Wanting to put a light bar on the front of the truck. Not waiting to drill into the bumper and looking for a clean look with the factory front bumper. Wanting to get some ideas from the group. Below is what I have looking at so far.
Leaning towards a 30 inch curved to fit just over the front bumper.
Not interested in F150leds.com offerings based on some negative customer service feedback on this site and the F150 forum.
M&R
Like the bracket / no drill option but the appearance of the light bar not a fan of. Not liking the individual pods look. M&R does not sell the brackets separately.
Although you stated that you didn't want to drill holes, adding nutserts is very inexpensive, and gives you a lot of flexsibility in mounting various lighting configurations at very reasonable costs.
I've been really happy with Black Oak light bars. I've had 2 for years with zero moisture behind the lens, yellowing of the lens, or noticable reduction in brightness. Those are all problems I had with Amazon lights. I will be mounting a 20" in the bumper cutout soon on my new to me 2022 f350. No rush as it is light in Alaska nearly 24 hours this time of year. I bought brackets from KD Fabworks. I can't speak to the quality of the brackets yet, but I wouldn't recommend the company. I ordered reverse light brackets over 2 months ago and haven't received them. Over a month ago the guy said he was updating the design to be able to accommodate the bumpers on the 23+ trucks also. He said it would be a couple more weeks, which was fine, but after a month he is no longer responding to emails.
I bought Baja Designs for my reverse lights. I love that you can buy different lenses to change from a flood, combo, spot, work/scene patern. They are expensive, but the quality and flexibility offset that some. I can't afford them for all my lighting needs, but I won't be spending another dollar on budget lights either. Amazon lights don't cut it with the wet and cold climate where I live.
