    Pretty sure thats about 1/4 the cost of the 50" light bar....

    We could get you hooked up with 2 or 3 lights with HID's and you will have plenty of light for not a whole hell of a lot of money.

    The LED bars are the way to go. I am gonna add one in the lil rectangular cut out in the bumper of the Dmax.

    I like the LED bars. Rigid is one of the best. That price is retail. When your ready to swipe the card let me know and I will see what I can get it for.
    NCT that makes the brackets is local, his stuff is good, and he has no reason to lie about the lighting.
    There is another led manufacturer that is sold through transamerica to 4wheelparts. I don't know the name but I get those cheap. The best bang for the buck was the HID's at o'rileys, With the red rings. I have vision X on my truck and like them but I had a deal through them a few years ago.

    Ive never seen one of the bars in person to have an opinion on them other than thats alot of money for lights. I agree with those regarding the HID's. Ive got 3 sets of aux. lights im waiting on the HIDs to arrive to retrofit them into. 3 55w kits and rectangle glass lens aux. housings for $200.

    However the aircraft landing lights did catch my attention on that same website lol. Even then you could buy 5 of them for the cost of that light bar.

    Or something like these.
    I considered getting one of these hoping for great results to make a mockery of the thousands my fire dept just spent to outfit our truck with scene lights of the same style.

    That 50" bar might be expensive, but for the intended use, it isn't that. Intended for a fast prerunner or race truck, where everyone used to (some still do) put 5 or 6 8" good quality HID (Hella, VisionX, Soltek, etc etc) you are spending 1500-1800 easily, plus having to fab up a beefy light bar for the lights and all that combined, probably well over 100lbs. And not to mention the drag those lights cause. Most trophy trucks are capable of hitting 140mph in the rough, at night through the same section with the lights on, they drop 10-20mph.

    That is just my .02 cents
