Wasn't sure where to put this, but I'm looking to buy some lights for my blazer. I have a brush guard on the front that I plan on mounting two light on, but not sure which ones to get. My Blazer is a 96 and the headlights suck so I want to put a light on that I can have on all the time while driving at night. So does anybody have any recommendations as far as brand/watts. Also I prefer the circular lights over the square.

I also plan to mount 4 lights on the top of my blazer for off road use. So again any recommendations on a VERY bright and powerful light? And if you have any pics of how you mounted them up top that would be great. Thanks

I just bought some Pilot truck lights. They are only 40 bucks and they are pretty bright for the price. I paired them with some silvania silverstar bulbs and they light up the road really nice. I also plan on some of the same truck lights on the roof rack. How are you going to mount them? I have seen magnet mounts, but have no idea where to get them. Check out some pics of my lights by clicking my cardomain link in my sig.

Was thinking about mounting them to the roof rack since I never use it, but haven't actually looked at everything to see if it will work.
Also if I mount 2 on the brush guard, 4 on the roof will I need to upgrade my battery and alternator?

I dont think it extracts that much power as to change your alternator, maybe a better battery will help.

I've always wondered how those lights would look and preform. Post back as I may have to make a few changes myself.
