Default Led Lightbar for ontop of my 2 hella 700ff bumper mounted lights?

I like the look of the Hellas but want a compact source of light that can be easily clicked on for small back country roads. I saw a 9.25in 54w led light bar on ebay and was wondering if any one has had a good experience with them or could refer me to a low price high quality compact led light bar? With out going overkill

This dude has some lightbars that seem legit. You might PM him to find out more or post in that thread.

On a side note how do you like your 700ffs? Are they driving or fog?

I like them but me being in California I always must keep them covered witch they look better with the covers on but whenever I need to use them it is quite the pain! So I figured if I could get a compact led light bar 10to 12in it would provide quick and good amounts of light. PS I own the 700 for my bumper and the 500 for in the middle of my windshield pillars and for about 20$ you can easily upgrade the bulbs to 100w witch makes a big difference!

I'm the guy from the link that was posted. Why do you need covers? The light bars are ip67 rated. The light bars I have are hanma brand. I bought 2-40", 1-30", 1-20", and 4- small square ones that are mounted near the windshield, all for 900$ through a group buy that my local Offroad club did. If you look on ebay you can find good prices on them. A 12 inch will prolly run you 100$. I had 4 hella 500s before I got the light bars And I can say they are not even comparable. Look up the lumens rating on the lights ( that's a rating that tells you how bright they are. I can say the small square pod lights that are mounted by the windshield are brighter than the Hellas alone. And they ran me 25$ a piece. Also I still have a 40" that I never used that I want to sell. But I want 400$ for it. Let me know if your intrested.

No sorry I meant I need to keep the covers on the Hellas. Also the 10in double stacked led light bar on ebay is 54w 4300 lumen for about $110 does that sound reasonable? And I won't to mount it on top of my bulbar that runs over my 700 hellas.

Take the Hellas off. You won't notice a difference with a 12inch led bar

I would put as big as one on the bumper to replace the Hellas as you can. And try that out. Then replace you a pillar lights with the square ones down the road. It looks like you might be able to fit a 14 to 20 inch one on the bumper.

First I'm going to get one 4in led square to put in the middle of the Hellas and then if it doesn't provide me with enuf light with all 5 of them on I will get one more 4in and put them on the pillars and get a 12in for bumper.
