What's everyone using for Extra Lights, Show off your rig!

[midnightgravity]

I am contemplating weather or not to add extra lights in the future to the top of the H3 (Base 2008). I saw somewhere that the red optimus battery is preferred, and also saw someone that had 360 degree light pattern on the top of their mounting rack, with small lights positioned two on driver side, two on passenger side, two in rear, two in front. I Just want to see what other ideas are out there. Thanks! Pics would be helpful.
Also would another type of alternator be needed? (considering my ride gets a stereo upgrade as well)

Alternator depends on how much you're pulling. If you've got lots of big incandescents or a couple of big amps you may need the extra juice. If you're running a few LEDs and a conservative sound system, probably not.

I've plenty of lights - I have a 240v light bar, 9 LED side and reverse lights, two 6 LED corner lights, Halogen rock lights. I also run two compressors and a winch. I upgraded my alternator with a 200 amp from a 5.3 Avalanche. I'm going to run dual batteries - but more because I need to run my lights and not my motor for extended periods of time, so I'm installing a dual battery system with cross-jump capacity so that I can always start; but also get the dual battery voltage for when I need to run power tools off my inverter.

If you want to see the how-to, look at my H3 Alpha SAR in the build threads

240V light bar?!

 

[LoJac963]

It's a 2 but you get the point.

8 lights on top, 2 on the rear, Plus 1 lower fog light bar with PIAA's, LED DRL's which are bright as hell and my HID's.

5900k headlights and foglights. 55w halogen rounds (crap) on the brushguard. Aurora LEDs on the roof rack. 2 cubes facing rearward. 2 cubes and a 10" bar facing forward.

how do you like the hid headlights and fogs?

 

[digglesworth]

They aren't HIDs. They are HID lookalike halogen off eBay. The color is awesome. White with a tiny tiny tiny bit of blue. I don't like the real blue ones. I read somewhere that leds are around 6000k so I got these to get close to the same color. They're not bad. I'd like to get HIDs but I'll never put them in a halogen housing and I'm not forking out the cash for projectors...

someone asked about the fogs ... here's a really poor picture

 

[chad]

Here are my upgraded OLB LED bulbs

Stock alternator is 145 amps but you need some place to store the amps.
Exide Deep Cycle dual posts marine grade AGM. More cranking amps than starter batteries and are designed for repeated deep draw down and recharge and will work fully submerged, if that should happen the winch will still work hopefully before it sucks in water.

Wow! Those are All Great ideas! I'm liking the LED bar for sure. Soo many ideas. The battery setup hunner has is Awesome!
Was thinking more lights on the side of the vehicle.

 

[SuperBuickGuy]

my next lighting tricks will be floods on the brush bar and more rock lights, including ones in the engine compartment.

Color shift Oracles

I was thinking a nice neon, but twinmill would demand I bring back the chrome - and I just can't have that....

personally, it'd be cool, we could break out a rave on SAR missions with those pretty lights

How hard was the install? I was thinking of setting a set of those up in orange to run as my day time running lights
