I'm considering replacing my headlights on my 85 with some decent round off road lights. I've seen pics of rigs that have had this done, just looking for some ideas. Post up some pics for inspiration if you have any. Thanks. 

Before scrapping your lights alltogether, take a look at 4crawler's website:
http://4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/Headlights.shtml#WiringHarness

There's some good info in there. The guy is an engineer,so it's pretty detailed. Keep in mind that any high wattage replacement bulb or off road light you tie into the factory harness is going to put quite the strain on the electrical system. The problem is voltage drop through the factory wiring, not so much the lack of bulb wattage.

You can upgrade your lights only, but it'd be like running a 350 chevy in front of a stock W56 tranny.....

all i want is a little more than i'll ever get!!
