Aux light idea

[LR Max]

To your original answer, yes, you can rig up the lights so they turn on when you hit the high beams. To add to that, I've seen one shop that added an extra switch to allow for you to do this. I think this would be the best way to go.

As for the best aux lighting, LED light bars are THE BEST. Blow away everything else, including the price . Superior light, compact, durable and low amperage requirements. Of course I've bought Honda's for less than what they are asking for a decent light bar so you get what you pay for. LED light bars are the standard now for Baja and KOH rigs, it seems like.

I run a pair of Hella FF300 "cat eyes". Decent light, nothing earth shattering but considering I've only needed them 3 evenings and one early morning this year, they work just fine. If I was using them everyday, then I might consider either a stock headlight upgrade or upgrading these.

Check out www.rigidindustries.com they make some really rugged and nice LED lights. I have a pair of the 2x2 spots I run on a motorcycle. 15 watt draw per light, fantastic output, easy wiring.

Ordered the ipf lights and bulbs this morning. Will report back on the results.

Installed yesterday. Night becomes day. Seriously.

These are nice lights, really bright, with a great cut off. I am very pleased.

Fyi, I run a sms wiring harness/ relay system and have a lucas alternator. (the delco 10si upgrade is the next project.

Thanks for all the advice!!

Since this is my thread, and I seem to think about lighting every year at this time, can anyone post a close-up picture of aux lights mounted to the bumper? Any hints on wiring routing?

The IPF lights are still great, I just want more light for these long dark morning commutes. I'm thinking about the Hella 4000 Euro Beam Driving lights.
