I like to do night drives in the country and I have been disappointed in our factory high beams for their reach and illumination. Sure, they work fine for reflective surfaces, but on the roads I drive, I need more overall light. I've tried different bulbs and saw little difference. The HIDs are great for general driving, but the cutoff means that the can't illuminate well if the road is rising and falling. SO, I have been looking for a driving light solution that won't ruin the lines of the car. I think I found one. I think it works with the lines and looks damn hot.






Here is the link to where I found it. http://bit.ly/2FOwvPs

I installed it by using galvanized fence parts from Home Depot, modified into brackets and bent to fit, painted black and attached to the stabilizer bar behind the front bumper. I had to trim the grill a little bit, but not enough to show.

I'm going to wire it into my high beam circuit with a relay, though you could do a three way switch to have it work with the high beams, or seperately.

Thanks!

Looks tacky to me, but as long as you like it and serves your needs, that's all that matters

Crazy how much light those small LEDs can throw.

As long as they are hooked to the high beams. There are tons of morons that are putting high powered light bars as "trail lights" (in quotes, since most of them I see are on brodozer poser trucks with blingy chrome wheels super high lifts that never see off road) on their lifted trucks and run them full time at night, blinding the living p!ss out of everyone else on the road. Those people deserve the clap.

Looks fine, be sure to take some pic's of how they light up the road. Take some with just the high beam and then with the light bar. My wife and I also take long night drives(leave at 6pm and get home at 9 or 10am) in the Sierra Nevada mountains or coastal range. We put anywhere from 500 to 700 miles on the car on our night drives and I've always wanted more light so let us(ME) know how they work. It would be great if you could take some pic's of your brackets so we can see how you made them.

+1 on making them work with the high beam, that way all you have to do is shut off the high beam to kill the light bar. Been blinded by cars/trucks that had a separate switch for the light bars and it took a while to shut them off after their high beams got shut off.

Maybe if they were hidden behind the front grill insert they wouldn't look so bad. But yeah, they kinda stick out like a sore thumb to me as they sit.

Car Analogy

Not a fan of the look. But then, you wouldn't have them on daytime, so hopefully they blend in and you don't notice them.

Agree with B, it is amazing those little things could put out that much light.

How many amps (milliamps) do they consume? May not need a relay at all. LEDs very efficient.

I'm wondering if they could go higher up in grill opening, under the 'ledge' of the bumper grill opening. That way they'd be hidden from view.

I don't think these will do much for "light on the road" as they're not focused anywhere Use as DRLs seems useful.

I would like to see pic's of how much light these put out and where the light goes. They sell this light bar as a "Flood & Spot Combo" so the middle lights are spot with the outside lights being flood lights. With 5040 lumens these should put out around 2000 more lumens than the high beam lights. I run a 7200(flood) and a 9600(spot) lumen light bars on my Jeep and I light up the road more than a 1/4 mile in front of my Jeep, lights it up like daylight.

I also noticed that the pic's on the web site for his light bar has the spot and flood pic's reversed. Don't know what that says about the light bar, but it's poor quality control for that web page.
