    don't bother with LED on the 2nd gen headlights unless you switch to a projector. the headlights can't focus the beam and you pretty much blind everyone. it will seem like its awesome. I had them for a bit got tired of getting flashed by everyone. Picked up a used set of HID Retrofits on TW and fixed them up. You can add projectors and LEDs as another option which is the new popular method. Its really up to you but LEDS in halogen headlights do not work well.


    Pods or Light bar depends on if its for looks for use and depends on what. I have a combination of both in various formats.

    ARE Z-series shell, ImMrYo mirror lift, always on fog-lights.
    What are you looking to get from the lights? If you are looking for more light on road, check out the thread on here for bright replacement headlights or some of the replacement fogs that I believe RIGID and Baja Designs sell that have the cutoffs you need to use them on road. If you are looking for specifically off road, ditch lights seem to be better suited pointing to the sides to illuminate what is besides you and the light bar will take care of in front of you. That being said if you put the light bar above the windshield you will get glare off of the hood from it.
