Default LED Light bars

So I am probably going to get an LED light bar like this onefor behind my grill:

And either these for back up lights:

or these:

I know someone is going to say "you get what you pay for" but i cant justify buying rigids and the bar comes with a full one year warranty. Has anyone had any experience with ebay LED light bars?

I would find a light bar with plastic lens rather than glass. The back up lights will be very bright, you could find a smaller one and will still put out lots of light

I asked them that and they said it's toughened glass and if it breaks they will send a replacement for free.

I have a 120w in my grill, and its wicked bright, and it seams to be made well:

there well worth the cash the smaller thinner lights look more like day time running lights but should put out enough light. I got one for my bumber to replace the 6 halogens. just one 42" led bar puts out enough light to cancel out the low beam on my headlights

So I ordered just the back up lights and got them in today and mounted them but didn't have time to wire them. I might move them closer to the center but there were already holes in the bumper.

Where have other people mounted theirs? I kind of want them farther in.

I've got a 21" bar in my front bumper on my 2010 lariat. Bought it off eBay for $120 and it's bright enough to completely wash out my 5K HID headlights and fogs. Phones not letting me upload pics right not but can try later if you want.

Here's the bar.

My girlfriend snapped these on the way home the other night with her phone. This is my 5K HID heads and fogs.

Here is my heads and fogs plus the bar.


These don't do the bar justice, but it does give you an idea on how much light this thing puts off.
