I'm trying to figure out my lighting set up so this is what I have and tell me what you think or what I should change. I'd like to stay low cost but with decent quality. Whats the difference between 100w and 50w? *Here it goes*

-----Windshield lights $35 kc *Mount ** KC HiLiTES 7316 - KC HiLiTES Windshield Light Mount Brackets in Black for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

Kc *100w Apollo long range (or driving?) $117

KC HiLiTES 150 - KC HiLites 6" Apollo Pro Series 100 Watt Long Range Lamp System with Stone Guards in Black - Quadratec

------bumper lights Kc Apollo 100w driving or fog $117 KC HiLiTES 151 - KC HiLites 6" Apollo Pro Series 100 Watt Driving Lamp System with Stone Guards in Black - Quadratec

Fog KC HiLiTES 152 - KC HiLites 6" Apollo Pro Series 100 Watt Fog Lamp System with Stone Guards in Black - Quadratec I see they do the driving in 55w and 100w

-------switches Day star rockers $13 Daystar KU80011 - Daystar Rocker Switch - Quadratec Day star lower dash switch panel $20 Daystar KJ71034BK - Daystar Lower Dash Switch Panel for 11-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK with Automatic Transmission - Quadratec Or A-pillar switch panel for a lot more $80 Rugged Ridge 17235.96 - Rugged Ridge Driver Side A-Pillar Switch Pod Kit for 11-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

I'm open to honest options here

 

You have chosen well. This is almost exactly the same arrangement that I currently have. I chose the Daylighters.

The difference between 55w and 100w is ( 45w ). 100w are a lot brighter. Use this schemattic to wire in those DL's. Tie the extra relay into the High Beam Circuit.

 

Should I go with the driving lights or long range on the windshield. I already got the mounts in.

They will be used on off road trails that have lots of turns so the long range really isn't needed there, but they will also be used on gravel strait county road (no traffic). So will the long range not light up everything I need it to light up when I'm on the trails?

 

I like the long range on windshield better and driving lights down lower like I the bumper

 

I have the rugged ridge A-pillar mounted switch pod. It was $71 at 4wheelparts. I think it's nice, really easy to install. once you add up 4 switches and the panel, they're pretty equal price wise.



here's a picture of it. Where the bottom switch would go, I have the stock PIAA mouse button.

 

Pretty equal on price compared to what?

 

the daystar panel with 4 switches vs the rugged ridge kit.

 

So the rugged ridge kit comes with switches? I'm not understanding this. One is $20 and one is $70 but both will still need switches

 

the rugged ridge a-pillar pod is available as a kit with 4 switches for around $70. So, it's really just a matter of preference.
