About to get an nfab light bar with 4 lights. I like the piaa smr driving lights but need some input. Should I put all 4 of the same light and size or should I do 2 and 2?? Is the SMR what I want or is the ATP a better driving light or should I do fogs??

I ordered the N-FabF0930LD for LED bars.


Got it in textured black. Wont arrive til Feb.


Says its good for 30" light bars.


I wont buy the lights till I get the light bar in.


I want to install a bigger curved light bar and use the 30" spaced holes.


Havent found a 40-50" bar that has adjustable mounting standoffs under the light vs the typical end mounts.

I really like the look of 2 larger driving lights in the middle and 2 smaller fogs on the outside.

I think ill put 2 driving lights in the center and long range spots outsude. I an thinking about KCs instead because of the price. Plus the KC bar has the mounts on the back instead. I have also heard complaints about coating on nfabs.

I'm running 4 PIAA ATPs on mine. For MY needs, they're perfect. I have the middle 2 aimed straight down the road, and the outside 2 aimed slightly outward to cover the ditches and wood lines. I mostly use them on back roads going to and from my hunting lands. With the way mine are aimed, I don't have any gaps and they shine plenty far enough down the road. It's hard to beat PIAAs regardless of which ones you decide on.

My NFAB bar has the mounts towards the outside. I could be wrong, but I think this may be because of clearance issues with the grille when opening the hood. Depending on the lights installed, the grille may hit the lights on the bar? I noticed some NFAB bars have the tabs to the inside, but the ones available for our truck is towards the outside. They didn't make all of them with the tabs on the outside of the bar.

Mine are the 520s. I've tried in the past to get a decent night pic but haven't ever had any luck with it. This pic is on several other threads, but this is what my 520s look like on my bar:
