| Post subject: | Need opinions/ advise on lights |
I recently sold my 20" light bar I had on my boat, it was extremely bright but with the pointed now and being 20" bar I had to put it back farther which caused a bad glare off the bow, I was going to have some taller brackets for the bar but I want my lights as low profile as possible. I have thought about buying a HID go light but unsure if I want to spend 700+ on a light. My question is who has go lights and how much do you like them are they worth the money? I want something I can take on and off pretty quick and easy. And I do like the fact that it can be mounted right on the point of the bow to get little to no reflection. Any suggestions?? |

Get you one rigid dually spot and two dually floods. Make a v shaped bracket for them I got those lights off ebay for around $263 shipped. |

ive been running a go light and small halogens for years, ive never had a hid one but I don't think by itself it will ever be enough. I cant even see the golight when the 20" bar is on. hid might do better though. you can run a set of the d2 driving lights for forward view and run the go light for hitting the sides and forward. |

it does when you have a go light mounted on top of the bar! only time you will see that golight is when its out of the bars shining area. absolutely no need for a golight facing forward with a 20" bar. only time I would use the go light is to look out to the sides and ive got a couple ideas to get rid of the go light all together

not the greatest pic. A buddy took this with his iPhone hence the low pic quality. Plus the iPhone camera doesn't pic up ambient light. |

in a small canal like that my light bar does the same thing except the middle is waaay brighter. still looks like a good setup tho! |

Thanks. The middle is definitely bright. It is the spot pattern. However, two things are working against this photo. #1 Cell phone camera doesn't pick up ambient light #2 Light needs a source to reflect off of or you do not see all of the potential |

Full throttle those look similar to what I'm talking about. I think I'm going to get both spots and thinking it might be bright enough to light up the creeks too |
