Default Lightbar light options

Hey guys,

I currently have a Gobi rack installed on my 2 door X. The space on the lightbar is incredibly limited -- only 2.5" x 6." I am looking for a quality budget lighting kit option to mount on the stealth without breaking the bank. I am currently at NYU and as one can imagine, I don't have the ability to buy super expensive lights for it, but with such dimensions I am sure my options are probably somewhat limited.

The example light kit shown on Gobi's site for the stealth are PIAA 1500XTs, but they are very pricey and I most certainly can't afford two sets for 4 lights.

Does anyone have any quality budget suggestions that'll fit the 2.5" x 6" dimensions of my stealth rack?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input!

You saved enough money to buy a Gobi rack...I'd continue to save enough money and get a good set of lights vice buying a cheap/quick fix.

Be patient, do it right the first time, and save your time and money in the long run.

I'm running KC 26 Series lights. They are 2"x6", but I wouldn't recommend them. The brackets sit a bit high, and you can't really adjust them to angles where they would be effective without the light hitting the bar.

I've gotten impatient and splurged on a set of 4 lights for my old Commander. They ended up being terrible, leaky, bad pattern, and not bright. They cost 1/4 of what I ended up paying for the good PIAA's I originally planned on. Cost + 1/4 cost = sad day. Although I did have some terrible wiring from the bad harness left over for scrap jobs

Default well now

well at least i know the Stealth rack is limited on space for lights. save all your pennines and get good lights. looks like i will be going the Ranger Rack after all. i want to be able to fit Lightforce 140's up there. if not 170's.
