    I was a bit concerned about the light output on these vs the true ARB Intensity. However, I'd have to drop an additional $600+ for the real ones. I figured I could get quite a few of these for the approx $750 that the real ones go for.

    I read somewhere on here the answer was no. I may try to use the included fluted clear covers and either paint or vinyl cover them (something along that line).

    They're more like $750 EACH. That's not even a set of two.

    I've been researching for a while now and couldn't find an actual answer. The covers are like $60 each anyway.

    750 each!! :boom:

    The cheap New England Yankee in me wouldn't ever part with that much cash for a pair of lights.

    Since all of the information on this thread has been about the lights mounted on an ARB bumpers...I figured I would share what I did, for the time being, in case others, without bumpers, were considering these...
    I am a huge fan of having round lights instead of the “typical” light bar on the front of the truck, and when I came across the “lumitek” (or something like that) on Amazon, I knew I had to give them a shot...I went with the 9in 96watt lights hoping that they wouldnt be too big. They are not. I installed them on the horizontal section of the front bumper using 3 bolts per light... the plastic they use for that bumper is pretty solid and I added 2 zip ties a light, attaching them to the grill...(not necessary, but just locks things up) the lights are pretty close to 4 inches thick (a lot thicker than expected) and the fit onto that bumper space with little room to spare. I love the light output, the look, and how solid they mounted...(not a huge fan of the knock off LED sticker) they are there to stay until a bumper is an option!61F01EC3-F069-4A5C-8F4A-2C068754286C.jpgE7E1770A-F83D-4D55-BAC5-FC10200770FE.jpg

    How is everyone mounting these? I like the low profile approach here.

    You'd be hard pressed to find anyone on this forum that gives a fuck what you think.

    Auxbeam sells a clone BD LP7 if you want something different than the clone ARB Intensity.

    I believe my side shooter ditch lights were on in this picture as well but it still gives you a good idea of the light
