Jan Van Needs Rally Lights; Need Oppopinions (Update: let's make a decision on KC lights)

I’ve got my first night rallycross event next month. As is perdition, I figured I should get some extra wattage to light up the course.

As with almost everything on the Transit Connect, there are no kits made for it. So I’ll have to whip something up together. Should I do LED bar(s)? Circle lamps? Flood lights vs spot lights? Amber or white?

I’ll probably install them on the front bumper or the hood, but I do have a weird interest in slapping on some KC lights (or similar) on the roof like you’ve all seen on trucks. I’ll wire a separate switch to turn these on, that way I’m not blinding everyone on the road during everyday commuting.

I’ve never messed with light bars or rally lights before, so any recommendations for a decent brand or set up would be great.

Update

Narrowed it down to KC lights. The retro Daylighters or their new Pro-Sport line.

The Daylighters can be set up to be either spot lights or driving lights, the Pro-Sport comes in the wide-40 configuration. Seems like the only major difference besides the beam pattern is a poly-carbonate construction on the Pro-Sports vs. a stainless steel construction on the Daylighters.
