I don't do a lot of Off roading at night, upgraded my headlights so maybe I don't need them. But... my new bumper that has a hoop, if I keep the hoop on has predrilled spots for aux lights. So kinda feel like I need them. So that being said I don't need a $1000 but don't want a $60 china special throw-away either that is only going to last until i drive it thru a mud puddle.

So any suggestions or favorites and costs? I'm favoring round or triangle style and don't really want a bar.

I'd personally skip the hoop lights (which are easy to steal) and just upgrade your OE fogs to something way better than stock. Diode dynamic SS3 Pros are what I went with, and give me all the off-road/ditch lighting I could want.

If the hoop tabs bother you, cleanly cut em off with a tool and put some black chassis paint on the bare metal, then top coat with a paint that best matches your bumper color.

Thought about that and may just do that. But where I am usually not really worried about theft, that and I mean I'd end up using something like some good lock nuts to at least prevent an opportunist thief. Not that it would stop a determined thief.

Nilight and 4wdking seem to be decent quality with a fairly large selection and reasonable prices. If you are a Amazon Prime member, they usually all include free shipping. Auxbeam is another one to look at. If you want higher quality, there are several brands, like KC Hilites, but you pay more for it.
