going for cheap off road lights but modding them a bit , help

[bak3rme]

i was planning on buying some cheap 6'' round off road lights from pepboys or autozone. they also have a nice pair from harbor freight tools with grille shaped covers too.

i want ideas where to mount them. i have a 99' sr5 with a brush guard, i was wanting to mount them in front of my top grille, or if not on the bottom where the licesnse plate goes. do you guys have pics or anything of 3rd gens with lights in either or places.

i was also goign to change the bulbs in these things to make them brighter. buy some higher ww bulbs . but which should i go up to?

i ran them sqaure blazer driving lights with 100w bulbs and they worked pretty good and where like 20 dollars ... now i would not use those with the low beams but rather have the high beam trigger a relay .... your gonna need atleast 12-14ga wire from the relay to the lights and 16ga is fine for the switch

run the green wire to the high beam wire

thanks, i've heard of ppl saying run them as low beam instead of high beams..i dont really understand this, can u clarify? does that mean..dont run them all the time when the sun is down (like ur regular beams) but rather use them only when u need them (such as high beams) and whats a "high beam trigger relay" does that mean it has a switch to turn on and off?

with 100w bulbs there fairly bright and would be very annoying with your low beams what i ment by the high beam wire is useing the high beam wire from the headlight connector to turn the relay on and off
