    So I am on the fence:
    Do I get a bracket and do 2x2 or 3x3 rigid lights?
    or do a 10" rigid light and bolt it in?

    The rigid cubes can get expense quick; and the bar could be a better alternative.

    I don't know - what are your guys thoughts?

    PS - and no I don't give two chits about street legal. ;)

    i am leaning towards raptorlights.com as well.. looks like they spent some time and energy getting the fit and finish sorted.. and i like that we can custom fit which lights / colors we want..

    I say you open up the wallet and get a kick ass aftermarket bumper! Then you can increase your lighting options...

    I went with the B.D. setup. Pretty impressive for the size of 'em. 20170428_090455.jpg 20170430_104952.jpg

    Yea - I think I am going to buckle and get the ultimate with the squadrons. If I am going to use them I might as well blind everything in front of me when I do.

    question - what do the amber lights give you? Any actual need or use for them?

    The BD lights can be fitted with a number of different color lense filters. You can change them at will. I put the rock guard yellow on because of the heavy fog we get here, and they work awesome at cutting through it.

    I just ordered this minus the 3" cubes. I already have the Radiance Amber lights from Rigid not installed yet.

    Was considering BD Squadron Pros + S2 Sports - how do you like them? Did anyone compare those to BD Squadron Sports? I know Pros >> Sports, but trying to see (real world) what is the difference...

    Here's the BD Squadron Racer Edition LED Spot, Squadron-R Pro, LED Wide Cornering and the KC Flex.

    If you call Raptor lights he'll put together any combination you want

    A few more pics of how they came out.

    I wanted a good long range beam, a good mid range wide bean and then the flex for short range.

    I haven't had a lot of night driving but so far i'm happy with the setup i chose.

    Anyone up to making an install pictorial? These look fantastic!

    I would like to "steal" from your learnings on the best way to route the wires, etc.
