    Best Offroad Lights Ever?

    http://www.rigidindustries.com/category_s/64.htm

    They beat the LED bar with a 2x4 a golf club, drag it behind a car, shoot it with a gun, and stil 66% of the LED's work perfectly. And it is water proof

    Might be my next lighting upgrade!

    Those have been out for a while now. They are nice but are BIG $$$$$$$$. You could buy an armada of HIDs for the price of a pair of those. But they are nice...very nice.
    They run those a lot on the King of the Hammers rigs.

    Hmmm, very interesting lights for sure. The major problem I anticipate is their two(2) point mounting system/bracket, as opposed to a traditional single one(1) point bolt-stem mount. The two(2) point mount system will negate being mounted on front brush-guard "light tabs" as found on nearly all aftermarket front brush-guard/bull-bar type bumpers.

    The newest auxilary lights I'm most impressed with are the new "wireless" lights by WARN Industries (yes, the same people who manufacture the WARN winch). The "wireless" lights by WARN don't require running any wires through the firewall, and instead use a transmitter placed within the vehicle's interior. Very slick!!!

    But they won't put out the light the LED's do or the dependability. I think the warn "wireless" system could be retrofitted to any system.

    They do offer a U-joint attachment which simplifies installation to a single mounting point if you are lazy, but finding a place for and drilling 2 holes is not what I call a major problem by any means. And if you have enough money to buy these I am pretty sure you could figure something out.

    These are far better than bulbs, as stated on their website: the #1 reason offroad racers love them is because there is no fatigue to their eyes because of vibration, also these have been proven by offroad racers to decrease their opperating tempertaures by up to 10 degrees, increase fuel economy, and completely eliminates bright and dark spots created by beams (bulbs)

    On the right application, the bars would look great, however they need to come out with some different form factors. They are pretty damn boxy, but they perform so well I probably would consider them.
