If I was up for new lights, and drive through the stuff that you have in your avatar there I would go for some sealed units.. 75/79? landcruiser sealed beams are pretty good... Never going to fill up with water or mud.
Otherwise Dank sells those units...

If I was to spend money on vision I would want quality not some cheap crap with some useless bling. Hence why I just bought some Hella's and not the myriad of eBay special lenses with crap reflector design.

I put up a thread not long ago about descent headlight for sierra's. Check that out.

I maybe wrong but i'm pretty sure these lights aren't adr approved, can get narva h4 upgrade kit bulbs & lenses for around $100 from super cheap and ay least you get some form of quality

i didn't get halo kind, but i have bought reflector kind lenses from ebay, and i prefered them over any old sealed beam that had been left in the zook when i bought it, put some nice globes in and did better than the bosses's 80 with 6 forward facing lights,
i know there's the risk of blowing em up in the wet but i figured i'd be carefull and have a spare set of globes anyway

Spare globes don't help much when your reflector is stuffed from water ingress. Sealed beams and a wiring upgrade is the best solution for offroading imo

Not sure of the rules in your state Jake, but up here it is illegal to have red or blue lights on the front of your vehicle unless its an emergency vehicle.

You don't understand. Nobody is talking about left and right... LEFT HAND DRIVE RIGHT HAND DRIVE. US market lights ( unless otherwise marked) are for Left Hand Drive. The light is cut in a different way.  In this pic, you can see that the light kicks up to the right. In the USA, people drive on the right hand side of the road, so the light kicks up to give better kerb visability, and not blind motorists approaching on their left. The same lights fitted to a vehicle here, will blind the shit out of oncoming motorists, because we drive on the left, with vehicles approaching on the right. You picking up what I'm putting down?

Well if you're after something decent I can recommend the Hella H4 semi sealed style reflectors. With a 50/65 watt narva bulb they're more than enough light.
