Looking to buy some offroad lights. What to get?

Hey guys,

I would like to get some lamps to mount on my bumper. I want something bright but I don't want to re mortgage my house. Well actually I don't own a house or have a mortgage, so I don't want to have to get a mortgage to buy lights.

What do you guys suggest? I'm thinking $200 max

This is the way to go...cheap, bright, & last forever! Had them on several vehicles.
Our local mom & pop parts store sells them as ag implement lights (~$25). They come with the flood bulb & then you can buy the Wagner spot light bulb to replace it (~$15). Last time the local store was out so I ordered online, just Google Wagner 4509. I keep the floods in for when using on rear.

Yes please post some pics. How was it to wire in? Did you splice in to existing wiring or do they just plug in?
