    LED light bar, Measure between the outside light mounting tabs and order one to fit. Amazon is your friend.

    Do they have ones that have adjustable mounts ? Ive Seen the mounts on the ends of the bars but I need the mounts with the bolts that point down. It will be hard to find one that lines up perfectly unless they can be adjusted around the bar

    There are lights with the mounts on each end, lights with a single mount under each light and you can also get light mounts that go around the tube itself.
    I cut the light tabs off of my Nfab bar and mounted the light with 1.5 inch tube brackets. Take a look at my avatar picture. I bought everything I needed off of Amazon real cheap including the remote to operate the light, all the wiring is under the hood and the remote is stuck to the lower dash with velcro.

    Is that a 20 inch bar ? Little hard to see the close up. I'll have to try it on my computer.
    I saw Amazon has a 20 inch bar and wiring on the daily deals today for 55 bucks
    Thanks

    See build thread
    I think 3 larger rounds would look best there, but it's totally up to you based on looks and what you need the lighting for! Here is some info on some of our round lights that I posted in another thread the other day. If you decide on pods or a bar, let me know as we have totally different options for those too! I personally would think 3" pods would look too small there, but that's just me!

    @MalooTheRoo is running some of our lights, as seen in the picture below (the black 3rd Gen) and a Tundra shown. We have round lights available in our Pro6 line, in the Pro-Sport line, and in the classic looking Daylighter lines. These are all available in LEDs, and the Pro-Sports or Daylighters are available in HIDs for the absolute best lighting performance. Click the hyperlinks here or the photos to be taken to the products' webpages. Below the Black 3rd gen, are a photos of LEDs lights in the Pro6 pair, followed by the Pro-Sports, then the Daylighters (also on the red Tundra).
