Led Light Bar

[KONNMAN]

Hey guys was wondering if anyone installed a led light bar on the van? Was thinking about it, maybe across the windshield. I put one already on my bumper. I have a 03 Chevrolet express. I will upload pictures to night.

I like my small bumper mounted bar. I don't know if I'd go to a full length one ever since this lil guy does a pretty decent job on its own.

I have a 30" Rigid Combo on V4, love it.

Nice job tucking in that little light bar.Funny I have same deflector and aftermarket headlights. What bulbs are you using?
PS Curious looks BC in your pic.

Big fan of that front receiver. Did you make that yourself, or did you buy it? Looking for something similar for my rig.

Thanks guys

I'm using LED bulbs in those housings... They're OK but still not fantastic. They have a very wide spread which is nice for seeing in ditches at night but it also means they don't penetrate terribly far down the road. I'd like to go with a set of projecter HID's sometime.

I made the receiver myself. 3/8" thick angle iron bolted to the frame rails, 2.5" x 2.5" x 1/4" box steel as the cross member between them. Recovery hooks are bolted to the 3/8" angle iron.

Not BC... Close though Hinton, AB

Shoot me a PM when you are ready for the upgrade to the projector HID lights. My kits start with the same light housings you already have.

I have same housings as well, Id love a set of yours but the exchange rate is nauseating and I have too many things on my wish list.
1) use my damn van more...

 

[ert01]

Agreed. I wish I would have jumped on one of your kits 8 months ago... Now I'll just bide my time with these LEDs until our dollar is closer to parity with yours.

For sure, the exchange rate sure can be a killer. We can work something out when the time is right.

Back to the topic of LED bars, I am considering going with this unit from Morimoto based on the price, low profile design, output, fog lens and the massive 10 year warranty. I would mount it in the bumper/valance opening as well since that is mostly dead space that isn't well utilized. I deal with the guys at TRS quite often for my retrofit parts and they are stand up people for sure.

My set up. I love the light output.

REDOVAL which projector do you use for your retrofits? I used the FX-R 3.0 and found that's about the biggest that will fit. The one you use seems to be smaller like the Mini H1 or D2S.

 

[REDOVAL]

I use the mini h1, but I will be doing sets with the fx-r soon.
