Front Light Bar Question!

Has anyone done a front bar light? I just got a bar for free off a friends truck and it doesn't have the lights.

What are the best lights to use for them? (watt, lumens, etc.) Where to buy? Need I think 5.

Also, anyone have any advice on doing wiringh them up to a switch in the truck, inline fuse, gauge of wire, etc.

Thanks yall!

Kinda expensive, but I have 4 rigid LEDs under my bumper, CRAZY light out put, very impressed so far.

I'd put a big 20/30 inch bar on yours if it will fit

I have the tuff led 4" square fog lights, very impressive light for the money. I have a 20" Tuff led light bar in my amazon cart that I eventually will buy.

I have a Randy Ellis Design light bar with two pair of PIAA 520 series lights (1 pair of driving lights and one pair of fog lights).

X2 on the tuff LED! Amazon has lots of them. I have two 10 watt tied into my reverse lights. Works awesome with back up camera.

Wow, that is the exact same bar that I have! How much did those lights run you and where did you buy from?

Randy Ellis bar with 4 Bosch Rally lights at 100W H3 each. The lights are probably 15 year old and don't know where they were purchased. My dad had them in his garage unused collecting dust. Wired up two relays so that I can blast either all four or just two. Keep the covers on all the time as I'm uncertain these things are legal for road use in CT.

The lights were ~$225.00 per pair on eBay. I bought the bar from RED, Inc. on eBay as well -- not sure if he still sells them there or not.
