I need more light!

[jhawk42]

Hi all, Pretty new guy around the forum here, going to definitely make sure i post pics of my 2001 SR5 when i get it all worked up. But my question is a relatively simple one...
In shopping around for the different options I have for adding more light to my ride i have upgraded all the headlight bulbs to PIAA 4100K bright whites and they are nice. So nice in fact that im on a quest to get a couple (or 4) 520 series lights on my ride somewhere... I just purchased a Mule rack from the people at Bajarack and i love it. However the biggest expense in adding lights to this rack isnt the new light bar that you can pick up from bajarack, but the particular kind of PIAA light that they sell.
My question is am i going to be more successful buying a "kit" like this one PIAA Off Road Lights, PIAA 520 SMR Series Driving Light Kit or is there somewhere i havent found yet where i can buy the individual lights for cheaper? (Im gonna end up needing to pay someone else to perform the installation if the lights go up on the Mule lightbar).

thanks for the help in advance, i really enjoying reading this forum and finding new ways to spend my money

You can really go either way, I just installed a set of lights on my front bumper and it wasn't too bad, just a little time consuming. I bought the lights from low-range off-road, just individually. The thing I found, when you buy just the lights you still need to get a switch, a relay (highly recommended), and extra wiring to run everything, I also fused mine. The kits usually supply most of these things already, in the end though buying everything seperatly might save a few dollars, but finding them all may be a challenge.

okay i got it now. that makes a lot of sense, of course.


...might have been a stupid question now that i think about it.

If you're looking to save real money Craig's List & ebay usually have used off-road lights for sale. I picked up three Bosh & two Opta lamps all for under $100...
