    I'm searching for auxiliary lights mounting options for my 2012 AC. Lights will be Hella Rallye 4000i, which are about 9 inches in diameter.

    So far, I've found the only option I've found that I like is the NFab light bar.

    I'd like to stay away from bulkier options like the Avid Off-Road or bull bars.

    It seems the led light bars are what people here prefer and I haven't been able to find a lot of options for other types of lights.

    Any input is appreciated!

    Just a quick update on this post. I ended up getting the Westin "Offroad" light bar.

    The light bar itself is pretty different from the one Westin advertises... not sure why of if I got the wrong bar... (See image from product box) In any case, it wasn't worth the hassle of returning it, so I just installed it.

    It fits well, too well in fact. It was so close to the front bumper and grille that I couldn't mount my lights on it. And that's with the light bar adjusted as far out as possible.

    I had an extension welded on the mounting rails and that took care of the issue.

    Overall, it's an OK product. The mounting system could be better and the bar could be sturdier. Bottom line is that it does the job and doesn't look too bulky, but is nothing to get excited about.
