Post pic of your auxiliary lights!

[Mirrajumper]

looking for advice on installing auxiliary lights. Flanking the winch, mounting on the middle hoop hanging down or adding light bar on top. Please post up pictures of your truck with lights!

There are dozens of options these days. I normally sell/install Baja or Rigids depending on shape desired.

The answer depends on where and how far you want light.

 

[Mirrajumper]

Ideally, a single pair of round lights. Any improvement over the hella main lights will be good.

I’d suggest mounting on the bumper over roof mount. (2) LP series from Baja Designs

I personally just put in the upgraded drop in lights that EE sold. Adding lights to a vehicle was always a lot of effort for minimal use in my experience.

Dont see many Rockware bumpers toting around a Husky, very cool! Ill second above, upgrade the sealed beams with H4's and a relay harness.

I use hella euro beam headlights with 100/130w bulbs. Eliminates any need to supplement forward facing lights. I do recommend added rear facing work lights.

I ran Hella 4000s with high output bulbs. The drew alot off the my High Output Alt and still didnt put out the same light as a nice set of LEDS.

To me, light choice depends on the bumper.

Two Hella 500 or 550s hanging from the hoop and/or upgrade headlights to Holley RetroBright warm white LED H4. Lightbars are for Jeeps, and Dave.

I was always told the rule with lighting is "wide and high".

So mount as far apart as possible (unlike the SIIa headlights) and as high as possible - ie light bar across the roof or 2 large spots on the upper corners.

Unless this is just for looks.

Not accurate advice as where you mount depends on what you mount and how you use them.

Wide beam stuff low and forward to the periphery, spots to the center and high for off-road use, but lower is always better to fight reflection...

I’ve changed a lot of things since this photo was taken (no longer have the brush guard on the rig) but I absolutely adored my Rallye 4000 Euro Beams. Perfect Road and trail lighting and they’re just beautiful. They can be mounted upside down on your hoop.

Rigid mounted on Rockware to supplement high beams on rural county roads and FM roads.
No-name light, around $200, up top is flood. Works great as a work light while stationary, but too much reflection for driving.

I once had every single vehicle outfitted with aux. lighting before the era of bi-xenon and LED factory lights - with my favorite lamp being the PIAA 80 Pro XT driving light. Compact, with a base that was at the back of the lamp (as opposed to a Hella 4000, which requires a lot of depth since the base mounts at the front). They are NLA, but if you can find a set, grab them.

Having said that, my most recent experience with aux lighting came from the installation of a Rugged Ridge LED light bar. They make a wide range of quality (light quantity?) lamps in varying sizes. Mine was flat and expensive, for sure ($600+), but provided enough light to see directly ahead and 15 degrees off to the side for literally miles... low draw, too. As I don't run older Land Rovers in the winter (Vermont salt), mine are all now bare front - rarely am out out past dusk in the summer months to justify. I liked how low profile it was on the front end of my Tacoma.

These are 7" Auxbeams LED. They are also same ones in my avatar.
