Light bar and pod recommendations

what lumens would you recommend

 

would curved be better lighting than the straight? also it is going inside the NFAB mrds bumper should it be curved or not?

 

ok thank bro still hope i can see your truck one day....lol

 

I ran the BD wide cornering in white and wired 'em into the OEM fog light circuit so they're switched on the stalk. I want to avoid blinding on coming traffic so the wide driving lens aimed a little down works really well for the mountain roads I live on while still not blinding on coming traffic. BD squadron sports are brighter now than when I got mine so maybe amber like @Trdwillie14 's are a better choice. The only other light options from BD are the DOT approved and the S2 sport, IMO their other lights are too powerful for use on the road. Just my $.02 on fog lights

 

that's what she said too..

toytec started BF sales..10% off

 

What do some of you guys have here that are not to expensive but good quality?

 

I have the Baja designs sports in wide cornering yellow. They call them amber but they are yellow. They aren’t the cheapest option but far from expensive and I am confident that they will never die. They also have a lifetime warranty and are the only IP69 rated lights that can handle pressure washing. Worth the money.

I run them all the time and just aim them down a little. I may get one person high beam me a month

 

I have the Baja Designs driving combo sports and they're the tits. As far as for a big bar, honestly anything that's under $500 is all going to be the exact same shit from China. Companies make all these claims of how their's is different and better and whatever, just means they picked from one of three factories and got the same shit as everyone else. Lumens isn't the end all be all of lighting either. I had two 6" baja designs bars on my Land Cruiser and my friends said at KOH you could pick my truck out from 5 miles away among all the other cars at night since the light output and range drowned out all the huge chinese bars. Cheap "spot beam" bars will be closer to a flood beam compared to a high end bar with long distance optics. This isn't to say you should spend $1600 on a good bar, but there IS a difference. With that said any light bar will outshine your headlights in close range even if it costs $12. If you're getting a budget bar I wouldn't get wrapped around what brand, I've had lots of bars from Amazon and eBay that never had any issues at all and cost under $200; but if you have the coin to throw down for a fancy brand then it'll blow everything else out of the water.

 

I have 6 Rigid pods and my 30 inch is a DV8. The Rough Country seems to be a descent bar.

 

Another vote for Rough Country. I ran a 40” curved X5 light in this bumper. Very bright and never had a issue. I still run this light bar on a different bumper. Thinking of upgrading to the Black Series.

 

That's pretty nice for the rain

 

How do you like that nfab? I’m really contemplating on going that route. Or the rough country front and rear bumper. Just got my 2019 4wd crewmax 3 weeks ago haha

 

Love mine

Looks slick! Amber lights are a cool touch as well

 

Living on the coast it helps with all the fog
