NraFan · 10-16-2009, 08:27 AM

the n-fab light bar looks sweet.

Capita · 10-17-2009, 05:56 AM

I have the N-Fab light bar with 4 Hella 700FF's. Very pleased with the bar.

Snyperx · 10-17-2009, 03:29 PM

I just sold my KC light bar and 4 Hella 500's and am trying to decide what I want to do. Wanted a different light bar that didn't hang below the front bumper. Not sure what I want now. Ideally I would love to go with a ARB or All Pro front bumper, but no way the funds for that will be available any time soon. Anyone running the KC DayLighters? I also am looking at the Pro Comp 130's 8" lights.

Dellosa89 · 11-01-2009, 01:36 PM

I highly recommended a light bar. Im running the Defiant light bar. with just 2 hella 700ff cause i cant afford the other 2. but i converted my hella 700ff to HID and they are bright as hell.

socalman22 · 11-05-2009, 09:08 PM

I have the n-fab with four lights hellas 500 on the outside and slims HID lights on the inside very good setup!

Possum Fat · 11-08-2009, 08:40 PM

I'm thinking about picking up the n-fab myself.

You guys who run 4 lights...any need to run a 2nd battery?

Beefed Taco · 11-08-2009, 09:13 PM

Do you guys have to cut any of the stock valance parts to get these to fit?

Capita · 11-09-2009, 09:03 AM

No cutting or drilling with the n-fab. Very easy install. No need for a second battery for me, I have 4 lights and have the trd sport. I think the upgrades in the trd package is a good help. (The Upgraded Alternator, etc.)

Keason1* · 11-10-2009, 02:14 PM

nfab with hellas. replaced middle two bulbs with amber ones

Possum Fat · 11-10-2009, 10:21 PM

Ok, so how about stability on these bars? Any notice of them shimmyin and shaking while going down a washboarded road? Or do they old pretty still?

Both the N-Fab and the Defiant are pretty tits. Personally, I like the looks of the Defiant just a bit more, though..

socalman22 · 11-10-2009, 10:25 PM

Well for me my lights are on there and didnt move while i hit some nasty whoops lol TriComa can vouch for me, but its made nice i do like the make of the difant bar just more expensive n-fab does the job

Manwithoutaplan · 11-10-2009, 11:17 PM

How much did you guys spend on your light bars and lights? does the air damn plastic pop out pretty easily? Roughly how long did it take you guys to install the light bar and lights?

socalman22 · 11-10-2009, 11:22 PM

The light bar mounts go over the plastic part so there no taken parts off to get the light to go in, i have 2hella 500's and 2 of slimcubbys offroad HID built in ballast lights in the middle, the light bar should take less than 20min to do and the lights take your time and wire it correctly i had a buddy romancito install my lights. light bar you can buy directly from n-fab or stillen.com for $150-$160

I paid $150 for my defiant light bar but it was used. my hella 700ff were $80 a pair and the HID conversion another $40. it took me 30min to install mine.
