I was considering these. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2003762/c-10101/Nty-1/p-2003762/Ntx-mode+matchallpartial/N-10101/tf-Browse/s-10101/Ntk-AllTextSearchGroup?Ntt=off+road+lights
Are these the same as the ones you have GEARED?
Thanks

for cheap and bright go to your NAPA or similar store. buy a couple of those rubber housing flood lights.ÂÂ
then have them order you a couple of the 100 watt spot/airplane landing lights that go right into the same housings.ÂÂ
flood lights are about $10 each, and the 100 watt bulbs are about $10 apice. cheap, lots of light, rugged. hard to beat for the money.ÂÂ
just my $0.02

strvger do you have this setup on your rig? Did you then wire them into the dash with a toggle switch? I might look into that option.

yes, but don't forget to put a fuse in there and you may want a relay, but i never used one. works fine and really takes all the bumps and vibrations very well.

I run the ProComp 130's on my kick. 4wheelparts.com sells a kit with 2 lights, wiring and covers for 76.99. Go to this link:
http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/products/productLine.asp?cat=LIG&prodline=323&catName=Lighting&man=EXPLORER
then scroll down to:
Driving Light Kit, 130 Watt, Black (Includes 2 Lights, Switch Kit & Covers)
ADD9131K
Makes high beams look like candles. Here they are on my kick

I would recommend getting a light bar. It will look better and should also work better!

something to keep in mind...
if you're wheelin' the desert and/or wide open spaces, long range spots are the best. going fast you need the long range of these.
if you're wheelin' thick forest trails, rocks, or muddin', then you need more light up close to where you are. goin' slow in these situations, you need to see up close and as much as possible to each side as well. this is when you need either flood or trapezoidal lights.
try mounting the up-close floods/trapezoidal lights at grille level so you see all the near obstacles, and the long-range lights higher up to get the view way out in front when your cruisin' fast and loose.

Any pics of this set up? Or any "Parts numbers" for what you are talking about?
Thanks,

these are just the "farm tractor/implement" rubber housing flood lights. about $10 apiece at most auto parts places, Menards, Home Depot, Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, etc. no big deal finding them really. then, at your nearsest car/truck supplier, have them order up the 100 watt spots for them. i could be wrong, but i belileve they are called the PAR 36 (?) size lamps. about 4 3/4 inch diameter i believe. just pop out the old sealed sealed beam flood and pop in the new spot. these lights are found all over. not a big deal.
-
Did the NAPA ones B-4. They Suck. really.
35watt flood Too yellow.
55 watt spot is still too yellow and not cheap.
Pro-Comps are thin enough to put anywhere and bright and clear.
Spots (driving) are top and middle -dang near pencil beam
Fog (floods) are low and outside.- Wide and short
Figure since I won't be outdriving my lights.
took off the driving lights and just left Fog.
-
Try a set of Silver-Star headlights too, best
headlight I have ever had, and brighter than
a 55w spot light I have.

IPF 968s are highly recommended for value/durability and they come with two sets of bulbs (55 and 100), and a wiring harness. About 100 on ebay.
-
for NAPA, you have to order the 100 watt spots, also listed as "aricraft landing lights". very birght, not yellow, works well. you just need to order the right lamps. i think both GE and Wagner are manufacturers of the landing lights. and i paid about $10 each plus tax.
