Scooped up a $11.07 curved 32" Light Bar made by AutoFeel from WOOT thanks to @blackjackck I actually ordered two of them since they were so reasonably priced.

ORIGINAL THREAD FOR LIGHT BAR DEAL
Light Bar deal for anyone looking for one

Got 1 of 2 of mine in yesterday. Interestingly enough one of them is shipping from Jacksonville, FL and this one came out of Chattanooga I believe?

The box looked like it had been opened before, but it was taped closed again.



Everything in the package laid out, comes with a harness and brackets/hardware.



Brackets



The switch feels cheap so more than likely I will cut this off and wire in something that fits better to the dash. It does have double sided tape on the back though if you wanted to just stick it somewhere and run the wires in behind some trim.



"waterproof" connector on the light bar to the harness.



More up close pics of the bar itself.









30a Fuse and a Relay on the harness, ultimately for $11, its not too bad of a pre-wired harness even if the light bar is junk as we discussed.



I'm going to try to light it up in the backyard tonight to get an idea of light output, I'll use my DSLR so that I can maintain the shutter speed etc to get the best comparison of dark vs light.

The other idea that I had if I don't decide to mount it in the bumper is to make two suction cup mounts (with Harbor Freight suction cups) and then arrange all the wiring so that it could be temporarily "hooked up" to the battery and then suction cupped to either the hood or roof. This might be a good option for me as I don't have to havev it on the car all the time and can just bring it with me if I'm going offroad or somewhere I might need it. Of course then I don't have it all the time unless I leave it in the car, but I don't find myself unexpectedly offroad ever given my normal schedule/travel route.

If not a temporary solution for mounting, I'll make some brackets similar to those from Rago Fab to mount it in the front bumper once its a bit warmer out!
