    Pro-comp lights

    Does anyone on here have any experience with these lights? I need lights for the buggy, and they seem decently priced.

    Also, the ones I'm looking at use a 55 watt bulb. Is there any reason I can't swap in a 100 or 130 watt bulb if the 55 isn't enough and I want more? (the housings are black abs, so could they be damage by the extra heat perhaps?)

    i had pro comp lights on my chrome "roll/light" bar back in HS. I had the 55 watters and they did pretty good at night. They woulda been even better had they been on a front bumper.

    how wide is the beam on those? Do they act more like a spot or a flood?

    they are more of a flood light, four of them light up a 5 acre pond very nicely at midnight

    I like this quote taken from rc's website

    "Warning: This lamp is too powerful for on road use. Vehicle must remain in motion when lamps are on."

    In other words, you let them sit for a while without enough airflow and the damn things will melt down

    I guess my biggest problem is there isn't alot of room on the front of the buggy to put some decent sized lights where they will be adequately protected. One thought I had was to recess one light into the front of the grill above the winch, and then have two more lights mounted farther back near the tires to create a pattern like this \|/ . I think this setup will give me plenty of light for driving as well as working as rock lights when I'm crawling. I think 55 watts should be enough for the side lights, but kinda wanted something powerfull for the front facing one. But that is the one that needs to stay small (4x6 will work good, need to go home and check if a 5x7 will work). The procomp 4x6s use a 55 watt bulb, but I figured I could swap in a higher wattage bulb, if it didn't make to much heat for the housing to handle
