Due to a blown out budget on my recent rebuild I had to resort to cheap light bar & rear LED work lights. I wanted to spend $500-600 just on the front light bar. Instead I got 1x 25" bar & 2x 7" rear lights for just over $200. I was a little apprehensive about it until I hooked them up. They stated they were Cree LED's, the light bar was supposed to be 13,600 lumens & is a spot/flood combo. I looked at a lot of these things. I wanted a single row of 10W LED's with majority spot coverage & spread on the outside egdes. A lot of the bars I saw had the spread about 1/3 of the way in which is useless because the spot on the outside will overpower the spread. Spread reflectors NEED to be on the outside edges to be effective.

So I ended up with a 162W two row of 3W LED's. But honestly, it's great. It costs $140 incl postage. The rear lights are 36W & have hybrid spot/spread reflectors & are excellent. They cost $70 incl postage. Both sellers have 100% feedback & postage was quick. You usually get what you pay for but my mate (who never spares a dollar on quality) & I were both amazed at how good they are.

Here are the links. If you're looking for cheap, good quality LED lights then I recommend these.

Throw up a pic of them in action if you can. I'm looking at a light bar soon.
