    I have a Eyourlife bar on relentless fab roof mount brackets. Haven't had any issues. Just make sure you put the correct side up otherwise you'll have wind whistle

    I just put this light bar on the bumper 2014 OR. So far I love it. It is plenty bright and it wired up easy. The only issue is it whistles when I'm going about 65 on the freeway with a cross breeze. But other than that, no I have no complaints.

    Get some nice HID headlights and you wont need a light bar .... i have both and really dont turn on my LED bar but i think my headlights might be a little on the illegal side. Also i boughy my bar on Amazon and only issue i have is the allen screw keeps backing out im sure a little red goo will fix that

    If it's just drop in HIDs then yes you are blinding everyone. You've essentially dropped a bulb in a housing that it wasn't designed to operate in, thus light scatter is unavoidable no matter how you adjust your main beam.

    Have you not seen people driving around with the stupid ass blue headlights that intermittently throw light in your face as they drive on by?

    enough to have fun
    I have one $20 for a 20". I've had it about a month so far. Had it though a blizzard, a few car washes, some mud, and a lot of cold weather. Still works no issues.

    What brackets/mounts did you use to get the stealth look behind the bumper?

    I used the mounte that came with the light. The 31" bar with the brackets is the perfect length to bolt into the aluminum blocks that hold the front bumper. I used 4 1/2 inch screws and dropped them them through the hole in the blocks and secured them with a nut and some locktite. No drilling required and no modifications to the truck required. Here are a couple images of the block I'm talking about and where I mounted the light bar.

    The photos are stolen from brandonbryan12's post on 05-11 front bumper removal. I can post some of my own images later this evening.

    These are the two blocks I'm talking about.

    This is the hole where I placed my 4 1/2 inch bolts.

    ive had an Amazon light bar on my truck for 2 years now. its bright as fuck and cost me $70.00. if it stops working or breaks ill just purchase another one. most of the bars come with the harness and a switch but i purchased my another harness thats not as big and a "toyota" style fog switch. all in all i have less than $120.00 in the whole set up.

    I'm made the mistake of not putting silicone and one crapped out on me.

    Picked up a single row with lower bumper mounts on Amazon this week. Think I spent less that $90 for the brackets, a QDY 150W single LED 31" bar, MicTuning harness and a switch that fits the blank by the headlights. Took me a few hours to install but it turned out great. I'll post pics later.
