Which LED bar should I get? More pictures

Post by Whelan »

I'll be purchasing these very soon actually and installing them. They are water resistant and comes to about about $30 for two bars. Only thing I'll need from you guys is some help with the wiring, it's been awhile. Opinions are welcome!But I'm getting white

It's amazing what you can do with some spare shims and extra LEDs. I made the two bars. The one on the left is the 5.5" with 9 LEDs made to scale and the other is the 4" with 6 LEDs. Only the 4" will fit at the angle. Let me know which you think is the best place to mount.

Mounts with a 7/8" pipe clamp so I'm thinkin I'm gonna get some black plastic parts. The kind that connect where you screw, and put a very small self tapper right in that side there. The other option is to cutout the black grille area and mount there so its flush but you wont see them as well if they are far back. Put them on the edge and at the angle and they will look good.
