Nice. I am sure the bumper plastic would long give up before then.

180w?! For an LED? That doesn’t seem right, especially for the price. That is 10s of thousands of lumens (18000 lumens as a rough guess). Sounds too good to be true, I must say. (I was being a bit facetious with the 2 amps, but 15a seems a lot: maybe it’s true. I’d but an ammeter on it, myself).
EDIT: I found the one that @RANDAL CHAO added on Amazon. there's a lot of conflicting information. 540W, 72,000lm, 18000lm, 2.5 amps...But then, it's only $80 bucks...

You are right. There is a lot of confusion. A top of the line brand can have the same LED’s in them and get better performance through their reflector, build quality and lens materials. Then they ask more for it plus add a lifetime warranty and parts availability. Cheap chines lights can be very bright minus the above. Baja design claims 6,450 lumens for every 10” of single row light with their best LED at 63 watts and 5.25 amps. So the math is sound. This might be a quality light. Baja design has a laser chip light that is 350% brighter with a marginal gain in draw. But $1600.00 per 10” of bar. These guys give out real information as people are depending on them going 110MPH in the desert darkness. No name brands from Amazon and eBay are out to sell you a light and make a buck. And that’s good for us as most don’t need $20K of lights on or rigs.

Just some pics of the light for reference 
My driveway is 200’ and these houses r on 2 acre minimum lots. This thing lights up the house all the way in the back, pic doesn’t do justice.

Thanks BigH
When I get mine installed I plan on doing a drone shot from the top comparing the stock headlights, bar and my A-pillars. I started to mount mine this weekend. I need to get longer bolts and some nylon spacers to put in the bumper gap.

Yup, that’s exactly what I ended up doing as well. Longer bolts and stainless steel washers with self locking double lug nuts.
That aerial comparison will be great! And mine is angled down to shine mostly in front of me. I also ordered the pod lights as well, will install when the arrive.

Not sure they will fit, but I’ll figure something out and get em installed.

They should, I have SDHQ mounts for a Gen 2 Raptor on mine. These two little are super bright. They are Rigid though

Definitely interested. I messaged them about them and they said they weren’t sure they would fit. Very curious how they work out for you.

Yup, I messaged as well and was told the same thing about those and the light bar. So I got the bar to fit, and am optimistic about the pods as well.

Even the Raptor Switch Pro mount for the Gen 2 Raptor fit. Fire wall is the same. Fenders are different.

How did you do your switch panel inside

Nice, what brand/ do you have any links?

This is the Switch Pro 8 switch panel. I used a short Ram Mount to hold it. A ball on the dash and switch panel with the shortest arm.

@Fozzy, what Rigid lights did you get? I have the SDHQ mounts but no lights. What was your purpose for them? Spot, broad beam or combination? Have any opinions?
I have the Rigid DSS Pro’s in a flood beam. You usually use your A-pillar lights as ditch lights. Turned out wider than your main lights.
