Default How are you guys mounting LED bars in your bumper opening?

What size light bars are you using? How are you mounting the lights and where does the wiring run to?

Thinking about an LED bar for the opening in front of my CAC and just trying to work out the details first.

Thanks in advance. Pics would be awesome!

I can't access the video at work....but...be careful of what they do in the install. I watched the one for a 30" behind the grill and what a hack job. Installing it behind the logo...wire hanging all over the place....no securing the wires...slicing through the grommet to the cab. Just bad.

Yea, I noticed a few shortcuts that I wouldn't take myself. Thanks for that.

Call me cheap, but I think I'm going to try the 20" bar from Amazon first.

I call that "smart" lol. I got a cheapo Amazon 30" one and it throws a lot of light. No way I'm paying $300 for one when a $60 works fine and is probably manufactured in the same factory not in the USA.

I got mine from super bright led. Com and with in 6 months it started to get condensation in it and the paint is peeling off.... I don't think they can take the abuse of being on the front of the truck. If it was more protected I think it would have lasted longer They have a "lifetime warranty" but you have to ship it in to them and ship it back in your dime. I think I am just going to get a Rigid buy once cry once.
