    no, we are still waiting for the harnesses. since they are newer, larger, 5w bars.. the harnesses need to be custom made.

    Bright and focused or just bright? to me its about reflector angle I want a concentrated beam when I go out at night after seeing Kyle go from digidiodes to rigid it was night and day even though the dd one had more lumens the rigid was more focused and threw the light better

    its all spot ;)

    he did a comparison video of his 3w bars.. one being a 50" radius. the output is fantastic.. distance and ditches lit up great. cant remember off the top of my head what it was.. but its in the video.

    but.. just because its not rigid doesnt mean its shit.. I'm all for helping the little guys out.. dont care about the brand name and dont want to pay for the name either. these are made from the same components as the big brands.

    That's awesome I cant wait to see how it performs videos of lights never do them justice. And as far as the rigid comment I know that you like supporting the little guy... he sells rigids too :) I like them because of their warranty their being local and the quality of the harness and everything they come with and I'm willing to pay that extra money, it's all personal choice. I seriously cant wait to see how it performs I cant decide if I want a 50" yet...

    true.. but just seeing the difference between the 3W and 5W is impressive in itself. even with a camera not picking up all of what it is.. you can still see the difference. and yes.. he does sell Rigids.. i passed on those and went with this own bar. we will see obviously.. but they have a 5 year warranty and all the other selling points Rigid has. i went with the 50" because the bar on the roof look started to grow on me. especially with me visualizing it with a black roof wrap. :)

    Yeah thats going to look so sweet :) I cant wait to see it. You should get your windows tinted so you stare at all the people sipping hatorade as you fly past them and not worry about them seeing you... tint has other benefits too though haha
