A lot of off roaders use two types of lights, floods and spots.Think of the two sets of lights as high beam and low beam. Normally one set is mounted low for illumination around the buggy [low beam, floods] your able to see into turns and details of the trail. A second set is mounted high on the roll cage to illuminate out ahead of the buggy, the higher the better for range [high beams, spots]. You adjust the lights so the high beams pickup where the low beans fade out. you don't want a shadow section between the light patterns. The high beams are on a second switch so you can cut them out just like dimming the lights in your car. Otherwise you blind oncoming traffic or while your in a campground or a illuminated area.
