    sorry if this has been asked. i read about the first 15 or so pages and figured i would save some time by asking.

    i am looking at 2 options, a 30" combo single row (dont think a double will fit_ in the lower front bumper using a RI mount, or the widest one i can fit on a BAMF mount behind the grill. What i want to know, is are the lights recessed to far back to get the most coverage to the sides from the floods? i am worried that a lot of the beam to the sides will be blocked by either the bumper or the grill.

    i need as much light thrown to the sides as i can get with out having to mount smaller individual ones out to the sides. trying to bridge the gap with looks and function. I need all the light for driving up very dark, winding roads in the NC mountains.

    thanks.

    Sick! Stop showing this bumper! Lol. It's a toss up between elite and this one.. I just think a plate bumper would make sense for me. Plus I'm not sure if a bumper like that would look good on my truck.

    I love the look, it's just I've been set on a plate bumper. I'm not really sure why I don't think it would look good. lol

    OK's are sweet. Tons of people on here have them and I haven't heard one complaint.

    Getting a 10k lumen replacement for the 21" in bumper. One in there is from superbrightleds.com It kinda sucks.
    Turn signal ones are 8" floods from china- 10 watt led's 3440 lumens each
    Being shipped now is the replacement 21" combo from china- 10 watt led's 10,320 lumens
    Saving for some vision X products.
    43" bar that produces 38,454 lumens for the roof.
    4.5" 1000' light cannons
    = ~70,000 lumens!

    Where is a good place to buy OKLED pods? Looking for a small inexpensive set of lights to go in a plate bumper.
