    For sure, I'm just still deciding between that one and the eyourlife bar everyone has been using.

    The one you're considering has 5W bulbs vs. 3W on the Eyourlife, so should be brighter

    I just installed a 28" Eyourlife last week. It is bright you can stand 50 ft away and can't look at light i mean it is bright. I got mine on Ebay for 57.00 plus 7.50 for harness. I had people looking out there window at 150 ft. To see what was going on.

    My first truck and I'm not very handy/mechanical. Trying to figure this all out, so I'm I'm loving all these threads and walk throughs you guys do.
    THANK YOU!!

    So you did yours with the L bracket and the Cali raised bracket together?
    That looks like what is pictured?

    I'm guessing everyone else is just using the L and the brackets that come with the lights?
    I haven't seen any other bracket set up pictured, so thank you for the visual.
    This does really help us mechanically impaired individuals who are looking to learn.

    what size is that specific L bracket? did it have holes in the L?
    Home depot or lowes?

    Teeko make sure the light bar is in the U.S. and shipping is from the U.S. . Some say in U.S. but ship from Honk Kong.

    yeah I made sure their both shipping out of USA since I don't like waiting 14-16 days for it.
    I might just go with the eyourlife one from Amazon prime.
    Seems like a few people on here have bought that one already and it has good reviews on amazon.

    I'm also debating whether to go with my own L brackets from the hardware store or buy cali raised brackets for $50

    Go with your own just as easy. Just make sure you get the height wright before you drill.
