Is the light output good?
Better then two 6 inch PIAAs mounted on front bumper?
Legal to have on along with heads on road??

not legal to run renny lightbars on public roads depending on local/state regs it may not be legal for you to run the piaa's There's a thread that's for the most part up to date where you can check viewtopic.php?f=3&t=44310 edit: didn't realize you were in IL, as long as the piaa's have dot stamps IL will let ya run them, just make sure they're aimed well |

That is some serious candle power you got there! I have only used my Renegade light bar once on the road for an extended period of time and it was I29-50 in Alabama divided interstate with no traffic around at 4 am. Just as a general question...do you pronounce PIAA like peee-yaaa or pee-eye-ay-ay? |

Or you go "DIY".....  4 100 watt KC Daylighters up top on a homemade light bar that cost about $50 to make. Compare that to the approximately $400+ for a Renny bar, plus lights, etc. A-A-A-AND....... I happen to know someone who does wiring.....

For what you pay for a Rene light bar you can almost pay for a great looking rack and then mount some lights down lower that would not hit every tree limb you come to. Lights are about 1/2 inch above the roof even though they look higher

Ditto on 500's not producing enough light 5 couldn't make as much light as 2 Hella Rallye 3000 Compacts, It looks as tho the lights in Tomms pictures are Hella Comet 200 or 300's. It's skewed tho so maybe they are something else. |

I have 4 Hella FF300s on the Rock Lizard rack in front, the out side ones are wired together and are angled out to the sides a little to watch the sides of the "back" roads, two center ones are wired together as well aimed straight ahead Rear is two FF100s on the rack, not the best pic but you get the idea

There is a guy over on Expedition Portal who has compared a ton of lights even headlight replacement bulbs hence why I switched to the Phillips X-Tremes Can't find the post right now ( at work) but Hilldweller is the guys name there. Also Overland Journal did light test back about a year ago. If you like to read look up Daniel Stern Lighting he has a ton of info on replacement bulbs etc |

I have the renny bar on top and 2 hella 500's on the front bumper. They do fine, but if you have to ask the answer is "no you dont have enough". S |
