I went budget on two cube lights from eBay 2 1/2 years ago and a 20" Amazon bar over a year ago and have never had one problem with either. All have Cree LEDs. I maybe have $100 in all my lights.

I recently purchased the 4" cube A pillar lights spots and Floods through Amazon. The lights look good and are solid. They work as stated. Only complaint the I have is the nuts and bolts. The supply hex head nuts and bolts in stainless. I would have used carbon socket head screws with washers and nuts.

overall a good light.

I had a budget of $2,100 to get two steel Hard Rock steel bumpers and a light bar for my Rubicon.
The guy that sold me the bumpers didn't include the brackets for the rear bumper and I had to get them from the stealership ($284).

So I got a 20" Auxbeam foe the front bumper. I am pleased so far and if it gives out, I will get the Ridgid one if I can afford it.
I got the light bar for very bad weather driving.

You need to detail your engine compartment.

I agree with that comment that he needs to detail his engine. I detail mine once a month from March until I can't take the cold in winter which is usually in the beginning of January.

a clean engine compartment just looks better.

I got a 20" light bar mounted on my bumper, I have about $100 too in the bar, switch, and A pillar mount.

I did not have $500 or so get the Rigid bar. If the Auxbeam gives out, at least I have the switch and wiring in place, maybe I will be able to get a Rigid bar then.

I am happy with the Auxbeam at the moment.
