No this review wasn't sponsored by Lasfit. Just happened to be in the market for an amber light bar to compliment my pro-grill on a 2020 ORP. If you are still interested, read on.
I live in the snow belt area of Ontario. White out conditions are normal and can happen with little notice. A white light bar might be useful in lighting up the desert but i needed an amber bar.
I ordered the 22" bar because it was the only Lasfit size available that would fit in the top grill mount location. I would have ordered a 27" bar if they had one available. But, luckily for me, there are 2 push pins on either side of the radiator support which when removed provide a perfect mounting location using the provided hardware. No special
mounting brackets required. I like to avoid drilling holes because it's just another potential point of corrosion up here.
Although the centre grill support needs to be removed (4 small silver philips screw and the top bolt), no other trimming is required because the unit is only a 2.5 inches in height.
I ordered my light bar with the wiring harness but opted to put an oem style switch in the open spots. The relay was mounted on the inner fender existing threaded holes using an M8x1.25 x 10mm bolt purchased at the hardware store. It's at this point that i realized that the positive battery lead was about a foot too short. I patched an extension. I was kind of peaved at having to do this since Lasfit charges almost double for their harness compared to others on Amazon.
It took me about 1.5 hours but it really is a very simple install given that the bar fits in the existing holes.
As opposed to putting spot beams throughout the centre of the lightbar with floods at the sides, Lasfit put a combination of both in the centre. Looking at the pics, i think i would have been happier with the traditional approach.
If Lasfit's screwless front case (which supposedly improves weather resistance) holds up through the Canadian Fall rains and Winter snow and ice, then given the price point, I would recommend this light bar. No it isn't the brightest light bar available but it will compliment your low and high beams in inclement driving conditions.
Note that my low beams are H9's.
