 Swamp lights
I plan on making a swamp light bar that fits into my GT bowfishing rail mounts. My question is are y'all happy with the GT/GD/PD factory lights? They all look like tractor lights in 55 watts, right? What's y'alls experience with the spot/floods in 55 watts? I really like the LED's but they are too pricy. I saw some KC's with a black plastic housing in the $40 range (each) I just don't know if 55 watts will cut it.
I plan on plugging them into my trolling motor receptacle running off my second battery. I'm just using the lights for driving and will not be on a extreme amount of time. And no, I don't want a go light or hard hat light so keep that out of the post.
Thanks.

 Re: Swamp lights
I don't like the 55 watt ones. I use ones that are 110 watts. just make sure you have heavy enough wire to handle both lights all the way to battery.
55 are not bright enough for me..
2 110 watt with flood beams on front and a hard hat light with spot beam. All 110 watt and you are more than good to go....
just my .02

 Re: Swamp lights
The stock PD lights are useless. I barely use them. I just use my Q beam. If anybody knows of a good pair of lights that will fit in the PD bracket I am all ears.
