SHOW ME YOUR LIGHT BARS

The light bar is a 5D 32" 420W Philips LED Light Bar, that I bought for $69.00...

 

$69?????? From where?

Does it light up the road well?

 

I'm curious to see how that turns out! I definitely like the radiance you already have in the grille
Did you tie all of your lights into one switch, or are you still running all of the switches separate?

I feel bad for anybody that cuts you off

 

The strobe function on the hood buldge is extremely bright! I don't use my lights unless I'm off-road since they could blind an on coming driver. It is a cool experience to go fishing at night and use the lights and you can see like it's the day time.

 

@Almaboy, ebay... 5D 32Inch 420W Philips Led WorkLight Bar Spot Flood Offroad 4WD Truck ATV UTE, sold by OFFROADPARTS. $69.00 + $10.00 shipping...

 

That's a lot of switches! Very clean looking install with where you put them though.
I was also shocked at how bright the strobe was. I'm the same way, there's been times I want to strobe someone who does something stupid on the road, but it's WAY too bright to do it and not feel bad. So far my main uses I've got out of it was setting up camp after dark and showing it off to everyone who's asked about it

 

How many bars is that? 3?

 

Yeah they're really helpful working at night, lights the whole place up. They're all behind the grill or bumper cover so they don't project as much light as one just out there would.

 

Which bars did you go with?

 

Very nice looking. Which bar did you get?

 

Was it plug and play or did you have to do any splicing?

 

I have 3 40 inch Genssi bars.

 

I added a 30" Rigid Radiance light bar today in the bumper.

 

Where are you getting power for all of these lights?

Looks good by the way

 

I have a 4 gauge power wire from the battery to a main distribution block. Each light bar has individual fuses.

 

What size fuses?

 

Do you have an external hot bar at the battery?

 

I have Different size fuses for various lights. Some are only 10 amp some are up to 30 amps.

 

This is how all of my lights are hooked up.

 

Damn!!

Are you lighting up Yankee Stadium?

 

Have they held up well?

 

I run into working at night alot and these lights really help. 1upper probably has more light output than my setup. Mines a bit more hidden also those rigids are one of the brightest lights out there.

The switch bank I built has held up great, about 6 months and atleast 40 thousand miles with it installed. The lightbars have given me no trouble. I have considered swapping them out for morimoto xtorch lightbars, mostly for looks. You get what you pay for with lightbars it really depends on what you're looking for.

 

Ive got a question which may have already been answered, but how did y'all run your wires into your cab? i like scooted my big grommet over in the firewall and put mine to the side but I don't think thats right. Did y'all drill a hole in the grommet or anything?

 

I ran a 4 gauge wire from my battery terminal to the blue sea terminal. I located my blue sea terminal on the passenger side engine bay near the firewall. Then I located all my relays to the passenger side firewall near the blue sea. Then I drilled a hole with a for my 1/0 gauge firewall bushing. If you only need to run one or two lights then you don't need such a large firewall bushing. Here are some pics of what I did for my install.

 

Hey 1Upper whats the led strip the one jus below tailgate? One from Rough Country? What size?

Thanks 1Upper!!! Dont ya live in San Antonio?

 

@1UPPER
I might have already asked but do you have battery terminals detached from the battery? Or is that plug box looking thing in your photo a few posts ago where you are hooking your light's power?
