Yeah, you have to watch what you buy, this one listed has depopulated modules, i.e. half the LED's, he says just the leading and trailing edge's, but any depop bars usually have depopulated corners as well, and are only $900 or so new, while expensive, it is really cheap in the grand scheme of things, we pay $1800 for the bars on our marked cars.

There are also different types of controllers, WeCan, which is Can Bus controlled and the SX bar, which has the controller on the I/O board. All of Whelens stuff has a date written on the tag on the bottom, if you buy one, do youeself a favor and try and find one that is 2007 or newer. The earlier bars had ballast's on the LED modules, they are no longer supported from the factory, so finding them may be tough if they are needed.

Great to know, Im not sure exactly what I want yet. I might go out and buy a full lightbar or I might just buy some flush mounts and drill them into the toolbox on the back and stick some in the grill.
