Default Aftermarket lights

I'm curious to know what is everyone's opinion on aftermarket lights?
Which brand would you recommend buying? Which is the best?
Which brands do you have on your rig?

My vote is PIAA....but the only other lights I've ever had were Hella....so I'm no expert!

Talk amongst yourselves....

I had PIAAs on an old vehicle. Expensive as hell. And I wasn't all that impressed.

Lightforce are the best out there. All the Baja racer run them and they are tough.

Kinda partial to my KC's. I've run PIAA, Hella, ProComp as well. 23 year bulb warranty. Rust... send um back for new ones. It's all about the customer service. Currently running 4 - 69's(roof) and 6 - 6" offroad (Bumper and Windshield) 4 - 69's will light a couple of football fields.

I'm running KC daylighters on my windshield. No regrets on buying them. They are bright enough for what I do.

I ran 4 PIAA (2 520's, 2 510's) on my Tahoe along with HID headlight replacements... Overall, it was a fun, bright setup... And I did like the fact that the PIAA's got submersed a few times and came out just fine.

Now I'm running IPF HID (one spot, one driving) on the front of my JK... it's a LOT brighter, both in spread and way down the road... but this is kinda apples to oranges... I've heard these can't take submersion though, which kinda concerns me. I may end up buying some "regular" IPF driving beams and put them on the bumper and move my HID's up to my windshield pillars to keep 'em protected a little better. If I do get the "regulars", I'll post a comparison to the PIAA's I owned.

Just be warned, whatever you get, candlepower can become an addicting mod avenue... kinda like with lift and tires, you always want more.
