    Looking for something in the 40-42” range to put on a prinsu cab rack. Any recommendations for a lower end light bar with decent quality below $250 price range. I’ve seen the Cali Raised ones... is there anything cheaper worth going with? It won’t really get used too much(few trips a year), so I’m not looking to spend top dollar. Preferably a spot/flood combo.

    CaliRaised is about as crappy as I’d recommend.

    I have a 42" caliraised for the prinsu and a set of caliraised ditch lights because I cannot justify spending $800+ for one lightbar with similar light output. They look and work great, zero complaints. Wiring was easy as well and they have the option to come with an OEM switch.

    I did the cheap route, just as an interim solution. It works, but will be going with the Baja Designs S8 next for the amber dual function. I agree with @T4RFTMFW . Don't go for anything below Cali Raised.

    GG makes decent/cheap bars, and I believe they have lifetime warranty. Cali raised is very active on here and I think their support is top notch as well. Don't have much experience with their lights, but I know the armor and other gear is good stuff.

    It looks awesome. Never tested it at night.

    I had a mishap with the harness I was sent when purchasing 2nd hand. I have the correct harness now, but need the time to wire everything up.

    Just clear. It has the amber backlight option. I thought that's what you were referring to, sorry.

    No you're correct, that's what I was after, the amber "clearance" lights essentially. Just the two center portions appear to have amber covers or it's just the picture haha.

    man you can't go wrong with KC's warranties and the C series bars. I love mine. See if @Taylor@KC HiLiTES has any specials, coupon codes or "factory seconds." He's hooked me up big time in the past.
