Sweet setup
What brand of light you have?
So i have learned there are 2 type of lights, rigid industries which are really bright and really expensive but reliable. And then there are the cheaper ones amazon sell which are cheap but still do the job the best bang for your buck.
I have a 40" i yet to install in my pathy nice pictures

I got them off of a club member from a truck club that I am in. they are in the middle of the price range. The 50" is a 4d spot/flood combo. The pods are spot and the 20" is a flood. These lights are definitely for use when I offload and they help with visibility since i tinted my windshield.

I've been tossing around the idea of replacing the stock headlamps.

What type of projector headlights are you using?
Did you see any improvement after the swap?

What kind of mounting brackets did you use for your 50” light bar and how did you run it into the cab?

I used Morimoto projectors and did a retrofit. And I saw a huge improvement because the previous headlights I had were the crappy spyder ones that had crap projectors.

I used some brackets off of amazon. And I just ran it down the pillar to where the wires from the door go into the cab and made a small hole into the plastic piece around the wires and went right into the cab.

If you find some that fit the 08+, let me know ... I haven;t been able to find any off the shelf, only 05-07.

I'm just to install my 27'' LED light bar on roof, right on front part of the roof.... but I changed my mind after some test installs. LED light bar throws significant amount of light on hood and it bothers me. Glares too much for my taste.
So I will probably mount a bit backwards, maybe inbetween OEM roof rails, just behind roof window.

See if you can return it and get spot only.

I've found out that even with my spots up there they throw some light on the hood but it's no where near the amount of light from the floods I had previously.
