Which Lights Should I Purchase For The Bull Bar

I just installed the Steelcraft Bull Bar and now looking to purchasing some lights. I was wondering which lights I should get. I know that I would like to get PIAA lights, but I was wondering whether I should get the fog lights or the driving lights based on the location of the bull bar. The lights will be installed in the middle bar, almost level with the current fog lights.

Did you have any of the difficulties with the install like here?:

I'm thinking about getting the same bullbar. I have an 06, so same style as yours and was thinking 2 small round lights would look good.

JAC's looks really good with the rect. lights and same bullbar, but she has the rect. fog lights (scroll down to bottom):

Yours looks great BTW. Would love to see a couple of more pics from different angles because mine is Galactic grey as well (I think that's what colour yours is).

Luckily I did not have the same issue as above, but I did have my worries. The steelcraft that I ordered for my 4Runner was labeled 2005 -2006 and fit extremely well when installed.

Yup my 4Runner is galactic grey, let me get the camera out and will post some more pics.

Hey....congrats......it looks...SWEET!.....
 
Maybe it an issue with 2007+ since that's what jediwedude has. That's a relief, I'm ordering it ASAP! Did you get it from autoanything.com and could I trouble you for the part #?

Driving for the longer range, since fogs project a wide and close range beam pattern which the OEM fogs already do. How good the OEM fogs are is debatable.

Now that you mentioned that...I remember mine said the same...that it was for 2005-2006..and I remember I got worried about the fitment for my 04....so yes.... I believe there is an issue with the 07+

I suggest you get the round ones to match your OEM foglights.

:iagree:

JFYI ...If you are ordering from Autoanything remember to call them before you pay to check availability. I had to wait over a month to get mine but they had it listed when I made the purchase as available and actualy it was backordered.

+1, I was about to order a Westin from them, showed available but after JAC's advice I called to make sure, and they were back ordered for over 2 months.

Thanks for all the great feedback, and also a special thanks to JAC for the help out via emails and also jediwebdude for the great write up plus photos

Yeah I ordered it from autoanything and like JAC and ARK SWAMP RIDER said, definatly call them, I waitied for 2 months as well before it came, but well worth the wait, the best bull bar I have ever seen,

The web link for the bull bar is SteelCraft Bull Bar, SteelCraft Truck Bull Bars.

Had the same problem with them when i initially ordered the gibson exhaust. I ordered it in december of 08 and by feb of 09 i was tired of waiting and getting the run around for answers so i cancelled the order. It was disappointing because i had dealt with them in the past and was very happy with the orders i placed. I no longer shop with them because i lost all trust in their ordering practices.

Yeah....that was the first and last time for me with them. They could have the best offer in the world.....I had promessed to myself never to buy from them again.
 
Anything from Lightforce (if you don't mind spending a bit extra, they are not cheap) Just google some of the videos of the torcher tests they put the lights through ;) You'll be impressed.
 
I'm going to be ordering the steelcraft as well, and want to put some lights on it. I'm thinking about 4" round to match the fogs. What do poeple think of something like this:

(that is not my truck, but the OP's)

Do they seem too small? Also, can anyone recommend some 4" round off road lights that are relatively cheap? The only ones I could find are these:

Hella Optilux 2500 Angel Eye Lights

and the seem a little too "bling" for my tastes.

Why do u want them for?...do you really need them or is just for looks?..ar e you gonna use them for Off road purp... or just as driving lights?...thats determines the price...In my case I got my Cheap ones mainly for looks and to help out a little at night with the projectors which light out put kinda sucks!...LOL...so the cheap one s I got are really doing the job at night.

For this MOD it's more for the look for me. I don't see myself spending $200+ (that's as much as the BULLBAR!), I'd like to keep it under $100. I am leaning towards 4" because I think they'll match the OEM fogs better, but they look a bit small here:

but that could have more to do with the brushbar
