I got it directly from auxbeam . Much cheaper than amazon . They were offering a coupon ending paying around 170 if I remember

So far no problem with wind , I read lot of complains about the lamp whistling but I guess it may be the side mounting bracket
Which I didn't use

Nice one. Looks like a good alternative to expensive Rigids. Keep us posted regarding the durability of your LEd bar.

I got an auxbeam one and no problems touch wood, bought it middle of last year. I have mine mounted on the front of an oem roof bar. You do get some noise with the sunroof open but not noticeably more than with the existing bars on there. Well pleased for the money. Rigid look well made, but how often are you driving around with them on to justify 5-8x the cost. Didn't use the existing side brackets, had someone fab some up.

If you see it close it is cheap but unless pay very good attention it looks like a fog lamp
Hi, would like to know what fogs u put in place of the DRL...and do they work nice to light the front up...my HID in the headlights are just ok. Need somthing so I can actually see at night

Those are the OEM Drl with a Piaa cover . I put a Led bulb (
Amazon.com: JDM ASTAR 1200 Lumens Extremely Bright 144-EX Chipsets 3056 3156 3057 3157 LED Bulbs with Projector , Xenon White: Automotive Amazon.com: JDM ASTAR 1200 Lumens Extremely Bright 144-EX Chipsets 3056 3156 3057 3157 LED Bulbs with Projector , Xenon White: Automotive
)which works very good but the light output isnt impressive.
It helps but I dont think it os a huge difference. I got it mostly to match the 6000k from the headlight

You can just replace the bulbs for the LED but If you need extra real light then go for the work lights such as the one I had installed on the grill ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G6...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) Those are powerful .
The one I got from Amazon are great but I will replace it for the Auxbeam when have a chance to match the roof bar

I really liked the way this guy mounted a smaller bar in the grille. I've never seen it done anywhere else on the 'net.
