    Wanting to upgrade lighting !!! What’s everyone running for aftermarket headlights ? I had a rigid light bar on my last truck (which was amazing ) but not sure if I want to go that route this time . Is there a headlight out there that gives the same effect as a light bar does ??

    I don't think any headlight can give the same effect as a light bar. I just bought some fog lights from diode dynamics that really helped out. I didn't want to spend the $800 to get new headlights. The fog lights are really nice and they are street legal as well. I also just bought a light bar today as well as I travel a lot of back roads during hunting season.

    I agree I loved my rigid . I hunt as well and am on backroads a lot too ! The other day I was headed down the highway and passed a pro . His headlights were twice what I had ! I really like the hood bulge light bar idea but not sure how bright it is .

    What year is yours? Mine is a 2016 and has the old reflector lights. The newer ones have the LED projectors that are a hundred times better. You can buy the new headlights and put them in yours, but it will cost you about $800. I'm going with a 42 in light bar behind the grill.

    Its hard to tell. Could have been a retrofit, OEM leds, or Morimoto XB leds. The Morimoto is a step up above the OEM leds. The OEM leds are led reflectors and the Morimoto is an led projector.

    I am coming off of spyder headlights with toytec hid conversion and some led switchbacks for the drl and some squadrons in the dogs ... I thought they were great but the oem output of the new pro lights and rigid fogs put it to shame. I was so sure I would be throwing my Baja’s back on immediately but this combination has me rethinking
