How much light is needed? Only @Ground_zero298 can really answer that for you.
I know what I needed for my activities. A half mile lit up circle for predator hunting and letting the dogs work. Guess it comes down to what you use your bronco for. I also run a pair of thermal scopes with 7” screens and a remote controlled magnetic boat spot light good for a mile. We have a lot of porcupines where I hunt at. Important to put eyes on them before the dogs do. Yotes and cats get a 22 in them and the dogs do the rest.

I don't think ill put them on the roof any time soon. I was thinking about a couple for my brush guard above my winch and some a pillar for ditch lights.

I have no idea how noisey they would be.
If you ever go the roof route, we make an integrated roof LED lightbar to minimize wind noise. However, we agree with the others who suggest taking a drive at night and seeing where you're lacking... If it's narrow roads you're worried about, maybe something illuminating those ditches directly would help.

Like I've said before man, I think you've got too many lights, but I can't argue with how meticulous of a job you did, it's really quite good.

Sure beats what my neighbor's kid is doing to his truck:

And yes, dude drives around with these on, all the time, day or night, even the blue ones.

Anyone have any experience with the Harbor freight Roadshock 3" lights? They have both flood with side light and spot with side light.

Im thinking of using the flood lights for ditch lights and maybe ad a couple of either flood or spot to the underside of my brush guard above my winch.

My bronco is gradually coming together. That being said, I am thinking of adding more lights to my setup. I currently have Rough country 20" light bar in my winch setup and the rough country fog lights kit with drl. They produce a lot of light but curious if i need more?

I am thinking of adding some more in the top portion of my brush guard hanging down and possibly some on the pillars to get a wider spread. Budget friendly but good quality and reliable would be best.
