Default Aurora LED Light Bars?

I'm looking to replace my old halogens with either a 20" Bar, or a 10" bar and two 2" cubes.



I came across Aurora LED lights that seem to be similar to Rigid but with better prices and read some decent things about them on other forums. Does anyone here have any experience with these? I have heard good things about Extreme Offroad LED but these seem to have better light output, longer range, and possibly durability at not much more cost.

Just wanted to update the thread with the bars that I got in from them about two weeks ago. So far they have done nothing but thoroughly impress me and I would recommend them to anyone looking for Rigid quality and durability at a fraction of the price. These are not the cheap chinese knock off lights, thus why they are not dirt cheap. I live by the "you get what you pay for" motto, and I expect these to last nearly as long as Rigid, if not the same.

UPDATE: Got the main bars in, one that I will do tomorrow will be aimed back and tied to the reverse lights (2" Cube in Flood Pattern)

Pics:

I can get some more tomorrow when it is light out again, but heres some night shots.

Finished install on the bar:




Headlights Only:


Headlights and two cubes (Spotlight beam patterns):


Headlights and 10" Bar (combination pattern):


All lights on:


Just LEDs on:


Switches (3rd to be used for my reverse cube light tomorrow):

Looks like they have some serious heat sinks on those. A good thing!

To answer everyone's questions and not crash the servers by posting more pictures please see this thread in the model year forum I made:

https://www.f150forum.com/f4/aurora-...mplete-220195/

As for the holes, yes they were dremel'ed out.

The two cubes are not brighter than the 10" despite looking that way, the 10" is just aimed more at the road and the cubes up since they are spot beam pattern.

Power for the front is drawn from the battery directly. They came with relays so I just ran switched 12V from inside the car to the switches and then out to the relay under the hood. So only two wires through the firewall for the fronts.
