Budget Aux Lighting 2020

[IdaSHO]

So what's what in budget lighting these days?

Not all of us choose to afford big $$ lighting.

What are you running and why?


We have been rocking the knock-off ARB intensity lights on our super-duty.
They do decent, I have had one failure. Most likely to an extended trip down washboard alley...
But they are inexpensive ($50 each), and replacement is easy enough.

I had some on my Jeep (now sold) and they were a lot of bang for the buck, for sure.

Not driving lights but I went with some Amazon knock off area lights around my truck rack. I did get flood vs spot but still not impressed. I have had much better luck with Hella Valufit and that's what I'll be getting for my new truck topper/pop top.

I think LED replacement high beams are a good deal. Might now be strictly legal but you don’t have your high beams on when approaching traffic anyway.
My “500w” $30 no name LED light bar measured out more like a 50w but was still pretty good as a wide beam flood light. Kinda want to upgrade it.

For the past year or so I've had generic LED bulbs in my high and low beams with no issue. My light bar, reverse lights, and driving lights are all no-name brand Chinese knock offs and they have worked amazingly well, especailly considering the price.

The only real down side I've noticed is the hardware is cheap and rust pretty quickly. I just hit up Ace and get SS bolts and they are good to go.

I search for "used" on Amazon and get them pretty cheap. All of them were new and uninstalled, but were in damaged boxes.
