:0 question 1: how hard was it installing under grill and how much light do you lose. Q 2: how hard was it installing them in your bumper? Did you use a dermal to make them fit? And how did you mount it?!?

Thing looks mean

You'll find people who swear up and down that there's no difference but I've actually put Rigid next to some chinese lights (Amazon and Ebay), same size bars and same pattern; and while the actual LED's may be the same, the optics are not. The Rigid have more usable light at the same wattage as the optics are better. The light output looked almost exactly the same looking AT them, but looked much different looking from BEHIND them.

In short, not saying you should spring for Rigids, but do some research, pay attention to the reviews, and in a way you do get what you pay for.

Lol I wish I could afford to buy a $1800 light on top of my truck. I just don't want to throw my money at something that is going to die quick or turn out like crap

I agree wholeheartedly with SBarron. Here is how I have my 20" Rigid SR2 Driving LED.

Not a SLT but bright enough anyway.



i reworked the Procomp lightbar mounts to keep the profile low.

before:


after:










Chinese 288W curved 50" bar with wireless remote control.

The wind noise is terrible, above 70mph it's getting noisy, at 100mph it's killing me.

stock projector light low beam



high beam including the pair of vision-x ep910 in the grille




roof mounted light bar




got light?

 

[MikeBeck31]

Where did you get it Amazon? Worth the noise?

both my 42" and 50" are from ebay...and are VERY bright.

headlights alone

Headlights with lower 42" led bar

Headlights with 42" and 50" roof bar

as you can see...there's no reason to spend big money on LED light bars. I paid $135.00 for my 50" and $200 for the 42" (a year ago so they were still more money at that time.)
