I'm interested, post em up!

I have been thinking about putting a couple on the tahoe, maybe 4. 2 up front, 2 in the back!

Make sure you research what it is you really want. I have found that most aftermarket "driving" lights (55w) don't really offer you much more light. Your brights will wash out just about anything the driving lights put out unless you have them pointed slightly off to the side and illuminate an area you normal headlights don't hit. For offroading I went with a pair of KC 121 long range 130 watt lights. I have stock fog lights and with the long range KC's and my high beams it gives me great all around light coverage.

some places they would have come in handy Indian creek Moab and the back roads of the San Juan mountains

Putting the lights on the roof rack will light the hood up real nice.

I have Hella 500s mounted in the driving light holes of a '99 Outback. Use them 4-5 nights a week. More than enough useable light. They are pointed straight ahead and out enough to see the trees on the side of the road. The light wash fills in the center pretty well.

My understanding is that as long as the lights are covered, there is no problem on the road.

These are great:

Those are both cheaper alternatives that are really holding up good for people.
