Just get a set of IPF from ARB (round) use 90/130 globes and a ARB loom.
Ive had them in round and they were very good.
Round put out more light too as top of reflector isnt chopped off.

ill agree, keep the rounds, and dont worry bout the ARB loom, make you own, its cheaper can all be done for about $80, i did mine this way and they are working fine with 90/130 globes,

I to put quarts halogen lights in as well but took them out and opted for sealed beams and driving lights as i was forever filling the halogen lights up with water and it stuffed the lens

True there is one there. Ive only just started learning how to use the stick/arc welder ( blue one ) and i can use the oxy for cutting ( prefer grinder ) and heating ( nothin beats it ) but not for welding.
All will come in good time.... Everytime i go near panel with anything to modify it i blow holes in it, thats y im learning to braize....
cheers,
