I've ordered some things from this company. This came in my email and thought it would be appropriate.

I'll get some of the front ones as soon as it get totally dark, the reverse ones will be done by the end of the weekend, can't make up my mind yet where those are going, I would have liked to have used the 2x2" cubes from walmart, but they are halogens and I didnt want to deal with the extra wiring, this way I can just spice into the stock wiring

as promised...$45 amazon light bar..20"/120w supposedly, I haven't bench tested, but for $45, I don't care THAT much.
Headlights are Hella 90/110w bulbs, high and low beams have independent relays harnesses.
Led bar currently is controlled by an old school foot dimmer on the floor.
Fogs are $10 amazon specials
Although its hard to see to the eye, the pics show pretty well the color difference between the hells bulbs and the LEDs, it's harder to tell in person because it's just so bright.
I think I kept the settings the same, so light output SHOULD be fairly close
the first mailbox is roughly 80ft, the 2nd and 3rd are about 250 feet, the treeline about 500ft.
aftermarket $10 fog lights in place of the factory tow hooks
Fogs and low beams
Highs only
LED bar only

and a couple shots of the interior leds while I had the camera settings set

For the price I paid, it's awesome, for regular price(129?) it would still be worth it, I know everyone talks about the Rigids and such, but those are just simply out of my price range, and this does everything I would ever need, I can't see something being THAT much better to justify the cost.
The bar is a combo spot/flood bar, so it tries to do both at least.
The good? Lots of light, all over, has pretty much 180* coverage, and some pretty darn impressive range, as well as prob 130* top to bottom, with the amount of hills I have, I don't mind this in the least. Low current draw is always a plus.
The bad? Lots of light, all over, has pretty much 180* coverage, and some pretty darn impressive range, as well as prob 130* top to bottom.
You get a LOT of glare off road signs especially, between the color temp and the sheer lumens, it can take some getting used to. Hard to see the lights of other vehicles coming the other direction. Thankfully where I have mine mounted, I see the cars before the light hits them.
I rode in a buddies superduty that it the light roof mounted, the glare on the windshield and hood was horrible and made it borderline unsafe to drive.
Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. I was hoping to slip this into the spot where the factory fogs were, but I just installed a front hitch, so it had to go up top, and the aftermarket fogs went to the tow hook locations.
I have lousy night vision, so every little bit helps, I wish the color temp was a little lower as the 6000K tends to wash things out a bit, but that's not really an option on the cheaper bars, and if I drop $500 on a light bar, I'll be sleeping in the truck.
