    Finally blew the motor at 230,000, sprung for a Jasper with 100,000/3 year warranty. The birdpig has a new set of wings!

    The best thing about these expensive led light bars is that when some tweaker finds my truck parked next to yours at a trailhead, they don't even bother stealing my KC daylighters!

    I want to know sizes. The 50" bar that they show looks awesome, but would a 20" bar look as good or just dumb.

    I want to replace my BlitzPro as well. I want a spot/Combo

    I think a 20" would look just fine. And hoenstly I don't really care how it looks as long is it makes a lot of light and can withstand a beating sitting on the front of my truck lol.

    They are good for their intended purpose. Don't get one expecting to use them as a spot light. They are just a flood light and are hard to beat for the price. My favorite are the 6lzs as reverse lights. I mounted them up high on my shell to use as auxiliary lighting while camping or backing up.

    I was thinking about getting a 21" and mounting it on a n-fab light bar bar. How is your front light mounted?

    Bolted to my bumper...lol. Ghetto rigged for sure but oh well. Works fine, doesn't vibrate at all and was easy and cheap to do. Planning on a new bumper anyway so drilling holes didn't bother me.

    I have one. And love it for the massive flood pattern. I just want to switch it out for a spot/combo. But for the price you can't say no. And the 6LZ is an awesome back up light

    can you do me a solid and post a pic of your reflectors - where the spot ones meet the flood ones? Curious why everyone else seems to get 8* spot and I have 30*...

    Will try to get a pic tomorrow. It basically looks like this though, spot on the left (the middle of the light bar) and flood on the right (the ends of the light bar)

    I got it brand new off a member on here. I believe he only had 2 though

    can you post a pic of the light you have? It is either an old style light, b-stock (2nds that have been repaired/warrantied) or a different manufacturer.
