So i want to start installing lighting. I'd like to install a 12" light bar on my brawler bar and the 2x2's on each side by the wipers. Question is, which should be installed where?

Flood 2x2's and Spot bar or vice versa? Which gives the best light output. Looking at the Rigid Dually 2x2's and there's good deal for $189 floods for a pair or should I mount spots up top and a flood light bar on the brawler bar?

Who has which set up?

 

Fogs are usless on the windshield mounts.

 

sorry, title should be spots vs floods

 

lol, yeah, messed up on original post.. corrected it... I meant to ask about floods on windshield mounts... still no good?

The only issue with lighting on the windshield mounts is "The Dreaded Hood Glare". So Spots tend to work better there.

 

Makes sense. So should go with spots on the windshield and floods on the bar?

 

That would work just fine. I prefer Driving Lights on the bar. They are an excilent compliment to your High Beams.

 

My way in the future plan for lighting:
All LED
Trucklights
Narrow beams on the A pillars
Floods on bumper
Floods to the left, right, and rear

Floods on the A pillar will throw too much light on the hood and fenders. Your eyes will then focus on that instead of what's down the road.

 

Cool, wanted the floods just because they come with the mounting hardware and switch but i guess i'd need to wire up the harness and my own switches anyway so it may come with parts that i wont use... they also have the spots for the same price with no hardware or switch...

Looks likes spots are the way to go though...

Thanks for the input!!
