Default How bright is a 20" 8,400-lumen light bar?

Hey guys, thinking of installing a rigid e series since the headlights in my 12' KR are horrible. I would put the bar in the front bumper using the rigid kit. My question is what kind of difference are we talking? My wife has had a couple Cadillacs w/ HID and they're rediciously bright, just curious if a 20" bar will provide a similar day light driving experience at night.

Thanks!!!!

The rigid bars are bright as ****. It will definitely be an improvement.

It will but you can't use it when there is traffic in front. If you want nice low beams, an HID retrofit is the best option. Light bars are best used when tied or used with high beams.

I'm only looking for help with high beams....figured I'd use a relay to tie the bar to my high beams.

Exactly what I did with my three 30" bars. If I was going to do it all over again, I'd look at some VisionX Light Cannons.
