KC Headlight layout/setup ideas?

I have two daylighters long range on my F150 front bumper on a smittybilt bar.

What is is the ideal setup. I was also thinking of adding four on my roof of my truck.

I do some desert driving at least once a week and I live on the edge of town where I am at.

in the end I may do 8 lights or just 4..

Please any input.

I think the four up top and two out front is plenty.

8 IMO would be over kill..

How do you plan to mount the roof lights?
Roll bar...

Yes 130 watts is much x 8 is much current = roughly 77 amps but i will be not running the stock head lights, also will do as panda24619 said convert them to 55watt HID in the future.

I am also wanting more lights. currently have heads, fogs, and 2 in my bumper all 55w hids. How many watts can we run before we are going to overload the charging system?
