I've been toying with the idea of adding a light bar or prerunner bar or something to the front of my 2011 Pro4x CC. I was thinking something like the NFab Prerunner bar or their light cage, either of which holds 3 lights. I have a few questions, though.
First, what other options are there?
Second, how tough are these which screw through the existing bumper (and require drilling to mount) as far as install? My primary concern is getting it all level, of course, but also being sure its secure.
I don't want to go the LED route, and HID is far outside the budget, so I'd be using something like Hella or KC round lights, most likely. I'm not terribly brand loyal, though I've had good service out of KCs in the past on other rigs. So, thinking round and halogen, I figured I'd split between flood and spots, but if I get a bar with only three tabs, what are everyone's thoughts on which one to do single versus paired? Two floods on the outside positions and a spot in the middle? Or two spots with a single flood in the middle? And would you switch them all together or run a dedicated spot switch and flood switch, whichever way you configured the three lights themselves?
If you've got pics of your own setups from the front and side, I'd love to see them. Some of these bars stick out a long way, and might not be the look I want.
