    And its only got 3watt led's.. Most newer designs have 5 watt or even better 10watt led's. 23k lumens just isn't enough for a 50". My 21" puts out half that in 10 watts, with only 12 led's. This ones got 96!. If they were even 5 watts at least I'd be on it.

    Don't get auroras. Rigid will go cry to their mommy about it. Just get a different kind of china light bar. okledlightbars.com, blitzpro.com. They're just as good as rigid.

    I almost got a single row with the 10 Watt bulbs. But I went with the traditional double row because the foot mounts were the exact length I needed to mount underneath my grill guard.
    I was going to get this exact one:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/180W-Single...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item35c9997a78

    From what I read when compared with the same watt double row. The single row throws more distance due to the deeper reflector. See link

    http://www.rzrforums.net/wvoffroadgear-com/112625-new-cree-10watt-single-rows-look.html


    I have yet to see a 10Watt bar mounted on anyone's Tacoma or truck.
    I don't believe you can go wrong with either one.

    I've got a 10watt 20inch (twelve emitters) mounted behind my lower grill that is very bright even though I'm sure I lose some light due to the grill itself!!

    No offense to blitzpro, but no. They are nowhere close to the quality that rigid puts out. Not even a competition. I can't speak of the okled bars, but telling people blitzpro is just as good as rigid is misleading and will end up pissing people off.

    FOR 1st GENS...
    This is how i mounted the bar, in case anyone wants to know.
    I cut out the two middle tabs for the lower valance and drilled holes in the outer ones. And those tabs are pretty sturdy to hold it in place with very little vibration only on hard bumps.
    1380687724-9601402_2_zps407f09a3_d1392cf3e9fc7a60d835daa66793cf038f6c4215.jpg
    The mounting points on the bar itself sit towards the back so that made it stick out a bit but I'm happy with it regardless. If I get bored one day I might make my own tabs to extend it back farther in... I did have to do a little trimming to the valance to get it to fit, just used a razor knife. And some nuts for spacers as its a 20" bar and the length is about 21" from tab to tab. But here it is mounted.

    I also had some 8" 10 watters mounted directly to the mesh inserts, in place of the turn signal housings, but the aluminum mesh was too thin and started breaking from the weight and vibration. Still working on fabbing up some "L" shaped heavy duty brackets. 1/8" thick plates that will be mounted to the outer bumper bolts then using the mounts that came with the bar to mount on top of the plate. Also had to dremel out pretty much the entire inside turn signal area to fit them.
    (the 21" in this pic is an older one I had installed from superbrightleds)

    Zooperman...I had one of those single row Totron 5Watt bars you are looking it..they work great & it was plenty bright. The mounts slide to wherever you want, so you dont have to drill new holes if you have existing ones. It is significantly smaller than the double row. The only think I didn't care for was the "glittery" reflector in between the LEDs...looks kinda "Ricey".

    Zooperman - I was looking at your grill...have you thought about something like this to put on each side of your license plates? I am not sure of your measurements or budget.
