40” Lightbar vs Pod lighting - Which is better?

[dthiss]

I’ve heard some folks being not too happy with the light output on the XL linkable. I mean looking at the lumen you can get a couple squadron pros that are higher output than the entire linkable lights but I’m wonder if it’s really that noticeable. Thoughts with your setup?

I actually asked Baja Designs if they’d be willing to do a linkable kit with the XL80s and they would do it but being a custom kit it would cost quite a bit and is usually only something they’d do for trophy trucks. That said I wish they made linkable setup with a bit more power..

I’m not unhappy with the light output. I have them pointed slightly down and they still go pretty far. I use them on back roads on the occasion I drive the truck to work. Done want to serious blind any on coming traffic in the time it takes me to get to the upfitter switch.

Thoughts on the outer pair squadron, the center XLs? Use 2 different switches.

I like uniformity when it comes to lighting. Which is why I’m on the fence about a light bar. The rest of my truck is pod lighting but I think it looks a little off with larger and then smaller lights side by side.

Well then it will come down to your personal preference. I have round, pod and bar on my front end. I am fairly OCD as well but this set up doesn't mess with my head.

What bumper is that? Now I have to decide if I want a new bumper AND lighting. Thanks.

Dude!? what’s next, triangular lights?
You have some serious ADHD going on here. round, square, rectangular. Your truck is like geometric chaos.

Pick a shape and stick with it, already.

Ditch the LP9’s and stack pair of 30” Onx6 bars there.
Pull the xl80’s and mount up a 3/8” piece of steel, and you should be able to get 2x 30” Onx6 up there. or you can center mount a 50”.
