I want 2 pairs of add-on lights. I want some new driving ones that mount on the bumper between the healdights. Hella has them but do PIAA have anything similar that wont stick out very much but will still do the job and look good.? I want another pair of light that can be mounted somewhere else, I dont want them to stick out and draw too much attention, but I want it for up close brightness. Would it be possible to mount them directly to the roof on both sides? Plus (whew) I want some colored lights like the orange ones on running boards but not just orange. Accessory lights, yeah thats it! Where would be a good place to mount them at? Thanks guys,

I put a set of PIAA 1500 driving lights in the oval opening in the bumper. I later moved them up and into the grill and changed to the 85=130 watt superwhite bulbs. They will definetly light up the road.
If you use a good big projector light in the fog light position you can use 85 or 90 watt bulbs and not bilne on-comming traffic. The PiAA 959 I now have is very good but for the difference in price the Pilot 704 with a PIAA 90 watt bulb is a lotta light in a good quality projector for about $80. including the upgraded bulbs.
You will have to trim the valance with either of these but it's not hard to make it look good.
 






what do you want to spend??? Your statment is wrong in your question....I myself would go with Piaa. My setup right now is 4 lights on the front bumper(2 foward, 2 to the side) a set of fog lights inside the bumper, and another set inside the bumper lighting up under the truck.

For your setup(and the cheapest) I would go with some Piaa 40 series with some superwhite bulbs. They will run about 140 for the light and about 80 for the bulbs. Mount these on your bumper. I'm not convinced that the factory rack will hold lights that well. Several have ran them though. For this I would get some 520 series. This setup will light up to trail and the street for just about any needs.
