When I was in college, I bought a 66 bronco and put a blade on it.
For lights while plowing, I had two cheap fog lights mounted on a bar
on top. I took one of the bulbs out and went shopping at NAPA.
Seems as there is a size of aircraft landing light that is the same
size (4" round) A pair of those really lit up the parking lot I was
working on. For driving, I had another set of 4" driving lights.
Once in a while, when someone tried to blind me with their lights, I
too would flip on the off-road lights for a sec or two. It always
made the offending driver submissive. When ever I lit them up,
people paid attention.
I had a pair of Dick Cepek (?) 100W off-roaders on my old Blazer,
they would throw a pretty tight beam at least a mile down the beach.
If some beemer driver refused to turn off the aux lights after a
flash of my brights I would light them up with those things, which I
had aimed just so... You want aux lights? I'll show you some aux
lights.

Tired of oncoming headlights blinding you?
Who needs Euro lights, this would do very well!
Though I suspect the Boys and Girls in Blue would object, after
they stopped laughing!
When I was in college, a friend worked for a plating company making
hand-held light units that used their nickle-deposition-plated deep
parabolic reflectors. The "flashlights" had the electronics to power a 100
watt short-arc xenon lamp that had its arc at the focus of of the
parabola. We went up one night on the roof of the engineering building on
campus and could see it lighting up buildings in downtown Pasadena, CA,
three miles away. It was visible over all of the light from all of the
sources of a brightly lit up downtown area.
My friend went with another friend on a car rally and had the second
fellow hold the light on his lap. He later said he was really tempted to
have the second fellow shine it down the road at the people who refused to
dim their lights.
