I'm looking for ideas. So if you've got something on your truck besides an LED bar, let's see some photos

I still have my factory quads with upgraded bulbs from H11 to H9. Enough for my needs.
Originally i did an aftermarket bumper with a Niglight 32" amazon lightbar and Swatow DOT Fog ligts

Then i wanted a winch and hat bumper wasn't going to work with one so i bought winch bumper and added 4 Rigid D series pod Midnight optic spot lights. Plenty of forward light in a very compact package. Much better lighting optics compared to the Lightbar i had before in the other bumper bumper. Same fogs.

I have the Diode Dynamics SS3 SAE Pro level fog lights in the factory locations, they make a huge difference. You can practically drive in the city with just them and not get flashed.

A nicely placed LED bar isn't even noticeable. ;)

I liked this one because it has the extra LED in the enter

Also it had most the spot reflectors
I an see the roadside reflectors an easy 3/4 mile down the highway.
So far it has saved me 3 times from deer and antelope on the highway to/from work

Here's mine. A couple Hella 500ff's. I like the Pre-runner look! This is my lowbuck option. :) I wish I could afford a whole new bumper!

Would highly recommend upgrading the factory lights before aux lights... LED if you have reflectors, HID if you have projectors. That being said, I run Diode Dynamics for aux lighting. Great bang for buck.

Also not pictured... Rear facing amber chase lights mounted on the tonneau cover against rear window...

my old 2500.rear bumper lights on top were wired directly to the reverse light and the lowers were on a switch.i eventually added a second set to the bumper beside the other ones and took off the lower ones.

The instructions that came with mine were correct. There used to be an issue but I believe they fixed it. You do have to remove the tow hooks to get them to fit properly. I do know RED did update the instructions from the original, so maybe you did get the older ones. Feel free to reach out and I can explain what I did. It took a little effort but the bar essentially bolted right up.

Did you have any trouble installing the light bar? The instructions that came with mine are for a different bolt configuration for the tow hooks. I called RED to see if they have a set of diagrams for the PW.
