A little confused on what type of lights to run.I have Honda factory roof and tip out windshield. Also strongmade bumper. I was thinking about the square type lights for the front bumper. I believe that they have lower amp draw and would not be as problematic to install as a light bar.Any response would be appreciated. Thank you.

I put light rack with four LED's Two flood and two spot. Ordered relay kit, the hot to energize the relay to Honda wire harness and the hot to the lights to the fuse box I put under the hood for all my accessories. Works great

I will be mounting square ones on front bumper at some point. Can't afford anything on roof because of height in areas I ride.
I have an overhead door on my shed and have about 2" of clearance, driving into the shed.

The pics are deceiving. If you have the Honda top the rear of the roof goes up higher than the light bar by 1\2'' so height shouldn't be a issue. I too ride in low hanging tree limbs and never had a problem yet.

With LEDs the amp draw is really not a big deal - amazing amount of light for the power consumption. I personally run two LED cubes on the
bottom of my roll bar. We ride in a lot of TIGHT woods so keeping things low and out of the way is a big advantage for us. Really gives enough light for any trail riding situation at a normal sane speed....

No sir - Mission, all Alum with the Alum bed and detectable sides and ramp. Think it is a little under 700lbs with the spare on it.

I bought the lights off eBay - seems to me the two were about $25 bucks total for the set. Was just getting them for cheap backup lights but when I saw how nice they were I used them up front. Also have a set on my Mule pro and both are holding up great.
