Default F150LEDS.COM light bars

I've read good reviews about them, but I think their prices are high. I'm looking in adding the 42 & 22 led bars. Anybody have any experience with other types of bar?!

Thanks

I'm thinking about the 22" bar but have to get the offset plate mount for my 5.0 since MD requires a front plate. I like the stick-on button switch that they include as opposed to cutting for a rocker switch

I got an EYourLife bar, and I like it. Decently priced, and the day after I installed it, I went to a carwash to test it out, works just fine, and seems tightly sealed.

I bought the 32" grill mounted light bar. Was convenient as it came all in a kit but not worth it in my honest opinion. I bought another light bar, the exact same one, for less than a hundred dollars. It had all the same hardware as the one from f150LEDS. So I basically paid $250 for the switch harness etc. then one thing that I really did like was how the wires were wrapped in good sheathing. But you could do that yourself and probably save $150-200.

i believe rigid makes a kit where it keeps the factory plate and uses 2 pod lights on either side of the plate.

Appears to be a good kit but they're only rated IP67. From what I've read you should be using IP68. However they do offer a 2 year warranty so they should cover condensation for the first two years.

What does IP68 stand for?

I did liked the warranty too. Most of them give you only 1 year
