KC Lights or led light bar?

[Kyle Reese]

Debating whether to get 2 kc lights in between the grille guard or a 21 inch light bar? They both would look good and im leaning toward a light bar but don't know what brand to get without paying over 250?

Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

I went with a light bar and it turned out better than KC lights

That's the most affordable but there are a ton of brands that use cree lights but have different brand names like there are tons of small brands that's what I cant decide on

I just purchased this: Amazon.com: ANNT® 24" Flood Spot Combo Beam-3w Led-120w-9000 Lumen Waterproof Off Road Led Light Bar Work Light 4wd Ute, for Utv, Truck, Suv, Side By Side, Polaris, Yamaha, Rzr Razor, Rigid, Ranger, Golf Cart, 4x4 4wd Ute, Jeep, Cabin, Boat, Car, etc

Rigid? 220 for 20" that can't be right

If you're going with lightbars I'd do 2 china bars stacked, would look pretty good I think.

That was my original idea I thibk it would look good but I wish I could find some place near me that sells led bars so I can mount it to see how it looks..if you've seen it post a pic please

My vote is for 55w HIDs stuffed into a few Hella 500's. LED light bars suffer when it comes to color temperature and range.

I agree, but I get the feeling that function is not at the top of the list of priorities here.

After re-reading the thread, I have to admit you're probably right.

It's both. I want it to look good and perform good I'm not experienced with either one I thibk light bars could look tacky

Why would you care in the first place if I did only want it for looks? LIke all I wanted to know which would perform better and lok better? If you're just gonna go on about I only want it for looks than just don't respond to the thread

To be fair, you never really mentioned how you planned on using your lights or what your expectations from your lights would be. How often do you plan on running off road in the dark? What other lights do you plan on adding; rock lights, back-up lights, utility lights etc. Are you running a winch? etc...

You need to be little bit more clearer on your expectations. This will allow folks to provide better insight to your question.

My own .02. If you're looking for quality and functionality you can't limit your budget. It's better to hold off until you can afford the light (s) that will perform the best for you. I personally think the 20"" hybrid flood/spot from Rigid Industries is your benchmark for an LED bar.

My vehicle is for overland expeditions and I will be running a dual battery setup with additional lights. I'm concerned about current/amp draw and the ability to run the lights with a winch as needed etc. Light bars are becoming the industry standard for off road vehicles.

I'm also considering "hiding" my EDS-light bar behind my "future" modified satoshi grill instead of on the bumper.

You could run KC's, PIAA, ARB, Squadron or other after market lights as well. If you're looking for symmetry then go with the KC lights since you already have them. They're a proven performer.
