Light Bar

Post by LeslieAxley » Sat Sep 08, 2012 12:55 am

Hi, I am wanting to put a light bar on my 99. I plan on making one of the $10 light bars bc they are pretty low profile and I was wanting to put the rectangle lights on the bar bc I think they look better but think that a 6" round light would work better. Does anyone have pics of the light output of any light bar. Ian just curious to how well they work.

Im thinking you will be greatly disappointed, take the number of bulbs divide into the watts and that will give you the wattage for each diode, these probably equate to a Christmas tree bulb, it will illuminate but not much penetration into water.

This will come down to, you will get what you pay for :|

Whenever someone has a link to a website that sells whatever the subject of their post is in their sig, they are a spammer. First post + commercial link in sig = spammer.
