amazon is where i bought mine its not a rigid brand but it shipped from ca instead of china i recommend looking at the sellers shipping address before buying example 40 inch led bar for 37.00 but your shipping would be 100 to 200 and wait 7 to 10 weeks shipped from china. mine has a 2 year warranty and cree leds not xml but it gets the job done bright as heck my brights look like a bitch compared. the seller i bought mine from is powerstation777

Mine was $117 on ebay. Prices have really dropped but quality is a crap shoot. I dumped another bar because it's output wasn't near the quality of my 2nd one

Yeah thats why I was eh what the hell. All someone needs is an allen key and wire cutters to jack it. Rather 100 bucks then 1500. The out put is awesome on mine just have to know how many lumens it is. But I agree its not built like a rigid I have to seal the seam so it doesn't short

Is your light just as bright as mine? How many lumens?

That was pretty much my thinking too. I figure it will be damaged by a low branch, Or I might end up rolling the truck or some oxygen thief rips it off. $100'ish is easier to suck up than $1500

mine is right at 20k lumens


I am thinking about painting my hood black due to the glare, it kind of sucks
unaimed and just the light bar

try either a black vinyl hood decal or black plastidip - both are reversible and don't cost too much.
