I bought four 18 watt pods. 2 for the front, 2 for the back, and a 32” 120 watt Honeycomb curved lightbar. All from Auxbeam. After researching, felt comfortable with buying Auxbeam and not emptying out the bank account. Pretty happy so far. I went with the 32” because it was the perfect size to mount where I did. 36” too big, 24” too small. Yes, I can still get my hood off. I had to use braces underneath. I’ve got a lot of other crap mounted for hunting and I didn’t want it on the roof because it wouldn’t fit in my toy-hauler. Let me tell you this, the 32” is very, very bright. Longer and wider beam than I thought. I have the oem Honda aux fuse panel and switchplate and it’s limited to 10amps on the heater circuit which my 32” maxed out. I overfused it because it was pulling 11amps and I wasn’t worried about 1amp. Been working fine for a while now. You can’t use a 52” 240 watt lightbar through the aux fuse panel, if it truly is 240 watt, because it will pull double the amps the stupid little fuse box is capable of. I used the oem heater cable and accessory cables for ease of plugging into the box with the right molex connections. The cables are a little pricey for what you get but it makes for a clean install. The cables come with non-lit switches. Ditched them and put in red back-lit ones. The switches I bought weren’t compatible to Honda’s wiring so I had to move wires inside the connection block in the wiring harnesses. Been told you can find the right back-lit switches, but I went with what I had. For those using over 120 watt light bars and winches, it’s a good idea to look at a dual battery setup. You can look up the thread in the forums. Just passing along my experience. I’m no pro, just another redneck engineer!
