ohhhhhh ooops i thought this was for the elite thingy. "coulda had a v8"

Installed and hooked up my driving lights. The KC's are long range lights and the driving lights are Rigid Industries LEDs. Love the way it lights up at night.

Looks good man. Can't wait to get my super bull bar. I've been looking at the KC daylighters long range. I can get thoese rigid industries lights through my work. Was thinking about using them on the rear part of the basket as extra reverse lights. Real high up might be something different. Light set up looks really good man.

 

[01STrunner]

Thanks man. I love both of them. I got the slim lites since they were willing to deal at the show. The long range is awesome. Easily twice maybe 3 times brighter than high beams. The LEDs are great because they don't have a focus point and are just bright everywhere. I'm pleased with both and those LEDs would be great for on your basket.

I just got a 30" LED light bar from this place:

http://www.trailworthyfab.com/LED-Light-Bars/

No they're not American made like Rigid, but from what I've seen the quality is good enough for a weekend warrior like me, and I can live with the price too. I'm sure you won't get warranty and service that Rigid would provide though.

Anyway, the below thread has some pretty favorable reviews of the product that Trailworthyfab sells, as well as Trailworthyfab's reputable service:

Anyway, the 30" bar is going to go behind my grille once I swap it out with my new grille insert.

EDIT: (not my pics or vids, just copying pics from the thread above)

the housing on these seems strong enough:

and they seem to be fairly waterproof:

Bright too:

Really the only bad thing I can see about these is the glass lens can be broken if hit hard with a rock. I plan on putting a sheet of Lamin-X over the glass on mine to add a bit of protection there. Between that and being behind the grille I think it will be reasonably protected from rocks.

Looking good guys! I just took the mud graps off til the winter

 

[01STrunner]

Ah man that sucks

I know it does but it cost so much money in gas keeping them on especially with the tire on the roof. I spent over $100 in gas last week. I'll put em back on before it snows for sure. oh BTW my ABS light came on the other day while going up an incline. I turned the truck off then started it back up and it went away. Weird i know but made me think of your ABS light problem.

 

[01STrunner]

Yeah these things aren't good with gas one bit. That's interesting about the abs light. Luckily it went out though.

I don't want to clog up this thread with a "how to", so I replied in your other thread http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=367375

I'm doing a write up over the weekend for my 30" light bar, keep an eye on the Performance Lighting forum.
