I bought the WAl-Mart Fog Lights and they workd ok but i would go with the Warn ATV lights. They are probably brighter. The wally world ones were not that bright.

well multiple factors here.
cost , brightness, and size
my thoughts are with warn you are paying more because your bying a brand name and not necessarily getting ht best light for your money.
with walmart well best said "you get what you pay for"
and size alot of aftermarket lights are huge and not compact. taking away from the looks of your machine.
the most important thing to me would be brightness or candle power look at all your choices and look at the candlepower. then look in your price range.
this should possibly help you decide.

Fog pattern lights are the right choice. They give a wide beam spread and help a lot at night on trails. You dont want Driving Lights as they project a straight narrow beam. Choices; Walmart fog, Junk, Period. Warn trail lights, Junk, over priced and almost usless. Best light you can buy for an ATV, size, quality, ease of installation, and most of all ultimate beam qualities? Hella FF50s. Nothing compares to this light on an ATV. I run them on my Sport Quad and it has not killed one yet. I run them on my Utlities and they keep on working. Number one thing to remember about auxilary lights is that they are all vented. If you submerge them they will fill up with water. The FF50s are 55 watt and dont drain your battery. They should be hooked up with a relay for proper operation and safty. They can be found on Ebay by seaching FF50. I buy mine off Ebay and have paid between $25.00 and $40.00 for them. Be sure they are a fog beam and not a driving light. I have used the Walmart lights and killed several before I changed to the Hellas. Would not use anything else. Dub.

I have a total of 800 watts of lights on my quad. All PIAA I have replaced all my stock ones finally found the stock fog lights ones recently and added four wal-mart lights. I took them apart and made them waterproof and replace the bulbs for PIAA ones. I have a Warn back uplight replaced with PIAA for the back also with two more wal-mart lights that fitted perfect in my rear rack extention with PIAA in them. Note that the 800 watts in the output not the input.

Thanks for the help everyone!! I'm still looking and here is what I thought of so far. Back-Up light from Cycle Country Front lights from Yasky forgot what they are called, but they outshine the Baja Truck lights from wal-mart. I also still thinking if I want to get the RAM Spotlight or not. THANKS AGAIN!!
