    Anyone with the RI Light Bar in the RI Light Bar Cradle. Can you measure what the actual height of the bar in the cradle is? And if you have a 30" RI Bar what the actual width dims are?

    I'm thinking of switching the 30" Bar in place of the (3) HID's I have.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Dan!

    I saw that and made a cardboard cut out with the dims that were listed. If the Dims are correct I can fit a 30" on the front. It's just REALLY close if it will fit. Hate to spend $1000 for light that might not fit by just a hair.

    I was just curious if those numbers were what people were really seeing.

    Oh, most definitely!

    Your
    pics inspired me to go with okledlightbars.

    This will give me the excuse to get my rear in gear and get some lights hooked up.

    I already have a pair of Rigid Dually lights in my rear plate bumper - but haven't wired them yet. So after much indecision, bought some switches from OTRSTTW today and some relays and fuses elsewhere to go with them.

    Hopefully will have them all hooked up a few Saturdays from now.

    Just ordered a pair of 3x3 4-cree led pods from okledlightbars. Since I already have the 30" up front I was thinking of painting the lenses amber to cut through rain, snow and fog. I want to be able to use these with on coming traffic but I don't want to paint the lenses too incredibly dark. Any ideas?

    Yes, just use one of the yellow spray tints that are available. Seems to work for others.

    Got the pods on last night. Just waiting on the yellow vinyl tint to get here so I can wrap the lenses. Output is exactly what I wanted. I'll get some night shots later. Thanks Chris!

    Nice. I'm probably getting one of the crees off Chris too. Can I see a night pic of just them or did you hook them all up together? I want one for a back up light

    No I wired them up separately. I tried getting a pic but the output looks better in person than it does in picture. Since it's a fog pattern is disperses the light and it's hard to pick it up on camera. I'll try again though. I'm definitely happy with the output though. They're perfect. As a backup light I personally would want something a little brighter. Try going with maybe a 4" Trek Light XT. Just a tad more expensive but better for the application you're wanting it for and OKLED doesn't sell a 4". The owner is a vendor on T4R.org.

    Got the 12" and 20" mounted behind the grille. I had to make custom mounts to get them to hang just right. I really like how they look.

    Tried them for the first time last night. To be honest they're not as bright as I hoped or expected, but they will be okay for my needs. Still need to aim them up a bit too.

    This is an early Sunday morning shot while pulling out of my driveway. They look a little 'off' in the photo - but are actually dead nuts centered.
