    Alright, can not find anything about this so here is the question. Which one should you place on your truck? A light bar or pods on the bull bar? :typing:

    I personally like light bar better. Pods in my opinion stand out too much.

    I had pods on my BB and then switched over to a lightbar. More light and fuller coverage. Of course then I put pods in the Fog light locations, so I guess my answer would be both.

    They're ok, not as bright as the ones I have for ditch lights. I also upgraded my fog lights to these too, makes a big difference.

    Are you going with LED's for both? There is difference between brightness and illumination. LED's are bright, but does not always illuminate well.

    I personally think round pods tend to blend in better with factory round lights (in the front). But if you want your lights to be hidden, then bars will be easier to hide. I really depends on the look you are going for.
