Another light thread

Hey guys, I've got yet another question about lights.

I'm looking at installing another set of lights on my stock FB. I'm trying to figure out what kind of lights I should be getting and how to install them. The application for the lights is for rally use on non-illuminated roads. Right now, all I have are the stock high beams but, they aren't providing enough power. So, what type and kind of lights do you guys think that I should mount?

In addition to that, how and where would I go about mounting them on a stock vehicle? I know very little about cars so, some sort of installation instruction would be greatly appreciated too.

I hear that with the RX-7 there are power issues that need to be addressed as well. I'm already running a 250watt amp plus four Alpine Type-S speakers. Will I have enough power to add on some more lights?

Go for the 7" round conversion with the Magic J bulbs. You get H4 lighting without adding load to your system. And its not all that expensive.

These light pods are available at http://www.roadraceengineering.com/lightpodinfo.htm for $175.

Or I think on the original 70's-80's ralley cars they drill the front cowl and mount KC lights or whatever.

I want LightForce lights for my truck. Because they are focusable like a flashlight and there are many chooses in filters/covers that you can buy for them. Both in different colors and also in defussed for wide angle flood pattern. They are available in 5.6", 6.6, and 9.5" incandecent or HID.
