    I totally understand wotrking on a budget but I would highly recommend BenBacher here who sells Rigid Lights. In my experience, it would be better to save a little longer and get one that has a lifetime warranty and is at the top of the market.

    Nothing wrong with buying within your means but better to wait a little longer and get the Highest Quality when it comes to LED Bars. You basiccally get what you pay for.

    Good luck.

    I went Rigid with my man BenBacher and Sierra Expeditions

    I disagree but to each his own. I don't think i would get 1000 dollars of utility from a rigid bar that performs (marginally) better than my 200 dollar ebay bar. I could buy 5 of them for the price of one rigid and would rather buy 5 of them.

    Agree to each their own. Thus my comments but if you want to do it once, and do it right, Rigid is the way to go. I have been around for sometime and haven't seen this kind of quality on any other LED lighting I have put on vehicles.

    I have a few others, even bought here on TW on a group buy, but there is no comparison.

    It is all what you can afford and if you can wait. Lifetime warranty means, buy it once and if a light goes out, they repair or replace.

    Went through all 57 pages. Loving the lights! I'm not sure tho whether I want to put a LED bar in my grill or in the lower valence. I would go with a 30" tho

    Has anyone seen or used adrenaline lights brand led bars?

    I have a friend who just got some and he likes them so far. from what I am seeing, the company is very new. Their prices are decent (125 for a pair of 4" bars and harness and 165 for a 20" bar)


    I'm hoping that they are a good company and are lower priced because they don't have a name yet, if that is the case, I may have to pick some up

    In preparation for mounting my roof rack lights (stupid FedEx) I mounted my switch bank and switches yesterday.

    Same spot I'm mount my 3 switches. I have to make a template for my blue sea block panel to mount on - not much room under the hood on this AT ATRAC thing.

    Do they tell you their output (in Lumens) or anything? I'm sick of these lighting companies posting pics taken with the camera pointed to the truck and not at the output.

    here is the website that is still under construction

    http://adrenalinelights.com/

    here is their instagram that has a few pictures and videos

    http://instagram.com/adrenalinelights

    from what i can tell they are really new and started as a small local company somewhere. I will get to check the lights out first hand when I go home for spring break. He sent me some pictures of his in the fog housing of his jeep commander, they seem pretty brigh all things considered

    Interesting. I might be interested in a 20 if I can get some information on lumens and such.

    Can't really tell until they get their site up, but from what I can barely see in some pics they look very similar to bars I see in eBay;
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/126W-20-Cre...Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e866a92ab&vxp=mtr

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-inch-126...Parts_Accessories&hash=item2336b3ba7d&vxp=mtr

    Not saying they're bad or anything, but to me, it sounds like another us seller that purchase these bars from out of country, namely China, and resells them for a profit here in us. Not sure tho, but something to think about and check into.. If anything maybe they'll have better warranty and certainly better shipping times.
