I have this light bar on my 15 silverado....not really impressed with the amount of light. It's like it's all flood and there is zero focus to the light. I would definitely stay away from the niilight wiring harness...somewhere in this thread you will see some pics I posted where it caught fire on me!

Actually....to be 100% honest with ya, I bought some Xenonhids LED fog light bulbs for the same truck, THEY put out greater light than what that niilight bar does

That's exactly what I was thinking lol the other good news is it almost works for what I need it for. I was only wanting it to illuminate UNDER the snow so I didn't think I was flying warp speed thru star wars lol

That's actually what I'm looking for. The HID upgrade gives me very good front coverage. I need a little more of the shoulders on some of these back country roads.

 

EasyEMan - that looks good. Did you weld your homemade brackets to the radiator support?

These are the ones I bought. Now mind you, I have the reflector housing just like everyone else, so the light kinda goes everywhere, but they still work way better than I was expecting. Very easy install, I paid the extra money for the "cancellers" like they told me I needed. These are just capacitors for those that don't know. Well, I installed with them on and the lights did not work. I took them out of the line and everything worked great, no warnings, no flicker.

As for the light bar, mine came with brackets, I just drilled the two 45 degree arms in front of the radiator and ran 2 bolts and 2 nuts with no issue

Nope, just drilled holes and bolted on.

Haha that's hilarious cuz I just had a Star Wars light speed experience the other week coming down the mountain when it was snowing

So to be clear you guys that dont have custom brackets, youre just drilling ahole dorecrly thru those support braces and mounting the light bar with that strictly those 2 holes?

 

 

I was thinking about getting that flat steel bar from home depot, mount that to the support brace. Then mount the light bar to steel bar. But if i can directly to those cross bars with no bouncing issues or anything i will save time n money and just go that route

[STFDFireman]

I bolted straight to those Cross bars....no issues what so ever...don't waste your money on added steel, just get long bolts and you're fine
