Hey all i'm looking for a good budget light. Something under the $200 mark.

I've be looking at a few so what are your opinions.

1.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NITE-STALKER-180-4WD-DRIVING-SPOT-FLOOD-LIGHTS-NEW-/300465709189?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45f526e085.
These lights dont come with a wiring kit or relay etc.

2.http://www.marsperformance.com/html/MARS-LA938-8-Inch-4x4-Fog-Driving-Spot-Lights-with-Lamp-Cover.html
These seem like a good light especially if you upgrade the globe for $20

3.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NARVA-MAXIM-150-ROUND-4WD-DRIVING-SPOT-FLOOD-LIGHTS-/350256564089?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item518ceb0779#ht_3837wt_1170

5.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HELLA-RALLYE-FF-500-SERIES-4WD-DRIVING-SPOT-LIGHTS-NEW-/250724609717?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6059eeb5#ht_3884wt_1170

There no lightforce light but some are better then none. If you have more to add feel free to add them.

Price has ruled out HID?

All the ones listed are from the same place? Ring them and pick their brains to find the best to suit your application, bull bar (if any) etc

Make sure they fit where you intend to put them esp the 240mm ones.

I've never had free form reflectors, but am attracted to those last listed Hellas.

Make sure the wiring harness is suitable to allow the lights to work at their best - really adds up to heavy enough wiring from battery to relay and then to light. The wiring that allows the relay to function as a switch does not need to be able to carry as much current.

How about these, I have 2 spots and they are great.
Can easily be up graded to HID later.

The Maxim 150's are not that great and i wouldn't worry about them..
The Narva Tauras Bull Lights are freakin huge so might wanna do some measuring to make sure they would fit into your Bar
The Narva 175's have been rated one of the best lights under $200 by 4WD Action Magazine and they are very good lights for the price
I have never used the Hella Rallye 500's and in the pic they both look like spreads to might not get long distance out of them???
Haven't tryed the Nightstalker so cant comment on them unfortunatly

My opinion out of those lights would be the Narva 175's and spend another $50-$100 and fit 35w HID kits into them and i reckon you would be a very happy camper Lol
