What are you running for Vision X bar?

I have a 24” VisionX XPR. In the circles of my bumper are VisionX 4.7” multi LED gen2 light cannons. I had the 25w gen1 cannons in previously.

I have reviews on this forum. If you cannot find them, I will do a search and find the links for you. Should make for a good bathroom read [emoji4]

XPR is a good one, I don't think you are trading up if you go from that to XPL ;) Maybe a little more spot light in XPL

100% agree. I was thinking of the XPL for another vehicle I own. Price point is pretty good and the back light feature is nice.

Someone tried the curved KC Hilites light bar i the sport bumper?

http://www.kchilites.com/c-series-curved-led-light-bars.html
When I hade 25% off it was time to try it out, nice even bright light but could have more distance. and there 23 year warranty is cut to 3 years if you drive on salty roads...

But for the price I payed it is ok, Next lightbar will be a VisionX one I think. Lets hope this one works "23" years :rolleyes:

Here in Sweden we hook our extra lights to the high beam circuit

so many options to pick from. 20" so I can maybe one day put tow hooks on, or 30" not using tow hooks, or 42" to completely fill the space in the bumper and forget tow hooks all together.

Cheap lights off amazon, more expensive/durable lights from reputable manufacturers, or all out rigid lights.

And on top of that I'm doing the AEV pod for all my switches and that's a $300 endeavor by the time I'm done.

I went with BlackOak LED and I use to use Rigid. Then even gave me a discount code. The only downside to the cheaper lights is moisture in the lens. I got tired of changing them lol

Can’t go wrong with VisionX. Their ADV series is my next purchase.

Change of plans. I ended not buying the ADV series like I was originally planning. Instead I bought a 20” Baja designs OnX+.

Which beam pattern did you go with? Spot or driving combo?

How does this hold up on the highway,backroads etc. what did you bolt it to underneath. I am thinking of doing this and maybe finding some industrial magnets instead of drilling holes. I’m open to options lol

Rough Country 20" x5 (additional row of lights through the middle) with the hidden bumper mount. Because of the additional row, the housing is a bit bigger than the standard light. I had to move the mount holes back otherwise it would not fit. This way the light is behind the bumper but shines thru the opening. Plus it also helps protect it.

I skimmed through most of the 92 pages. But I'm still going to throw this out there. For the guys n girls that live in states that require front license plates. What are you guys doing there? Because I can tell mine will cover some of the light. Are we removing the plate holder, cutting, replacing or what?

Trim the plate holder and move up the plate.
