Default Roof lightbar and lights

guys, I'm planning on getting a roof lightbar for the JK and I'm wondering if I put driving lights on it will the lighting be good? I'm doing it more for the look because I'm not anticipating on going wheeling at night... Thanks!

Usually, you want to mix them up to get a full, useful spread. Spotlights in the middle pointed straight down the trail for maximum lighting distance, and flood lights on the ends angled to the sides to cover your full range of vision. . . . But if it all just for looks, you can put anything you want up there really then. Driving lights would work fine, but not the best choice

X2 on what he said. I got two windshield brackets and $17.99 lights from HF. comes with everything you need and dirt cheap. They are very bright too. You also can upgrade the bulbs if you like

Depending on what kind of budget you have, you can get the Rigid 50" Lightbar witht he Poison Spider Customs mount. It has the spots in the middle and the floods on the outside, as was suggested. Plus it looks pretty awesome.
