I'm planning to add 2 or 3 lights up front and one rear. Wondering what lights you have, and whats good and bad about them. And did you need to upgrade the alternator . . .

It depends on the pattern that you want. You can get Hella 500 fogs and Hella 500 Driving lights. The Hella 500ff's have free form lenses and are driving lights however.Do they spotlight, or do they put out a somewhat spread beam?
Those are fog lights. They'll be a wide spread beam much like your headlights, only brighter. They don't project very far down the road since they're just designed to penetrate below fog directly in front of your truck. Ideally, fog lights need to be mounted down low to work best.I plan on buying these lights and mounting them behind a billet grill, but I have no idea what the beam pattern would be.
I didn't use a "kit" per-se, its all custom, but I used DDM Tuning 55w H3 Bulbs and ballasts, and then did all the work to the lights myself. I did a big long writeup here a month or so back, about how I did it, its posted on here somewhere.not to thread hijack but Mtrhd0024 what HID conversion kit did you use, i like the output on those
To be honest, who knows... You never really know with stuff like that on eBay. Personally I'd just recommend spending the little extra $$ and buying some Hella or KC lights. I see them stating their lights as "150w" purely as an advertising gimmick.Actually I am pretty sure those Ebay lights are driving beam lights... There is absolutly no reason to put 150w bulbs in a fog light. not to mention they need to be designed to reflect the light so it will be less likely to bounce back up at you.
They look like good enough lights. I personally run 8 KC 57 series lights (well I will when I get the back rack made. 4 Long range lights up top and 4 driving/fog lights in front like ambivolent
