Aftermarket Grill/LED bars

Anyone have experience with these? I only see a few, and my local parts shop is encouraging me to hold out for the Rigid setup due in a few months.

At first I was goin to rock the T-rex setup, but I'm told their light isn't nearly as good as the rigid, which I believe, because I don't think anyone makes a light nearly as good as a rigid.

Thoughts?

I can see this forum is going to cost me a lot of money. I like that a lot.

I was going to get some but I rarely if ever go off road so when would I use them? I was thinking I might be able to get away with them as daylight running lights but I have oem LED DRL's so it may be just more redundancy. Might go with the Raptor 3 LED's instead that way I won't get hassled by local police.

That's nowhere close to enough light for me. Also, I bought an XL because it's all they had with 4.30 gears, I like the vinyl flooring, and knew I was going to upgrade the wheels/tires and grill.

So for me, a complete grill replacement is mandatory.

So far I've seen this:





Here is what rigid has for the 2016:



I like the looks of the T-REX stuff on top, but the rigid light is WAY better. It's very bright, very well sealed, and really is the benchmark.

With winter coming, it's going to be DARK soon, and lights make a huge difference in safety when traveling out of town with moose everywhere.

I am going to see my BIL this weekend and he has a 17- Gasser F250 Lariat. I am going to measure the differences of that opening.

How bright are they? I’ve been looking at those too but did not think they would be very bright compared to the big bars.

There pretty damn bright for just 8 inch bars I think a 30 inch on the bumper would be a lot brighter but wouldn't look as near as clean as these do in the grill the kit comes with covers that you can put on the lights I guess for protection if you want but when they are covered over the lights it looks as if nothing is there at all. The camera just doesn't do these lights any justice.

You don’t need a whole aftermarket grill. Just a cutoff wheel.
