007 try a few of these pointing to the side, 36 watt flood or spot. More than enough light for your needs.
Or you could use a 7" light bar. plenty of choices just keep your D/L legal
Plus LED will use less power

Hey guys sorry for the late reply forgot all about the thread. On the day i first got a 5 pin 40 amp relay which has two 87 terminals which is a normal off type but i also got sent a 5 pin with terminals 87 and 87a which is a normally on type 87a has power until you trigger the relay then it looses power, so i called a auto elec and told him i wanted to wire up a pair of 35w hid spotties and he said you beed a 70 amp relay so i sent the two i had back and got a 4 pin 70 amp. Now i'm only running 1 battery atm and connected the switch and relay directly to the battery but if i ever have any dramas with the authorities i can connect a wire from my high beam to the relay to make it work the legal way by either connecting it to the 30 pin for power in or the 85 pin for earth depending weather the circuit is positive switching or negative switching. But as far as using them as works lights the way they shine wont suit me so i'm thinking of putting a 12v socket under the bonnet and buying or making a led lead light to use. Thanks again for your input guys and as soon as i figure out how to post pics in threads i'll show off the end result cheers.
Driving lights need to be connected to the high beam circuit and be independently switched for them to be legal. There are other minor points but thats he basics.
Wire and mount 'em up on ya bar, then do what threedogs said and get an LED light bar but mount it on a swivel.
Face it rearward (work light) or forward (daylight) when required and can have it independently switched.
Ensure the current draw from the lights does not exceed the wiring carrying capacity, fuse rating or relay carrying capacity.
