4 inch lights for Road Armor Bumper
Does anyone know a good place to get some 4 inch lights that go in a road armor bumper. Or any othere than piaas. I know the piaas are good but if there are some that are a little cheaper I would perfer them. $80 each is a little steep to me! Thanks

$80??? the piaa 510 driving and fog lights sell for about $240 a pair. as for options you would have to look for lights with the same dimensions as the piaa's- i would try a local off road shop so you could test fit them and not have to worry about sending back ones that don't work.

Look for some Eagle Eye's, or KC HiLites... Thats your best quality option besides PIAA's, otherwise your looking at the cheapo's and while they might fit, how long do you want them to last? I run a pair of Hella's but they are 6". Quality seems to be excellent, but they use a cheap switch and make you wire into the Highbeam power supply...thats an easy fix.

Wow, a buddy of mine can get them for $70 each. He just ordered a Diprocol rail pressure gauge from the same guy that has the piaas for for $150. I may have to check into that a little more.
I thought RA told me that they were about $170 a pair?
Also hows the light compare to stock, I assume its noticeably better?

You can get some NightVision cheapies, good reflectors that hold up to higher wattages with polycarbonate lenses....and put some LED's in the small holes(if they have the smaller turn signal holes) and save your money for some real lights over the top....PIAA's are wayyyy over priced for the durability and where they are actually assembled. Hella's are good quality for the money but the wires are way too light for the higher wattages. Good Luck....and post some pix. Kerry

i don't know if the night vision thing will work. i've never actually seen anyone with a road armor bumper that was'nt running the piaa's but up until fairly recently you could get the lights with the bumper from road armor and they would give you a good deal on the package. also i've never seen 510's sold individually and $70 is real cheap so make sure of what you're getting.

i found my hella's by running a search on ebay for "6" off-road Lights". Im gonna guess if you change it to 4", you would get the same results. But then again I was also unsure of what I wanted when I was looking too, so I wanted to be able to compare. YMMV!

Just a refresher. The only ones that I find ar some KC 50 series, but its going to be a close fit. I measured the holes today and there about 5 1/8 inch big, so do the PIAAs not fill up the whole completly?

The Halos will go out one at a time and you will look tupid....you have to measure the holes and find some lights that fit with a little clearance... The PIAA's at $70 each are cheap. KS

There not $70 each, but I found a place on ebay that has them for $165 plus shipping for a pair, so I may go that way. I measured to day and the hole is a little over 5 inches, and these lights measure 4" dim, and 3.1" deep. The piaas are 3" 15/16 and 2" 7/16 deep. I was supprised when the hole was that big. I was thinking the same thing about the Halos but there wired seperatly so I wouldnt have to run them.
