LED light Bar ?
I'm wanting to get a LED light bar to put in my Ranch Hand Brush Guard it can't be more than 42" long. Want one that has both spot beams in the center and flood on the ends , usually the last 6" or so ,,, what are y'all using , brand etc. also don't want to break the bank in doing this. Also do y'all hook it up to the bright lights to make it easier to turn on and off so u don't have to reach to the dash to switch it on and off ,,,

I would stay away from the eBay ones. Most of those are some cheap Chinese knockoff, not to the standards you would want. I would only go that route, if it was purely show.
You will truly get what you pay for in terms of a LED light bar. I know people that run some cheaper spot lights from Northern Tool on ATV and UTV, and their fine. But they look cheap.
I am about to pull the trigger on a bar or two and lights from my truck. I don't know what your budget is, and that would he with what brands to look at. Any reputable brand is going to be expensive at 40". I love Rigid, but they almost want your unborn child getting in the 40 and 50 inch range depending on options. Check out KC, Hella, Anzo (?), rough country, rugged ridge.

This is the mount running between the hood bumpers. I had to lower that level about 2" to line up with the grill.
Here is a 32" HIDextra LED light bar behind the grill of my 2013 F150 FX4. Nice and bright.

I just installed a 20" light bar from Rough Country, it was very easy to install. The hidden mount looks great, is protected by the bumper and is still adjustable. Light is very bright.
I used the upfitter switch wiring which made the install simple, took less than 45 minutes to find the wires under the dash, splice and then do the same under the hood. Entire install was 1 hour.
This is on a 2013 F250.
