    Which Halogens?

    Hey Guys! I'm looking for some quality halogens lights I could use so I could finish my detailing "after hours." Haha. Well I can't decide where to even start and I figured a lot of you probably have halogens so I was hoping for a little insight on them. Thanks again guys!

    i would just go to home depot or your local home improvement store and find the cheapest set. As long as they are bright, and pretty sturdy, they will be fine. I just use a mechanic light, you know, the lightbulb on the handle attached to an extension cord. i dont know the real name for it. but i can see swirls really well with it.

    I agree totally. Home Depot has sales on the stan Halegon lights. I bought mine there, alas not for detailing . I would say though I found another use.
