Message: [QUOTE="RyanD, post: 1133401, member: 15844"] Figured I'd chime in here, since I just went through a lot of this. I picked up a "cheap" Cree from an Amazon vendor for $120 (It was supposed to be a 20" but I was sent one DOA so I decided to go bigger). I'm sure many of you guys have plasma cutters or access to one, but I did not. So the tow hooks presented the biggest issue for me. Ended up taking it to a local speed shop for $40 to cut them off. I probably could have rented a cutter, but for the cash I was happy to let someone else do it. I think they got the mounts hot and bent them slightly, because now I have a 1/4" gap lower than normal. You can't tell unless you're next to another 250. I'll probably pull it all apart over Xmas, bend them back a bit and remount. The other issue are the mounts for the light. I went with the KD fabworks mounts posted earlier in this thread, and they were a bit steep ($60) but worth the cost, they're made so well. One thing to consider if you're doing a 40 is to pick up some tamper proof bolts. The bar sticks out about a half inch from the bumper, so an enterprising sort with a hex key can steal it pretty easily. Overall, I'm very happy with my Cree. The first time I flicked it on at night in my neighborhood it literally lit up the night. I suppose I wasn't expecting much from what I'd read of these vs. Rigid, but I can't imagine being much happier. Although, I do have the nagging feeling that "A 20" WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER".
