Default ATV Spotlights

Hi, I'm looking for a spotlight that would plug into my 12v outlet on my quad.
Do you guys have any preferences and experiences with these?
Thanks

This 3 Million candle power from Wal mart gets good reviews Blue Max Marine 3 Million Candlepower 12V Spotlight Customer Ratings & Reviews - Top & Best Rated Products - Walmart

My friends uses a 2 Million on his atv with no ill effects, they sure are brighter than the head lights of his ATV. 2001 400 Kodiak.

@ TLC Thanks, but I'm looking for a mountable one.
@ Merrickvilleguy I want one that hooks up to the 12v socket on the side of my quad. Thanks though.

Wouldn't be too hard to wire up a 12v adapter?

no worries ... my biggest requirement for the lamp outside being bright was that it had to be dirt cheap ... it sticks up around a foot from the handle bars which puts it in prime stick territory ... at least if i smash it ... im only out $30
