Defiant Light Bar

[CRuth]

I picked up my Lightforce lights from Central Four Wheel Drive. Whether they are cheap or not I'm not sure. They had em in stock when I was ready to install

I think most of the better quality 7-9" lights are around $100 a pop. If you shop around, you can occasionally find the Hella 4000 lights for $85-90, and maybe even better if you get one of the discount coupons from one of the online places.

I have over $600 in my light bar and lights. 3 Hella Ralleye 4000's, harness and the bar.

just installed the 3 tab bar over the weekend. I was impressed with the look and construction of the bar. Now I just need the lights, can anyone suggest some that won't break the bank.

Solteks about 110. 00 each.

If you know how to wire a relay, the Hella harness is a waste. And the switch is too ugly to use. I got one of these harnesses from a friend, who bought it and didn't use it. I also chose not to use it, so if anyone needs one, I have one for sale for less than half price!

Yes and no. If you do harnesses often and you have everything at your fingertips I might agree.

The harness comes completely ready to install with the matching plug-in connectors, the relay attached and a quality Hella switch. I drilled a hole in my dash in the space on the left side of the steering column for the switch. It just so happens to be the same color as the rest of the stock switches on the dash. It looks factory. I have mine wired to only come on when the high beams are on. The switch only allows me to turn the lights off.

I think the harness is well worth the price. Count your time into making one than come back. Couple hours for us who don't have everything at our fingertips and the harness is already paid for.


BTW those Sustek lights do look great!

Hey JDerbedrossian,



The Solteks look Awesome!!!!!! Now that you have 4 of them, and if you had to do it all over again,... . would you still do 4, or 3 ???? Personally, I like the look of 4 better !!! I would like to get the same set-up in the near future, and was wondering how you went about the wiring ?? Did you use the BajaDesigns harnesses ??? I'm assuming you had to use 2 harnesses . . ?? Was it hard to wire, and what kind of switches did you use ???

Did you get them directly from BajaDesigns ??, or do others sell them ??

Any other info would be greatly appreciated !!!!!



Thanks, Randall

I like the looks of the 4 lights also,but to work on the truck 3 allows me to climb up and still be able to work around them.

Jake you are going to have to remove 2 so I can run your valves

There should be enough room for your feet to slide between the lights:-laf

Well Mine is on order, I'm a cheap SOB, so I got the three light one. Paul said he would send some extra taps so I can mount some lights below the bar.

Did you adjust Jakes valves?

Yup all done, and they did need adjustment. Wish I had my camera Bob was basically in the engine compartment and his knees were taking a beating#@$%! . Thanks Bob for the help truck sounds better and smoother now.

Bob,



Got your response on "another site", thanks. Do you or anyone else know, if they make on for a second gen? This is exactly what I was looking for.



I hope I don't have to buy a 3rd gen to buy this bar!
