What kind of Light Bar should I get?

lexon66 · Jun 1, 2014

I am looking to get a 30-32" light bar but i dont know which brand to buy.

Where are you planning to mount it? What kind of budget have you got to work with? I can help you out with that. Shoot me a pm or you can even text me

I'm looking to mount something on the bottom grill. Maybe like a 32" or so. I don't really want to spend a 1000 so maybe on the cheaper side. Just looking for a good deal on something

Hey memario, any idea what the beam pattern looks like with a light bar in the lower grill? I'm considering it, but I'm worried I'd get too much glare close to the truck and not enough down in the ditch, etc.

I need auxiliary driving lights for "highway" driving up North where we get long dark winters and lots of wildlife along the roadways.

Get a 20" from sidetracked off-road and mount it behind your grill. I'm a little biased though

I sure do considering I have one myself. What I can say is that you should get a spot pattern if you mount that low. The spot pattern on LEDs still has a decent amount of flood due to the optics. I made a really poor video not long ago with my setup (FX-R headlights, 32" LED bar in lower valence) so that you can see.

When you hear the loud thud that is the switch for the LED bar. The video does not do justice at all, but I have a combo bar. Go spot and don't look back

It does put out a very nice light . This is a 20" single row spot pattern mounted about waist height on a customer's vehicle:
