Light suggestions

Alright guys, so I am looking for some auxillary lights mostly for off road use but also for rare night driving on back roads and what not. I've narrowed it down to:

KC Daylighter 130w Driving Beams
IPF 968's with 100w bulbs
or an Apocalyptic Lighting LED Bar

I'm not sure what size LED bar I will need or if it will even fit on my application so that one is pretty iffy even though that is the one that I would rather get. So if that doesn't work out do you guys have any suggestions on which lights I should go with or any other ones that I should look into? I'm trying not to spend over $200.

Hunter bull bar and eBay 20 inch combo...bar was like $130...took about 2 hrs total
 
Best bang for your buck I've ever found are these guys right here:

Amazon.com: TaoTronics® Brand DC 12V 24V 27W LED Flood Work LAMP Off Road Floodlight 4x4 -Jeep Cabin/Boat/SUV/Truck/Car/ATVs Fishing Deck Driving Light 2150 Lumen 10V-30V Waterproof: Automotive

Super bright, waterproof, i've smashed the heck out of them and they keep on ticking. And at 2150 lumens apiece they are no joke when you get a group of them on at once. They are a pretty good size too. For size reference, here are some on the front of my 40.

LED Light Bars have come way down in price. Here's a quick search I did on Amazon...

Off Road Light Bars

I have a double row on my 4Runner, and it's like daylight at night when they are on. Well worth the cost!

I purchased these on Amazon around Christmas.
Amazon.com: OC Gizmo LED Work Light Lamp Off Road High Power ATV Jeep 4x4 Tractor 27W Round 30 Degree Round Spot Light: Home Improvement
Very bright. Can't speak to the longevity, but they have great reviews. Similar to yours, and same price.

EDIT: they look exactly the same...probably are.
 
500's

I have the Hella 500's on mine they look pretty sweet, and give tons of light off. And aren't so expensive

The LEDs are the best way to go. If you are just looking for some nice light for that once in awhile night run. I use a 13" bar and a set of pods. The pods alone do a great job and cost only like $80. I don't even use the head lights off road at night Do a Craigslist search for LED light bars you will be amazed how many show up. Here's a pic of mine.

Well, I did quite a bit more research into the LED bars and stuff and I found one that I really liked for not much more than I would have spent on a set of Daylighters or anything else! It is from Olympus Offroad, which is a local place in Denver. They didn't have many reviews that I could find, but the ones that I did find were all very good! It is a 17" single row of their Pro Series that seems to be just as good as Rigid's but only cost about $200!

Heres a link to the one that I bought:
100W Pro 17" Single Row
 
Man I got a lot to learn

I just got here and thought the halogens on the front bar looked good. LED technology looks sweet

I have KC Daylighters on mine but will be switching to LED pods soon.
