    Can’t speak for the hood bulge light but I picked up the RC lower valance light bar and have no complaints. Light output is good and function has been flawless. No indication of moisture intrusion although I do live in the desert.

    Check Caliraised as well. Similar build quality and they are having a month long sale.

    The center bar is RC (for now). The fogs had to be changed to Rigid SAE's to be street legal.

    Cali and RC are similar in quality. Ive read that the brackets from RC are a bit more beefy. I watched the install vid for the Cali bar and it looks like you have to remove the grill and bumper to install so the light can be installed behind the small lower bumper grill. I like that Cali offers some nice switch upgrades.

    Is it too bright to run with your headlights?

    does it add any light output or just act as accent lighting?

    I dont think it's to bright to run with headlights but it is really bright I noticed traffic signs reflect more of the amber light. Here's a better picture 20211122_125421.jpg

    Accent lighting. It's an led strip, not a light bar.
