Default Which Lights for new bumper?

This morning I placed an order with RTE for one of their wideface bumpers with full brushguard. Also had them add the fogs like yoops has in his. They told me its a 4-6wk wait right now, but that hasn't stopped me from planning what's next.

I'd like some good lights on it that are large enough to fill it out nicely and provide enough light to help me spot critters on the backroads headed home, while still being somewhat affordable on a college budget. I have hella700's on my other rover but they aren't bright enough. Any ideas?

Also I'd prefer to stay away from led bars if possible. I know they put out great light but I just don't feel they fit the time period of the D2. I'm just weird like that.

I have the "Blazer C52CW Baja Off Road Quartz Halogen Light", which are on Amazon for pretty cheap. They put out exceptional light. They're brighter than my HIDs. A fair warning, the main chrome piece will begin to rust if not painted. I would recommend painting the main rear dome immediately after getting them, or shooting a coat of Plasti-Dip over the entire light (sans the glass front). Other than that, no complaints!

Also, they may not be as large as you'd like, but they seem to fit pretty well none the less.

Those don't seem too bad but I like to buy things once and some of the reviews have me questioning longevity.

Based on reviews I'm really eyeing with the Warn SBD-210's or the LightForce 240 Blitz. I just don't know anyone with them. Anyone here have or had either of these?

Madlands you are gonna love RTE's bumper. The little fogs put out amazing amount of light as well and compliment the bumper. Tell Mr Bill I said hello!

I have the Warn SBD 210s as well for the center section. They work great and put out a larger amount of light. I suggest the covers as well for protection. Although not the cheaper way to go I am extremely happy with this set up
