Looking for non bro auxiliary lighting

[DEEZUZ]

Title says it all. I already have LED headlights and Rigid DOT fogs, but I do some very dark driving and definitely need some more lighting.

Don't want anything bro bar like. So looking for ideas on how to hide maybe a small bar up front. Maybe even some in bumper fab work.

I bought a 20" lightbar from tractor supply for 40 bucks. fits perfectly on my frontier replacement bumper. doesn't stand out or look douchy at all. somb!tch lights up the road pretty good.

Baja designs 20in bar. It blows Rigid out of the water.

I can't beat the output from my 4 lightforce striker 170s. 100watts a piece, outside two are fog lens and center two are clear lens for straight forward focused light. I have used them 100x more than the LED bar you see in the top grille...

But are these going to be too bright while driving against traffic? I feel if my headlights get any brighter I'll start getting flashed.

I Def want something that's not to be on while I have oncoming traffic

Depending on the money you want to spend projectors would be nice, and a good upgrade. You could exchange you Rigids for a light bar, or do a light bar behind the grille. The only problem is you can't run light bars towards on coming traffic they are to bright.

no, thats the point of a projector. Insane light that is in the right place so as not to blind oncoming drivers. When you hit highbeams, the shutter drops and there is no cutoff on the light anymore. Far superior to LED headlights.

And legal to boot! (If used in projectors like you say) I CANNOT stand LED drop ins when they are coming at me at night. I will flash you every time.

LED lightbars suck too, no matter what they say, the beam pattern is gonna be flood and you are gonna blind your long distance sight with super bright short distance white light. Yellow, focused light is optimal for cutting through darkness at a distance.

Ditto, we can do the retrofit for you, and any other custom options you'd want in the lights - or help you with your parts list. We've done quite a few here, and know exactly what is needed on your vehicle.

Here is what I ended up doing. I was like you, I wanted more light but didn't want something sticking off the truck. It's a 31"-32"curved bar can't remember exact length. I made my own brackets and bolted them to the grill. The back of the light was hitting a corner of the radiator so I had to cut some of the fins off the back of the bar.

Here is what it looks like during the day
