Off road lighting

I live in a rural area, lots of dark back roads. What is the best lighting set up for my mini.

What do you have now?
The stock "refresh" xenon lights (the projector ones) found on the 2005+ cars are awesome IMO....the older ones are iffy at best...
Adding hella driving lights are popular....just install them with a relay...folks have melting wiring doing it wrong...heck many installs are not even hooked up...they are just bling...m

Piaa 520's really light up the night. Plasma Ion in yellow driving rather than fog, 85w, not particularly street legal. Great forward and side coverage.

anything meant for xenon will be a great addition. LED light bar will create a lot of light. I have 4 hella 500's on my car, they work great, they bounce a little bit right now but they put out a lot of light. I have 4 of them. only thing I wish is that 2 of them were flood beams
