I'm at a loss as to what to do with my bull bar as well. I'm thinking PIAA 4000. Kinda small, but the rectangle shape fits the vechiles, and they are very flexible. I'd love the 520s, but to big and don't come in chrome. So sad.

Choose carefully based on how you want to use them. I wanted a nice bright light to use with my high beams and decided on the 150 watt KC daylighters. They look great on the truck IMO, but they are so freakin' bright that I swear they will catch a tree on fire. Far to bright to EVER use on the road.

I have the KC SLIMLITE, Chrome finish with stone guard 130 watt clear halogen bulb 300,000 Candle Power. I found it hard to justified spending more money on buying a set of PIAA then what I spent on the bull bar it self!

But if money is no big thing, then the PIAA 525 set is very sweet. It is a dual action, it works as a low beam and a driving light. The only come in black though I believe.

Here is a few pictures of my KC Slimlites

I`m putting kc daylighters on mine had them from a previous truck put 55watt h3 bulbs in to make them on road friendly.Can`t complain about the 23yr warranty either and good customer service (just my humble opinion).

I have the amber PIAA 520's on my bull bar. The bulbs are 85W, and pretty damm bright.

Check out the lightforce lights if your gonna add lights, we use them on many of our trucks at work that see the worst of offroad conditions. They are bulletproof (literally) and they look good.

I've seen alot of work trucks with those on them up here. I've got a brochure on them at work. So they must stand up well to the rocks and stuff. Do you know how much they go for $CDN ?

If all the bull bars take the place of the tow hooks has anyone found a bull bar with tow hooks on it? I would love to have a bull bar and some aux lights but dont wanna give up my tow hooks. Or worst case scenario could the bull bar be used like the tow hooks?
