thanks, yeah smittybilt, n-fab, and some other company make pretty much the same light bar.

Nice and clean I love it. I really love the build of the PIAA lights even more than my KC's.

thanks i really light all of the features of these lights, like the white led. the only complaint i have is the covers. if you do it just right you can pop the cover off by barely even pressing on it so i might be putting a dot of silicone at the top of them to hold them on better.

Very,very sweet! Your truck looks so much better with the new setup. Your latest mod is my next mod for sure. I just need to mount some scopes on my AR-15's first.

If you look at my sig, they are the lowest lights on the bumper. The covers are pretty good at staying put.
