i don't know how strong they are but you could try snow pow lights. then you have turn signals too... Or try a truck stop and see what they have for big rigs.

Mine are Meyer Night Sabre Plow Lights. They are a little pricey, but if you go to their site they show you that they out-perform most other plow lights 2 to 1 (and they do). And that is before you upgrade them to HID (which the lens optics are already designed for).

Bill and I run Kragen 7" HIDs. They are also made in a 4" if you want something smaller. They are waterproof and made of high impact plastic. They are around a 100 bucks each however the cheapest HID avalable. You can also buy HID conversion kits fairly cheap to replace the Halogen bulbs in your buckets. My opion HIDs are the best light out there and light up the sky compared to your typical halogen.

just my 2 cents here but i took 2 kc housings and put round sealed beams in them from an old car buy the hi/low ones and hook them both up, it puts out a pretty large pattern and i have been running the same ones since 04 and on my second housing from being destroyed goin under a buggy i was pushing and they are cheap

Go to wal Mart. 20$ and get a pair of small round fog lights. They are really bright. Can't be too rough they are plastic but haven't broke one yet.

Jeff you said good and bright. The HID's Ody is referring to are real nice, lets just say whoever is in front of you won't like you very long there so bright. :idea: The 4" HID's will be on my car.
