    I have a 24 Tundra Platinum that came with what I consider great LED headlights. On my work commute I have a 5 miles road that is not only dark but infested with deers, and although the LED lights on the Tundra are great, they just don't go that far. I've been shopping for a bumper light bar that will fill my needs but there are so many I just don't know which one to get and hoping that you guys can recommend one that you know from first hand experience is the best for what I need.

    Picture is to show the light bar I'm looking for.

    TIA.

    Lots of stuff!
    That looks like a combo S18 from Diode Dynamics. Part driving and part wide beam.

    That would work and so would a light from Baja Designs and a few others. Budget for these will be all over the place but that is up to you.

    These can be very bright and blinding to oncoming traffic so you need to make sure you aim it accordingly.

    I have the Baja designs 20” behind the grill amber bar, along with S2 SAE fog lights, and love it. Buddy of mine has Diode Dynamics auxiliary lights (I think equivalent of S2 BD) and they seem to give out as much light - probably isn’t super easy tell any difference the light bars DD makes vs BD makes, however, I’ve seen some people talk about a more clear cutoff line on BD compared to DD. The BD bar has a DRL as well, which I think makes the front end look great. Really only downside in my mind is money, but I figured if I spend marginally more money on one nice lightbar, I will go a little longer before I inevitably want more lol.

    Here’s a pic driving out in the middle of the desert at night with low beams, BD fog lights, and BD 20” behind the grill lightbar: upload_2024-10-9_21-19-15.jpg
    Also here’s a pic of the DRL: upload_2024-10-9_21-22-32.jpg

    Love my diode dynamics. Considering getting Baja because they look better. Honestly from my research, DD actually has better optics, though. Baja has a better (white) color. Closer to daylight. A bit warmer, and will result in less fatigue.
