So on my last build I put a cheap 52" light bar just under the roof line and a pair of fog lights up on the bumper. Here is a link for what I had. Only at the time it wasn't in a kit like this.

They all held up well for over 18 months with no issues. I thought they were pretty bright....Everyone looking into them thought so anyway....

I also had some cheap o's on the back for lighting up the bed and seeing in reverse.

SO, I am looking for input on different lights. If I can get more light output and use fewer lights or smaller lights that would be great. It sounds like Rough Country has some good options. @ohanacreek has a 20" on front and @joeymt33 which lights are you using? I know Rigid makes good lights but I'll be damned if I'm spending that kind of money. Thanks for any input.

The rough country 12” is what I have. It’s all I need. Then I have 4 rough country X5’s that are amazing. I shaved weight and over 100 Watts so I’m super happy. They are more expensive though. But not Rigid expensive.

I had some old MicTuning 2-LED spit lights that I really like that I put on the bumper for some longer range. They help round out the set up.

I’ll admit I copied @joeymt33 he’s using a 12” rough country, and the same X5’s as I and @Ragnar406. @snuffnwhisky was where Joey got the idea he has a 40” RC single row I think.

The RC lights are surprisingly bright and solidly made considering the drastic difference in price from RIGID.

The dueling tree is 125yards from the light bar.

Take a hard look at Rough Country.. I saw those guys above (@joeymt33 F @ohanacreek ) document their install and I put a set of the X5 cubes hanging off the rear seat belt housing..
