Don't have any of the setup. I'll try and get some tomorrow. Basically what I did was use the arms that came with the light. They bolt to the side of the light. The feet stuck out to the side too much. They were hitting two other brackets behind the hole in the bumper that had two large bolts in them. So I flipped them around and mounted the feet to the inside. The light came with some bolts but no lock washers so I had to locate a couple of those. I then lined up the light and used a grease pencil to mark the mounting location of the legs. I used a drill bit and drilled the holes. Next I mounted the legs and bolted them down with the supplied bolts and the lock washers I found. Then I bolted the light to the legs.

Agreed. The output on this thing is outstanding. I was a little disappointed at first. It was still light outside and I turned it on and was a little underwhelmed. I just thought to myself, "Wait until its darker." Later I drive around my neighborhood and turned it on. It seemed bright but the light was hitting the road about 12-15 feet in front of my truck. I went back to the house and removed my bumper pads and readjusted the light. HOLY COW! What a difference! This thing really puts out tons of light. It overpowers the stock headlights so much. I drove around with just the light bar on for a while. It covers everything with the flood/spot combo. I am extremely impressed and immensely pleased with this light. Next to my wheels and tires this is my favorite mod so far.

Thanks Black! This light is totally worth the 3 bills I paid for it. I am quite sure Rigid makes a great product with an outstanding warranty but if you are looking for a more cost friendly alternative like me I believe this light may be for you. Thanks again to http://okledlightbars.com

Haha thats dedication. Thanks bud. Light looks great tho! I have a 30" SR rigid and want to compare the out put because at that price I want to put a rear facing 20 or 30". I have some of the 2x2 OK LEDs but I'm waiting a bit to get them installed. Here's a pic of my 30" SR. The snow has a little glare tho. And I payed over double for what the 30" double row costs from OK. These are great value in my opinion.

Yeah I agree. Can't take anything away from Rigid's product. They make great lights but these from OK LED's are a superb value purchase. Next I'm gonna get a couple of the quad lights from Chris to use as backup lights.
