PIAA RF6 6000K 6" Light bar

Here I am to write my review on the PIAA RF6 6000k Driving lights.

**Disclaimer** I was provided with one of the two lights at no cost, in exchange for my review of the product.

Legalese out of the way, I wanna talk about these lights. Before spotting the opportunity to check these things out, I had a couple of 8" Amazon special $17 LED light bars mounted to my bumper, as a stop-gap till I found something better. I was hoping these would be that something better.

In the attached pictures, you'll see a side by side comparison of old vs new. Old on bottom, new on top.

Now, I'm going to be very honest about my personal opinion of these lights, as it benefits no one to lie. The fit and finish of the lights is top notch. Exactly what one would expect from PIAA. The body is well built, well proportioned, and very sturdy. The mounts are cool, as they can be attached in a couple different ways, so as to adapt to many different mounting positions. The back of the light has three slots where the mounts can be attached, though I feel they might be better served by one long hole, as opposed to three individual ones. That way you could mount the light in a position that's different from sides or center.

The lights came with quality wiring harnesses and NATO standard cab mounted switches, but seeing as I had lights already installed, I did not use these so I can't speak too much on them other than to say they look like every other LED light bar wiring harness I've seen, but with some nice additional sheathing and shrink wrapping for protection.

Mounting was easy as well, though I have no pictures since they're tucked up in my bumper and I couldn't get a camera in there. So the next pictures you will see are of the performance.

Pretty clear the PIAA's put out more light, and in a better dispersion. Impressive from these little guys.

THAT HAVING BEEN SAID. These are 10x the cost of the cheapo Amazon lights, and just not so sure that you get 10x the value.

So if you're looking for a lot of light in a small package that'll likely stand the rest of time, these little guys will not disappoint. But if you're looking for *almost* comparable light output, at tremendous cost savings, probably best stick to the cheapo pieces.

Here's a link to the PIAA's. And thanks again to @automatcentral for allowing me this opportunity to showcase his lights!!
