LED Light Bars

I just did this today

 

Used the switch it came with, don't have any place to add additional switches without cutting things up. Center heated seat switches too far and don't think it's the best location. Right on the steering wheel column is very accessible and doesn't block or interfere with any adjustments. Put a 30inch 5d bellow grill for better wide angle then plan to move my 30inch 4d bar to front roof rack and a single row 30inch 3d facing the rear on the rack as well with the switches most likely right next to the other one.

 

5d vs 4d bar will mount 4d behind upper grill or roof basket

 

Finally got a light bar. 50" radius dual row from LED warehouse. Under $300 and looks/ performs amazing. Will get some action shots when i get er out in the open to show the light output.

 

Random shots to keep it goin.



This 4d with 10 watt leds has some crazy big projector lenses, heh. Looks funny from the side up close. Still not sure if I wanna put the 3d back in or not.. Not caring for the more intense beam not blending well with the other lights. Can't tell on roads. But turning or in close quarters it's way noticeable. Much more intense and whiter than my others.

 

What mount is this?

 

Had a local shop custom make me some to put it where i wanted it. If you are interested i can make contact, it looked like he made about a half dozen using my truck as mock up

Can you take some pics of the mounts an how they bolt on I take it you drilled them on

 

So I just picked up these 120W 7" Round Spot lights (10Wx12). You mostly see this design with only 60W (5Wx12)....but I happen to come across these for $134/pair with 10,200 lumens each..so why not. These were to replace my horrible Hella 700FF HID conversions. They might have been a decent idea 5 years ago...but the beam pattern was always horrible and the cheapo DDM ballast took a full minute to warm up. I was never happy with them.

Any who these lights are bad ass. Just what I was looking for. I need something with a thinner profile than the Cannons to fit my grill guard. I have a 300W double row 32" Cree Spot light bar...which produces more of a Euro-beam in my opinion. So I was looking for a concentrated long range spot for long distance. The construction seems top notch and they are very heavy. The only negative comment I can say is the adjustment up and down doesn't have much fine tuning. It has this plastic gear/cog wheel. I wasn't able to set the vertical where I wanted, so I ended up putting some shims in the front to get them to aim up just were I wanted.

Headlights and 32" LED Bar




32" LED light bar and the new 120W x2 LED Spot light . Yes they completely over power the 300W 32" LED Bar.




Headlights and the new 120W x2 LED Spot light . This after I optimized the aiming at a long distance. Bottom of the spot on top of the headlight beam and at a distance the gap in between completely closed and the spread is perfect at a distance. I will try to get some long range photos this weekend.



I would love to see a side by side comparison with the Cannons everyone has

 

This is what I'd like to know as well. Not much available for the access cab world since we don't have the same mounting holes up top like the double cabs.

 

Careful with this mod boys and girls. 3" flush mounts came out super clean. @Yotamac did the cutting. Takes a steady hand.

 

No bolting. We wanted to keep it as flush as possible to minimize obscuring the weather stripping on the door. You can see in the photos how little it is displaced by the bracket. We rivited them in place. Bonus is if we ever decide to take them out or relocate, the holes are minimal and easy to hide or patch. Here are a handful of snap shots i just took after driving 15 hours, sorry its dark if you need more in the light let me know. The brackets wrap tightly above the door pillar but have about 1/8- 1/16 of an inch clearance.

And here is also how we ran the electrical...

 

Did you use a tapered adapter between the light and bumper to "square up" the lights so they point directly back?

 

What is the difference between 5d, 4d 3 d

 

3d - led with reflector housing emitter, not as long distance/wide, can see emitter
4d - led with projector type lense - focused long distance beam, more narrow not as much flood, looks dark when looking at bar when off
5d - led with reflector and projector type lense - more flood lighting and distance whiter look to bar when off







5d vs 4d bar will mount 4d behind upper grill or roof basket





5d bar





4d bar

 

Thank you!!
