ARB Bumper Light Installation - input

I want to put some spotlight/light bars on my taco, but i can't decide what combo to do. I have the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar with a Warn winch. Do you think I can get a light bar in the small slot in the bottom middle above the winch? Light bar on the cab? Spot lights? What combo would you go with?

 

You might be able to get a small bar in that slot.. But beware that is where your Hi-Lift points are.

Here's my current config..It will be changing tomorrow as one of the round lights broke last trip out.

 

I will give you my plan which is to keep the factory fog for...foggy weather. They just work well. I have ditch lights that gets the light up and out to the sides that works well on the trails. Then I have some 55w Hellas up front. They are weak compared to the leds I have on ditch lights. So I would either flank that winch you have with a pair of leds or go for a light bar in the front slot. I would try to get a light bar with both a 30 degree Cree lights and 60 degrees for max spread....if it were my truck.

 

If you relocate the winch box you can install a 20" led bar like I did. It's a single row with 10w per led. I would love a pair of arb intensity round lights. One day...

 

Here's my update.. Minus the cyclops since everyone thought it was silly.

 

Check out Expediton Overland's YouTube series..the year they used a Second Gen Tacoma..they had a pair of Rigids single row on their ARB.

 

like this?

 

@paranoid56 YES! Do you like having them there? What brand/size did you use?

 

just a pic i found. i have some coming this weekend that i will be installing in my ARB bumper just like that. will see how it works out.

 

Late to the party but here mine.

 

Paranoid Fab... as you know, I have been seeking a clean LED option for my ARB. Well these single row lights are almost as clean as you pod fog mount. Do you have any additional details on it? how does the light mount?

 

Mine are Diode Dynamic. Love them. Perfect fit

 

Those look great!
Did you have to drill a hole for them?

 

i never actually ended up installing them, with the squadrons in the fog light holes i never felt i needed to fill that anymore.

 

I did not. I literally used 3M double sided tape..the red stuff, and built the rear up....then I made a slope with it so the LED lights would be more on a downward direction. Very sturdy. I actually did it before I put my winch on, and took a while to take them off...they're in there pretty good. Put them back on the same way with new tape. No drilling or anything.

 

Hey guys,

I have created a simple write-up on How-To Upgrade from Halogen to LED Bulbs in ARB Fog Lights. I wanted to share with the hoping of helping someone else with the mod!

Cheers!
