PIAA Extreme White Plus 9007 bulbs for the headlights and PIAA Extreme White Plus 9005 bulbs for the foglights. The correct number for the foglight bulbs are 9145, but with a little work with a file you can modify the 9005 high beam bulbs to fit. The article is here; http://www.jeepprojects.com/content.php?article.43

I used to run the Silverstars, which were very good, but I decided to try the PIAAs which I found to be even better. If you want to save some dollars go with the Silver Stars, you will not be disappointed. The PIAAs appear to have a better beam pattern. They light up the sides of the road better and they light up farther down the road than the Silver Stars. Either one is far better than the stock bulbs.

You could try the PIAAs in 80/100 for the high lows and the 100 watt 9005s. Not sure if Silverstar Ultras are available in that configuration. Hellas are also available in off-road wattages; 80/100 high low and 100 watt 9005s.

If I remember correctly Hood247(?) has Warn dual beam driving and spot lights on his ARB. When I looked into those, they said they were plug and play simple to set up.

Now the 160 amp alternator and Optima battery to power all of this might set you back a few more dollars as well. :lol:

yup, thats me! I love them, the dual beam feature is worth every dollar. And as mentioned above they are very easy to wire up.
The wiring harness is bullet-proof, and Only one small wire has to be ran into the cab.

I would recommend these to anyone, If you have an ARB I would def. suggest them. They fill out the space better than typical 6-1/2" Off road lights.

Warn offers the SDB-160s and the SDB-210s I'd go with 160s on a stocker, and 210's on anything aftermarket.
