If you're like me and love the look of round lights up front rather than the light bars, the 9" Amazon ARB Intensity knockoffs are a decent option. I just mounted two 185 watt lights with the black front (rather than the red) and they're not bad. $135 for the pair rather than $1500.

They feel sturdy and the spot beam is decent. They're not as spotty and focused as the ARBs but they're insanely bright to compensate. Wired both directly to one of he 40A AUX wires. Made a mounting bracket with an aluminum L bar and some screws from Lowe's.

Only thing is they squeal when they're on. Sort of like when you stick your head in the back of an old CRT tube television. Hmm. Now that I think about it, I did that a lot as a kid. Possibly more than necessary or medically safe. That could explain few things. I'm going to go ask my mom why she let me do that. In the mean time, here are some pics.

They look great - did you have the aux switch or use something else?

I have the Tow/HD Electrical package so I used one of the 40 amp aux switches. I'm calculating 15 Amps per light.
