    I think some of the best are Baja Designs and Rigid but they are pricey!

    There are some company’s that make brackets like Cali raised and Rago fabricaton and also sell light bars.

    Rigid. Buy once, cry once. Worth every penny for the build quality and performance.

    The only way I’d spend $1k+ on a light bar is if I needed it all the time in all kinds of weather. If it’s for the occasional camping trip, truck meet, etc forget it - go with an eBay special

    Baja designs hands down. I’ve owned cheap light bars, mid Price, and rigid in the past and they all leaked. I thought I had crazy good light output and when I switched to @Baja Designs i was blown away. Plus they never leak, can’t say that about all the other bars.

    Baja Designs is the best.

    Rigid is damn good.

    Then there’s a bunch of others.

    +1 Baja Designs. Great build quality and warranty. Their 5,000K color is less fatiguing on the eyes than Rigid's 6,000K. Just my opinion though.

    I color matched my front bumper too and got rid of all the chrome my limited had. Don't have second thoughts doing so. Looks good.

    That’s me too, mine’s an Amazon special less than $100, survived 2 winters. It’s wired with a factory looking switch in a blank spot on the dash that’s fuse tapped so it’s backlit only when the ignition is on.

    I remember someone here had one from HR and it was getting condensation inside, don’t think they replaced it. Even on some of the premium ones it’s a good idea to apply silicone to the seals. I should have but haven’t. Plenty bright on backcountry campground and rural roads, I have it slightly angled up.
