Hello CPFers,
I'm searching for auxiliary offroad driving lights to add to my pathetically weak stock halogens. The primary use will be for driving forestry roads, up to 30mph. I think what would work best is a spot type beam. I'm trying to narrow it down and having a bit of a difficult time. I initially tried ARB knock off lights (amazon) but at 9lb each they are quite heavy for my mounting location.
So far I looked at the top end (at least price wise):
mid/low end:
There's too much choice! I'm having trouble comparing all of the different units as well. For example here's the rigid r-46 spot, at $300/piece it's half? the brightness of the above ARB knockoff. Here's a baja designs one, and it's $400 for the same apparent lumen value.
Alternatively, there's also this cheap HID option. and this 7" auxbeam LED that is a little lighter.
To summarize my list of requirements:
Thank you in advance!

To summarize my list of requirements:
- medium quality lights. Approx. budget $200
- driving spots for off road driving only
- no more than 2lb a piece
- 7" or so?
Thank you in advance!
