That will look good! For lights, do you wanna go halogen, HID or LED? Hella makes a model of each, as does KC Highlites and PIAA to start.

Id recommend Hella 500ffs, then throw some HIDs in them. Unless you want to spend more money

Hellas with HIDs are only $120 for 2.

but i guess ya have 3 spots to put lights on so i dont know wht you want

I really like some of the new LED lights that have come out. KC HiLites makes several models that are pretty reasonably priced. Certainly not as cheap as halogen or HID units but they draw a lot less power and really do throw out some great light.

Go with a hella 700 then. You can do a hid conversion the same with the 700 as you can with the 500, and you gain two inches in size.

Check local man, where are you in canada??

I looked into getting my 500ffs online and it would be about $30 just for shipping. The 700s are a little bit harder to find, but the 500s are sold at stores like greggs and acklands grainger

ok guys well this sucks!!! check out the email i got today after they told me they had none in stock and i asked what i could do to get it fast so they called smittybilt and this is what cam from it !!

Hi Julien,

I phoned down to Smittybilt USA and the light bar is actually still in
Research and Development and isn't scheduled to be available until the New
Year. I'm sorry. I will go ahead and cancel your order. Sorry we couldn't
help you any better. We hope you will consider us for your future needs.


SO now im on the hunt AGAIN for a light bar or something else

That sucks. Do you like the Westin lightbar that PD298 has? I can get you that light bar for only $140 with free shipping, and I have 5 in stock right now.
