I'm old, so I grew up with using KC Daylighters as the gold standard of off-road lights.
I was told that those new-fangled LED light bars have some amazing output at a fraction of the power draw.
I installed a 26" 360 watt model off of Amazon a couple of months ago, but just yesterday finally wired it in (I HATE electrical work on vehicles). It's now dark on my daily commute home from work at 6am, and the deer have been moving more, so I figured it was time. Wired it up with the included harness and used a switch that looks like OEM and popped into an empty slot on the dash. Super easy.
I drove home from work this morning and tried out the light. Holy cow!! It was like turning on the lights at a high school football field. Lit up the whole area. The light was only $60 and since it's been on my rig, hasn't faded, rusted, or fogged up and seems to be holding up fine.
The light on my rig...
Driving home with high beams on...
And with the light bar on...
