Thread: Light bar recommendations

I bought a cheapie off trade me 8 years back for the pajero.
Worked very well and lasted.
It was maybe 125 down from 170 or something like that.
Very happy with it.
Don't have to have a name brand, just got lucky I suppose

I went Stedi light bar with mounting and switch kit for my VW ute,
However I think if i did it again I would drop to the smaller one, went 31.5" but its too bright for everyday use,
definitly don't want to be blasting any on-comming driver. and yes I know it should not be used for on road.
Fine on long open roads were you can see on coming traffic a long way out, but not so good on the windy stuff i mostly drive on.

I wired mine into the high beam switch.
Which seems to cause contention depending on who does the warrant.
Old undated rules about single headlight i think.
But no you have to have a single bar theoretically wired standalone but a pair are meant to be off the high beam.
Silly

Mine is wired into the High beam circuit but has a separate switch.
So for warrent time it is left turned off. When I want it, I turn it on and its on/off with the High beam.
Sometimes I will turn it off early when I see a car coming but may want to let it get a bit closer before taking High beam off.

I am big Narva light bar fan and have fitted 3 others to mates utes and they love them…
Also heard good things about stedi but not tried them
