Lighting decisions

Critics welcome lol


Ok some needed help deciding on lighting for the truck. I sold the blitzpro 21s and have a new light bar coming in 15 days lol. It is 32" Double row spot/flood pattern A few months ago I came home to one of my round 7" in lights shattered on the garage floor and cannot find a good replacement for just that one and don't really want to have to replace the other 3. and have to convert those over to HID as well.

So should I ditch the nfab light bar and 4 lights in front. Put the 32" in the lower grill and be done? The new light bar will not fit in the lower grille when the nfab is on btw.

Or should I ditch the nfab, put the led light bar in the lower grille, and keep two of the 7" in lights and put them behind the grille and make my grille a satoshi? Well buy a satoshi or a generic one and sell my painted grille. ( not comfortable hacking up my grille for the satoshi mod.) Just trying to weigh out the options.

I like the look of the 4 lights in the front but the waiting for the HID's to warm up is annoying sometimes.

with out lights ( over look nfab light bar)


with 4 lights ( over look led light bar)

 

Retrofit and you won't need any of them.

Though I do think that bar with lights looks damn good on your truck. It;s that black and white combo.

y i buy green

 

What is your overall goal? Do you use your lights a lot? Or are they just for fun/occasional use or just for looks on your Tacoma? What is your budget?




I have both Hella 700 HID conversions..and they are super bright. except the beam pattern is all messed up. And mine take a full 30 seconds to warm up.
I also have a 32" Totron Cree LED light bar and I am very happy with it. Turn on instantly (which I like to flash when some idiot has their brights on).


The combination of these 2 is awesome. My opinion: go back to a 21 inch LED light bar and the 4 spot lights.


have you thought about some round LED...these appear to have some impressive beam pattern & throw. This is the same place I got my LED light bar. If/when my Hella HIDs go out..I am going to replace with these:

Just more for play. Since they been on the truck. They have been turned on once. My main issue is that the second from drivers side is an empty light housing with a cover over it. I came home from work and one of the lights was shattered laying in my garage floor and cannot find a replacement one for anything. I found 1 on ebay and the woman sent it and when I opened the box the whole light was shattered as well. And That was the only one I have been able to find. When I see one online I click it and no longer for sale or discontinued. But man these lights throw far and wide which is what I wanted.

WAY better option, safer, more utility(use them everyday myself) and you save more money

 

Not interested in retrofit. Interested in my off road lighting.
