Am I just old? Or do others like round off-road lights better than light bars

    Are on the way!
    Round lights look good on those box trucksof the 70s-90s! As well as brush guards & roll bars. But with today's rounded trucks I like the look of the led bars.. Just my 2 cents tho...:pccoffee:

    I like the look of the old school round lights on the front of trucks. i'm on the fence whether to explore this on my new taco, or fit a 30" bar tucked behind the lower grill.
    i could easily fab some low profile brackets that poke out of that lower grill to mount a couple of round off road lights.
    does anyone have experience with these? good ratings and the price is right. low amp draw.

    might look pretty good since they are mostly black...

    I'm with you. I like the look of the round lights. I'm also playing with the idea of a windshield visor with running lights, or just a set of running lights across the roof. So 1983...

    Those long skinny rectangle LED bars just look stupid and cheap IMO. Like someone found utility garage light strips for $19.95 at Wal-Mart and thought they'd look "cool" on a truck.

    Yes, I'm old....:)
