    Looked on the site and haven’t found things specific to my question. Originally was going to get ditch lights, but few things I didn’t like about having them.

    Had a coworker install led kit from rough country https://www.roughcountry.com/product/toyota-20in-led-bumper-kit-71077

    however was disappointed with the light intensity.

    Found heretic https://www.hereticstudio.com/collections/light-bar/products/20-inch-amber-led-light-bar. However it’s a pretty big price jump and maybe you get what you paid for.

    Plan was to install behind the vent between the fog lights. Want something better than rough country, but not break the bank. Was wondering if anyone install a light bar they liked or have and not hurt the wallet. Lots out there and looking at reviews on company websites seems to be one sided.

    any suggestions would be great.

    Rough Country…..I sawed out all the plastic in front of the light on my 2nd gen and the change in light intensity was massive.

    I just had a Baja Designs S8 20” hidden light bar installed. It’s pretty sweet. I got yellow and it has amber backlight that’s wired as a running light when the truck is on.

    Baja is definitely a good unit. More expensive, and more off road oriented.

    I don’t know if I dig the back light. Just because I already have grill and fender markers. Might be a bit much. Post a pic tho’

    I have a Diode Dynamics I first installed on my 2023 1794 and then uninstalled and installed on my new truck.

    It was a very easy installation I did myself following the YouTube instructions.

    As ipaddick noted the light pattern and output is awesome, you won’t be disappointed if you go with them.

    Here you go. My phone kept putting a ghost image of the ditch lights for the picture with them on. I definitely don’t have floating light pods by the tires :rofl:
