got it for free bud. And it’s a good thing I don’t live in New Jersey I guess, because I’ve actually found it pretty useful for when I’m driving on back roads or out in the woods where we live. Makes it easier to see the deer that are on a mission to ruin your night also. I guess if you never leave the pavement that’s got street lights overhead, then maybe you wouldn’t need the extra light, but I use it. Thanks though.

I will have to disagree with your comment saying they are 100% useless. I use my lights on my F150 and my Jeep quite regularly on my deer lease. Most of my hunting comes at dusk, and if I am lucky to harvest a deer, it is pitch black by the time I find it and start gutting it. I have LED bars on my truck that allows me to illuminate 360 degrees and in the bed for gutting. I use my 10" single row bar on the road to illuminate the truck front bumper to 25ft out (pointed down) to look for obstructions in the road (since our SC roads are one of the worst in the country). I use my rear facing LED cubes for backing up in dark parking lots. Just because some people buy these bars to look cool, others (like me) have a practical use for them so you can't say they are 100% useless.

Rant over.
