I'm making the move this weekend to buy lights for my P500.. I bought the switches I like and harnesses. I just can't decide on lights. Price is def a factor.. I found a Cree setup that included a 20" led light bar and (4) 2" led spot lights (aux lights).all was less then $100! Should I make this purchase? Reviews say they take on water and have had leds go out. But I can always wire a little nicer and silicone. Are there lights out there worth spending just a little more on but not killing my bank?
Thanks
Anybody have picks of there light setup?

If so taken them apart and use black silicone in abundance to seal mating surfaces.

The order has been made! I also picked up a few switches I liked.. Not getting It all until late February it looks like. I will be sure to keep everyone posted on how it looks. What a difference in price when you go aftermarket. Lights r lights.. As long as u know the difference between "spot" and "flood" u should be fine. I plan on taking the lights apart and making sure the wiring is strong and the case is water sealed.

Was able to sneak outside for an hour and Installed two of the four work lights. Feel rigid mounted to the roof. Hooked em up to a temp power supply to see how they looked. I'm happy. I'll run the wiring and install the switches when I'm done mounting.

Funny thing is, that's one of the switches I ordered. I have a different idea for that switch tho.

Used all the hardware that came with the light. We will see if it holds up. The mounting bolts are a little to short for my liking but the nut grabbed a couple threads so, good enough for test runs. Just gotta remember it's up there so I don't skim any low lying trees

Looks good. I ordered four 48W square lights. Two for front and two for the rear. Hope they come soon.

So I have finally hooked up the rest of my LED work lights. And these pictures do it no justice compared to actually being out there.
I am waiting on my winch switch still and then I'll post the dash switch setup.
