    Ideas on Light Bar Mounting Location

    I'm thinking of buying an LED light bar, however, I can't seem to think of where/how to mount it so I'd like it. The main concern is, I can't have it on my roof if it's higher than the roof rack. I park in a garage on a daily basis and this is what limits me from lifting the Ex higher...

    LED Headlights

    Hey all, What does everyone think of LED headlamps? I've always loved LEDs and the technology is taking off lately. They require a ballast like HIDs, but I think they would work better in reflector housings, since they seem to focus their light a bit better...
