The lights on my 2WD prerunner. There are two mounted on the bumper frame horns pointing to the sides, four on the bumper. The two inside lights are halogens with a low/high bulb. the outer two are HID's.
P.S. could have used a snorkle!

Here's my off-road light solution..
The reality is I never had a problem needing off-road lights in the first place as I don't drive at night plus I've never been a fan of having the front of my truck (or the sides, or the underneath, or the rear) looking like a JC Whitney catalog exploded on it with every imaginable lighting accessory
For me night time is for sitting around the campfire enjoying camp food, adult beverages and star gazing, not for trail riding :camping:

I hear ya Larry. I like to get into camp before dark but given most of our travels are done during the winter, it's dark by 5pm or so. As much as we try, many times we end up getting to camp in the dark. Might only be 6pm but still very dark at that point. At this point I would rather have them and not need them then need them and not have them. BTW, you've never had a 2nd gen Ram with the most craptastic factory lights know to man... About the only options seem to be "show" lights that look cool but don't really work for crap.

I leave right after work on Friday. So I don't get to my campsite until nighttime. Big lights are great for Deer avoidance on my way to camp. I like to make it near my camp/Weekend event before the weekend even starts. Not uncommon for me to arrive 2am Thursday for a 3day weekend.

I usually stealth camp, arrive at a Motorsports track of some sort and rough it in the nearest woods, or go to a 24hour check in campground on Fridays. I can allways switch to a woodsier daytime entry only campground Saturday. I'm allways roughing it and stuck in the boonies.
-
I'll definitely be adding some lights to my newest rig soon. Reverse lights & maybe corner lights on a Back Rack, and some real power up front. The rack mounted aux reverse lights are handy for bed lights and work lights. I just have too many mods planned 1st that are eating all my $$$$. None left over for Fyrlyt's or Hella Ralley's.

The Hella worklights are great little camp and slow rolling lights:

I've always had off road lights on the front of my truck. That said, I am a young guy and lights are cool.
That said, its come to my attention this year that the lights on my truck are significantly inadequate. So far I've installed a LED light bar.
That thing is BRIGHT. HOLY CRAP WOW.
The only problem is that while the LED light is awesome, its kinda a novelty that I'll use sparsely. That is the truth. Currently I'm looking at upgrading my headlights to LED as well as the other lights. The other lights are for safety but decent headlights will be awesome. The honest truth is that I will rarely be "on the trail" after dark. If I'm night riding, I'm in the passenger seat.
Bottom line is I bought that thing because inside apparently I'm 5 years old. It is SO COOL but about as practical as a guard cat.
Its getting dark earlier these days. I got lucky back in July, dipping out of work at 5 on Friday then driving 4 hours to a campsite and NOT driving in the dark (though I beat it by like, 10 minutes). Doubt I can do that again now. Having decent headlights will make a world of difference on heavily traveled 2 lane roads.
That is the problem here in GA. Despite being a rural 2 lane road, there is still a bunch of other people on it! I drove back late from a friends house a couple months ago. To get to their house, you gotta travel 10 miles on a 2 lane road that actually has a significant amount of travel on it. Using Aux lights wasn't really an option and my stock headlights were a joke. I don't remember them being this big of a joke, but they were.
In the city we have low enough speeds and enough lit streets to make it a non-issue.
