Anyone still running older style off-road lights?

I will be wanting to put some light on my truck. As nice as the new LED light bars are, I really like the look of older lights like the KC Dayligters etc. So post pics of what you've go on your trucks!

Led bars have plastic lenes, they fade like our composite headlights, I have four 2000 era Walmart halogen lights, two 100 watt on my headache rack facing forward, two 55 watt tractor lights facing rearward. ( And yes they are glass)

Needed them when I lived in the rural desert in Arizona, here not at all since I rarely travel at night.

Only if you cheap out. $50 lights are $50 lights, they'll be junk no matter what kind of light they are.
Any with glass lenses?, All I've seen is plastic and they turn yellower faster than my 31 year old headlights. I really don't get GM's thinking in the 90's, I have composite headlights on the 90 Silverado, but my 92 Sunbird has glass:Nonono:

Can't agree with this statement-I paid 25GBP for a pair of what seems knock off AIWA lights (18led) and they are brilliant-they don't mist inside(are super water tight) none of the led has gone out-I can't praise them enough. Had them over a year now. I also bought another pair-25 led WOWLED- ones and they were s h i t-took on water like a submarine and bolts inside rusted so badly they disintegrated. So not all cheap stuff are crap-but some are. There is nice video on that on you tube with 2 atv-one fitted with very expensive Baja lights-the other has cheap copies-the light output is pretty much the same and the guy with Bajas feels really screwed over.
Why am I posting in this forum? Cause I also wanted that old school kind a look but I also wanted high light output so I kind of married the 2 ideas-that's how it came out.
