hi just just bourght a led light bar only came in the mail last night. i bourght it off ebay $205 sent to my door. i thought i'll take a couple of crappy pics of how my car is and compare it to the new light just to see how good the ebay stuff is.

[orangeshannon]

theres not to much difference in the lights. i dont the the led light bar on tonight i just took these ones and will be fitting the light bar up tomorrow and will post pics once its dark

[orangeshannon]

it dont look to bad its just how it works i guess. its the 14 inch bar

[orangeshannon]

almost there had some probems with the mounting due to that where the holes i had to drill were right on the end of the brakets and the bolts wernt going in properly so now i gotta get some new longer ones. so i decided to get the toggle switch sorted out. so i found some ally checker plate drilled three holes in it for three different switches one for light bar, one for room light and the third will be for something when i think of it. im no metal worker or have the propper tools to make it look really good but i did what i could on the little bracket

[orangeshannon]

my mum screwed me around today by making me look after my brother only managed to get the light bar installed not wired up yet. and because she made me look after my bro i couldnt get my wire relays ect untill 4:30 just befor the shops closed and turns out that i got the wrong type connectors bugger i have to wait till tomorrow to wire it all up

[sjzook]

Will look good mate! Keen to see the test pics once u try them

[orangeshannon]

yeh compaired to what she looked like befor she looks much better. i will take another pic of the light bar going once wired up at night light them other pics i took of it how it was

[dono1]

Keen to see night pics too!

[BAZZOOK]

Mate. That radio?

I'd just keep the LED. I recon they'd be good for winding bush tracks .Zooks hardly need long range driving lights.

[Trypt]

why didnt you keep the spotties and mount the led bar on the top of the bullbar?
then you would have another switch to fill the gap on ur switch panel

[fordem]

It would have been nice to see picture comparing the LEDs to the spotties.

[abclarke]

No light bar test pics yet?

[orangeshannon]

update i wired he light bar up i had probelms withi blowing fuses turns out my switch packet was telling me to wire it up this way and turns out that it was wrong but i fixed it. i got the light working very bright went to the end of my driveway at 2 so was pretty bright and you could see the light shining on the house (about 20 meters+ away) tonight when it goes dark i'll take a couple of pics for you all but so far very happy with it.

[orangeshannon]

i got rid of the spot lights cause they were crap they wernt much better than the high beam lights just made it abit brighter and they looked crap

[orangeshannon]

all pics taken after each other the light made my camera change setings thats why the light bar pics are darker im guessing. will do night pics when it gets really dark

[orangeshannon]

just took my zookie for a spin to try out my ebay led light bar. i am very happy with it. i took a pic of all the three stages of lights just to compare i took it in the same spot as the pervious pics of my $40 spotties. enjoy

[orangeshannon]

Sorry Fools these are no where near the same as the lightbars I sell.

Many loads of cheap shit out there. i'm not going to harp on too much because you get what you pay for really. A cheap light bar is a cheap lightbar. There is a reason they are cheap, low lumen/watt LED emittters, Cast alloy housings instead of Extruded Alloy housings like the ones i do, cheap imitation lexan lenses not real lexan lenses, inaccurate and misleading light output figures, non stainless bolts used which will rust...the list goes on. For a lot of people these will do the job. I tested all these type of bars that these sellers are bringing in and the ones that shep linked to close to two years ago now and I didn't rate them. The Aurora bars are expensive, but they are many times better in light output and build quality.

I would sell a cheap lightbar but I don't want to risk my reputation with a product I wouldn't want to run on my own vehicle. Hence I stick with the Aurora Brand. Towards the end of this month I'll have single row 5 watt lightbars that will blow everything else out of the market in terms of light output. They are going to be brighter than the 3 watt double row bars I currently do.

Sorry for the hijack Shannon, i don't mean to rain on your parade mate as you are obviously happy with your purchase and thats great. But it's important to know the differences in the range of bars out there because to the uniformed they all look very similar but performance is dramatically different.

My mistake! Thanks for the clarification Dan!
