    Installed an Avid Off-road light bar. Love it. Have two mounts for accessory lights. Not sure what to go with. Thinking small spots rather than floods (looking at small 3x3 square spots in the classifieds). Don't really do a lot of off roading. YEARS ago when I installed yellow "fog" lights on a vehicle, the wiring was much simpler. Where/which circuit are folks tying into for accessory lighting? Also, I seem to remember that accessory lights had to be covered to pass inspection many moons ago in NJ. Is this still generally the case?

    A lot!
    You might check state law as I know they ARE NOT legal to be used "on road" in Washington. So, if you do a lot of off-roading why did you buy them? I've had a few coming at me on the road. Worst light for oncoming traffic I have ever encountered. They should be outlawed until someone can figure out how to direct the light source better.

    Wasn't looking to use them on road at all. EVERY now and then, I'll be on an off road trail to a cabin, on the beach, etc OR the only vehicle on a "country road" in the pitch black. Thought they might be useful in these situations... besides having the vacant mounts for them now
