Bulbs or Bar?

Happy Friday!

Longtime reader with a what I’m sure is a question that’s been asked a ton of times so forgive me.

I’ve got an 18 SR5 4x2 and I live in the country but all on road driving. Tons of wildlife….I want to upgrade my lights but don’t want to blind oncoming traffic. Am I better off just upgrading the bulbs or is a light bar the thing?

 

Please don't drive toward oncoming traffic with a light bar on. It seems to be a trend in this area, along with 24/7 high beams.

Note that light bars and other offroad lighting is generally prohibited on pavement, but I never see that being enforced. It's kind of a free for all and just up to common courtesy these days.


Doing the H11 to H9 conversion on the low beams is a big benefit. Also, dropping some LED bulbs in the stock fogs and properly setting the height can throw a lot of light forward. Of course, the fogs will blind oncoming traffic also, so please turn them off in that situation also?

 

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

 

Skip the bar

get some Ditch lights. Far more useful. I’m running rigid dually SS and they get by far the most use of any lighting I have

 

You're welcome!
