pattern like 30 degree or blended spot/flood pattern.
I will most likely put smaller flood lights into the 2.5" holes though, so I'm cool with the larger lights being more dedicated spot duty.
The decision basically boils down to paying more money for name brand, lower spec product with KC LZR lights at ~$260/pair or cheaper alternatives that have higher specs at $130-$200/pair. Money is not a huge concern, but I'd consider the KC LZR being the max I would want to pay for these.
Here are the KC LZR, basically the default choice.
Here is the Westin Odyssey SP. I'd never heard of them and don't know much about the company, but found them through searching around. Seem to be spec'd high.
Here is Superbrightled's, I guess house brand. Don't know anything about them other than they spec really well.
Here is the darkhorse - ADVMonster. They're pretty well known in the adventure bike community and I have one of their floodlights on my bike.
If they made them in a larger size I would order without hesitation, but in the smaller size they won't fill the 4" opening. They do spec very well, and I emailed the owner, apparently this light uses a new and very advanced LED model that is highly efficient vs. the KC LZR LED that is 8 years old.

Really interested to hear your thoughts and if there are others on the market that would fit my use case that you guys would recommend in the sub $250/pair range.
