bar light and head lights


Angelcbr

Recommended Posts

So, I saw a post of someone that installed an LED bar on the front bumper and am going to give it a try. The credit is for CARRITT11, am going to make a custom brackets since the LED bar is heavy, am going to attach it to the bumper bar. The LED bar that am going to use is from ebay, the brand is CREE and is 20,000Lumens. yes I know that's a lot!!.  and instead of getting another button am going to wire it to the fog lights that way I don't have to worry about getting another relay and all that mess. my foglights are LED already so the power draw is minimum giving me more for the bar. The second mod that I want is to make my headlights like the black "CROSSROAD" ones. but am not planning on paying 300+ for the headlights, instead am going to open the headlight and use black high temp manifold paint. the only question is that I know some people use an oven @250 degrees ,others uses a heat gun for the glue. I wonder which method is better since journey's headlights are huge!!   any ideas???

Nice.

 

How did you do the wheels?

spray can, i used black matte brake caliper paint cause its a high temperature paint. got it from advance auto parts. wash the rims with dish soup to remove any dirt and any oil from the rims and paint, i used 3 cans

because is not made for journeys at all, is an universal light bar, you need to make new conections and maybe brackets depending on where you plan on install it. i havent installed yet but i turn it on already and is very bright.ill upload a picture once it get dark here.

Nice set up.  As far as the Light bar goes, I've worked in the off road industry for years now and I know everything about the lighting and the competitors that are out there, it's part of my job.  The 20,000 Lumen rating is a paper number used by marketing to get you to think their product is bright.  When you plug that light into a LUX reader used by USA LED manufactures that China light will push only 6,000 effective lumens.
