Lightbar lighting options

hey, looking to get the defiant lightbar and I'm trying to figure out which lights to mount. The defiant site says to put in what lights you will be mounting so I'm trying to figure this all out. I was looking at the hella 700ffs or a combination of two 700ffs and two 500ffs.
If I angle the two outer ones towards the shoulder how good would it be for lighting the sides of the road? and of course they would be wired to the highbeam to come off when the highbeams get turned off.
I'd like them mostly for back highway driving at night where the trees are close to the road and there are a lot of moose. So seeing far is a bonus as is seeing wide, but I'm also not looking to fork out a load of money on extra lights. Other than that, woods roads, and some camping, but whatever works for the highway should work for that.

.. Also not a hundred percent sure on how legal it is to use them with the highbeams here in NL.. but a ticket is better than hitting a 800lbs moose while doing a hundred

i was looking into the exact same thing for my runner, i have been looking at hella 500 lights they are very affordable and have been around forever.
those rigid lights look awesome but the pricetag does not

Dont waste your time with halogens.

I went with two 500fs and two 700ffs, mostly because i like the look of two slightly smaller lights on the outside haha
amazon.com only has 5 bucks in price difference on them

now to order the light bar... defiant only ships to the states. I emailed them about it and I emailed baja north, listed on their site as a Canadian distributor. Now to play the waiting game.. :snacker:
 
Also, asked the local RCMP about the legality of it all... spoke to the highway guy and he said they have two on their cars, about the 500 size.. and legally you can have two up to 32 lumens and not placed high. But he also said he sees people using 4 often. So seems like it's a safe go ticket wise. So long as I wire them to my highbeams and I always turn off my highbeams when there's on coming traffic.
