Want to install an LED light bar to improve off road lighting. I would like to mount on stock front bumper. What size and Cree or otherwise. Thanks for the input. MTG
I don't own an Xterra nor a light bar. I can only speak from my own experience with certain brands of off road lighting. The really expensive name brands will provide a higher quality LED, better IP rating, customer service, and warranty. I don't particularly like the look of a light bar which is why I don't have experience with them. But if I were to get a light bar, I'd probably go with Lifetime LED for the more economical side and Baja Design for the more expensive side. From the reviews I've read, a lot of people seem to like Lifetime.
The lights I use, and have used, include: PIAA LP570s (really disappointed with them), Baja Squadron Pros (awesome little powerful light), KC Flex (wasn't impressed), Rigid Dually (like), cheapo ARB Intensity Knock-offs (like), and cheapo 7" round LEDs (like).
If I did ever find myself splurging $1000 on lights, I'd definitely go with the new Lightforce LED/HID combo (LightForce DL230 HTX).
