That one is $40 with 4.5 stars and 600 reviews. 90% of lightbars on the market are the same exact Chinese led bars that people rebrand on eBay, amazon, and (insert 4x4 website). You usually start seeing "better quality" light bars around $500 and People will argue that their over priced light bar is superior because it shines brighter/further and lasts longer but when almost all the people who buy them never use them, it doesn't matter and the cost to performance when spending more money is laughable. So unless you feel the need to brag at your local Jeep meetup or you build offroading trucks for a living, you don't need to spend more money on a led light bar.

First off as a reminder for everybody: if you guys could make suggestion posts self-posts, that would be great! I'll leave this here since you've already got some comments already and are off road in the picture. :)

Now...

Here is my wagon currently.

There's a pretty good amount of stuff you can do for your wagon. :)

Starting with protection, Primitive makes excellent quality plates that will keep your car safe from rocks and branches from stabbing into your under-body driving or if you bottom out. I highly recommend Primitive. They're excellent to work with.

Let's talk about lifts, now! :) There's multiple ways to lift an Outback. Subtle Solutions and Gorilla Off-Road Company both make 1" Spacers that allow you to lift without much (if any) correction to the suspension.

After lifting, getting an alignment is definitely recommended. Also note that 2" is pretty much the max for lifting our cars unless you're wanting to getting into dropping the subframe. SJR makes a lift that goes 4" and 6", but they increase in price significantly from the 2" model.

If you're looking for a lift that has some more on the road benefits, King Springs are another viable option as they have ~20% stiffer progressive spring rate that keeps the car stiffer on corners and keeps you from bouncing around off-road. They're usually put on new shocks and the most commonly used ones are KYB GR2s. There's a little discrepancy on how much they lift, but it's usually 1"-1.5". The King Spring + KYB GR2 combo will run you ~$900, which is a little pricey, but worth it if you're looking for an improved ride.

One last route to go (which I think I'm going to do these and regular height King Springs) is an SJR lift which uses metal lifting blocks found here. They provide a 2" lift and are angled to keep stock strut geometry which is definitely nice.

Lights are a place you can mix it up a bit. Hella 500s are tried and true and have a more "rally" look to them, but I recently bought this front LED light bar and absolutely love it. It's light output is ridiculous and it's great for the price. So far, no complaints. Just remember for bulb lights, circle lights generally put out more. :) Her's my top LED light bar as well if you're interested.

I got this roof rack and am very happy with it. It's solid and great for the money. They make an extension piece as well and a cargo net

Rally Armor Mud Flaps are useful for keeping the mud on your car down and also defecting rocks from your paint. :)

And last but not least, tires! I highly recommend General Grabber AT2s. You can go about one more tire size bigger than stock and still not rub. :) Tires are one of the best upgrades you can get for going off-road. :)

I hope this helps! :)

u/MikeINOPKS · 9 pointsr/GoRVing

Here are the rock light I used under the center. They seem pretty solid upon install and the initial use. I did run them through a hard rainstorm while plugged in and had no issues. I used two per side.

Here are the reverse lights. I have these on my boat and they have survived two years of dunking without any trouble. They make life SO much easier for pulling the boat.

Anybody know what the two black cylindrical objects above and attached to the handbars are? Lights maybe?

edit: nvm, they are driving lights.

u/founcingfoobies · 8 pointsr/CalamariRaceTeam

I have a drz with a mirror in the same spot. What you do is buy THESE. Take the bar end piece out and you have a mirror that can be mounted on the skinny part of your bars. Honestly the view from them is pretty shit and you cant really adjust em much, but I did it mainly for the look and its still good enough to see if there is something behind you

u/RossFMX · 5 pointsr/Jeep

Picked up these universal motorcycle mirrors from Amazon for $10. With a longer bolt or modification of the mirror bracket they bolt right on. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is looking for some affordable mirrors.

u/SuperEnduro · 4 pointsr/XVcrosstrek

SSD lightbar and amazon special LED lights.

They're plenty bright, but they don't really make great driving lights. It's hard to focus LEDs as well as a halogen beam, so they act more as flood lights. Gonna relocate my plate soon and throw some pencil beams in the center, so I have some good throw and also good flood on the sides and top.

The cool thing is that I connected it to a 12 volt USB relay module which is connected to the Raspberry Pi running Octoprint. So I can use the API to make the light turn on when it begins to print.

Might be great, might be crap. No idea. If you want the same size at a guaranteed quality-but many, many times the price the ARB 21s are solid.

u/nvrmissashot · 3 pointsr/motorcycles

I use these. They work pretty well, and look pretty good for the price, but what you need to do is take some thin rubber tubing and rap it around the core before you put them on the bike. This gets rid of most of the handlebar vibration making them very usable. You get anti-vibration mirrors for ~20 bucks when you will spend well over 50 if you buy "good" one out the packaging.

u/NeedmoarCCs · 3 pointsr/klr650

I get asked every time I post a photo of this bike! I stole the idea from Everide, but I mounted it a little differently than him. Here’s the light on Amazon

u/Schrod1ngers_Cat · 3 pointsr/XVcrosstrek

Parts List:

  1. Attach the clamps to the roof basket.
  2. Mount the light bar to the clamps (I ended up having to buy longer screws than the ones included with the light bar).
  3. Run wiring harness out from under the hood through the drain hole (I had to slightly enlarge the hole with a drill). Slide heat shrink onto the wiring harness, then connect the harness to the light bar via crimping.
  4. Attach the wiring harness to the battery. Test the light bar at this point to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Screw down the relay and seal the heat shrink.
  5. Remove the rubber grommet and run the wiring for the switch through the firewall.
  6. [Optional] The wiring harness comes with a switch, but I wanted to use an OEM switch. I connected the switch listed above to the spare foglight plug using these instructions.
  7. Adjust light bar angle, zip tie any loose wiring and secure the wiring harness to the side of the windshield with silicone sealant (in the drainage channel).

    Hope this helps!
u/atetuna · 3 pointsr/flashlight

It'll be fine. It replaces a 60/55 watt halogen lamp. Most of those little light bars are about 15 watts. They are advertised with more, but rarely meet that rating. Here's one that's more honest than most that uses 24 watts each. Altogether that's 96 watts. That is more than stock, but that could be made up by swapping the other lights to LED. Turn signals are 27 watts each. Replace that with a 5 watt LED and you got 44 watts back, and is more than enough for these LED headlights. Convert the brake light and dash lights, and there would be a huge excess.

u/sixkelvin · 3 pointsr/battlewagon

Not sure which one OP is using, but there are a bunch of private label versions of the same product. Here is one:

They are Aux Beam ones off Amazon. I got them for $17 but it appears the price went up to $21. Still totally worth it IMO. Literally like two mini sun's strapped to the handlebars.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00T62RK1U/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As for the way I mounted them, I used the bolt that is holding on my barkbusters. It's super stable even after all the whoolies that have taken place.

u/grumpy_lump · 3 pointsr/motorcycles

It is an '82 XS400 special. It ran from 77 to 82. I have drag bars, but left all the cables the original length. The horn bracket got flipped upside down so I could access it/install a new one. I made a bracket that attaches to the bar running down in front of the engine to hold to LED fog lights, run by an auxiliary switch. Painted and wrapped the headers and have emgo shorty mufflers. Emgo pod filters, and a puck-style filter for the breather tube nipple. Led tails, led indicator lights, Upgraded headlight. Point of note on the headlight, mine was a sealed beam halogen. So to add a new bulb you have to buy an aftermarket reflector housing from candlepower.

EDIT: Also forgot Oury grips, cafe mirrors, new fuel lines, fuel filter and vacuum tube.

I think about where a car might lurk if it were stalking me. Then I point the mirrors there. I put on these cheap bar end convex mirrors, the field of view is ridiculous.

u/ErectricCars · 3 pointsr/ebikes

this is the headlight I Attached it using duct bracketing and the rear light with this switch all running through this DC converter

Once you have a DC converter picked, you can basically just get 12v whatever you want from ATV, car, motorcycle etc. This is just the stuff I used.

u/Motocid · 3 pointsr/CalamariRaceTeam

Best bang for the buck? Cheap Amazon bar ends for $10. Here. Same exact ones that they sell at my local bike shop for $90. I mount them under my bars like this.

This particular pair takes a little while to ship, so I usually order two because I break/lose them a lot. Cheapo is the way to go.

u/RuthlessGravy · 3 pointsr/battlewagon

[This] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WE47RP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is the light bar, and [this] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0155W7EDS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is the wiring harness.

u/OverlandSubaru · 2 pointsr/Subaru_Outback

light bar mounts, universal 1” tube, adjustable.

YitaMotor 24” LED with wiring kit.

This is my testing set up and it works out well. I’m running the Yakima Load Warrior. Obviously the bug splatter is from last weekends road trip to Santa Cruz and back. Pretty bad wind noise at 80-85 because of the roof rack but not a noticeable difference with or without the light because it’s down so low. I am going to move the light back a bit on the bracket to keep the leverage down on the bracket. Being this low and this far back completely stops me from being blinded by the light bouncing off the hood.

I need to trim the Yakima wind deflector so it will fit with these brackets. That will drop the wind noise a bit.

Next up is removing half the interior so I can figure out the best way to run wiring into the roof rails. Want to keep it waterproof and winterproof. Not big on the standard reply of running the wires up the edge of the windshield. That’s ok for temporary but not permanent.

It's a 20" cheap light bar from Amazon. I mounted it by drilling one hole in each bumper support (bottom inside the bumper cover and supports the front bottom lip. Two plastic pieces that stick out.) perfect height and enough added light.

u/MisanthropicZombie · 2 pointsr/mazda3

I am one of the luminous idiots with a light bar in my lower grill(2017 3) tied to my fog light switch.

You can do it but you need to make sure it is not pointed far forward/up. I would suggest you tie it into the fog light, but using the high beams is an option. The problem comes about if the high beam circuit can handle the additional load. Each light will add 4 watts(really 3, but add safety margin.) so a total of 8 watts and 6 amps requiring a 7.5a fuse or the stock fuse +7.5(so 20a fuse stock, 30a fuse with lights). How you can get around this is by using a relay that gives ground when the power to the high beams and power coming directly from the battery with a 7.5a fuse. So when the high beams get power, it also grounds the light pods and turns them on without adding strain to the high beam circuit.

Another option is to use the fog light circuit, this is a great option if you don't have fog lights and is easier but more expensive. You swap a stalk with fogs into the car and wire into the fog light sockets and it will turn on when you turn on the fogs. What is great about this option is that it gives you the ability to use the high beams independent of the light pods and vise versa and because it uses the stock switch, you can have a cleaner install as you don't need to put a button anywhere. You can do the relay trick if you already have fog lights.

Personally I feel the narrow style of light pod like this would look better in either the upper or lower grill as it has less of the stock grill blocking it vs the square 12 diode model you linked to. Also for amazon links you don't need anything from the "ref=" onward, so your link should look like this: https://www.amazon.com/6000-6500K-Breathable-Driving-Motorcycle-Warranty/dp/B07FNFWFDD/

u/Guttrshark · 2 pointsr/Dualsport

I didn't do them, but the lights look exactly Like these and for mounting they're just bolted through the plastic all shoddy-like.

Also they make a HUGE difference. The stock light is pretty much useless. I have a video ill post when i have time if you'd like to see.

u/downhillcarver · 2 pointsr/bikesgonewild

$12 on Amazon. They work great, you're not looking at your shoulder or elbow all day long, they don't vibrate much, they're easy to install, and cheap as heck.

Be warned, they look good, they work great, but the quality control may be lacking. My bike came with just one of the mirrors on it. I ordered another pair. One of the mirrors I ordered rattled loose because 2 fasteners were not torqued correctly from the factory. I'd fix it, but it's the fasteners inside the mirror.

For $12, these mirrors are amazing. I'd say they're worth $20. They also function as bar end sliders I discovered, now I need to order a new pair.

u/nutterbird · 2 pointsr/motorcycles
u/BigandStupid · 2 pointsr/vandwellers

Without seeing your actual rack it's a little hard to help. I found some bar clamps on Amazon that might work. You need to find something that will clamp onto the round part of your rack (assuming the bars of your rack are round) that has a flat mounting surface you can mount your solar panel to. Something like this. But for your size bar. I've never bought Relogy panels, but I'm sure there must be some kind of mounting holes on the back flange that you can bolt to. Use lock-nuts.

You'll be ok with one panel and one battery. If you decide you need a second one later, it does work to add another of the exact same type as long as you haven't trashed the first one. I've done it successfully.

A lot of noise is relative. The only noise it makes comes from the fan, there aren't any other moving parts, so I personally wouldn't worry about it unless you plan on leaving it running all night, which is definitely not advised with only one battery. But again, I'm no expert when it comes to inverters, so you should probably try to get others' suggestions.

I went cheap once ($12) and they immediately broke while adjusting them.

I have bought these 3 times for 3 different bikes.

Never buy these. It looks like the arm attaches to mirror with bolts, but it's actually just glued on. If you tighten them up properly it's very easy to break them while adjusting them.

u/goat03 · 2 pointsr/overlanding

I have been using these for awhile now and am happy with them, they have a flood version and a spot version so these would work great for the application you are wanting. I have ran them in the brutal Wyoming winters and have now been using the in brutal AZ summers, no issues: https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-Lights-Driving-Bumper-Warranty/dp/B00MDG14CC/ref=pd_sbs_263_8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=497149E4JTAMRXW1H90Y

Just unscrew the bar end insert from it, and then you can mount it to the bar instead. It's cheap, but I haven't had any issues so far.

I'm not entirely sure what exactly the multi-link is meant for as I didn't end up installing the lift. I was pressed for time so I had my local Subaru mechanic install it. He said it went on without any problems.

Yepp, stock rims plasti-dipped black! Currently, I have Blizzaks ws80s because I went on a cross-country winter road trip earlier in the year, but I will be replacing them very soon. Most likely a more Hwy friendly tire with a little bit of aggressiveness for the mud.

I really dig your color and keep us posted when you start getting down and dirty with your beast ;)

u/ThatDoucheInTheQuad · 2 pointsr/subaru

Okay, so, here is everything I used:

Light bar 28" flood/spot

Mount to 1" roof basket bar

Wire Clips

Wire harness, this comes with the bar if you choose the package. I ran the switch through the firewall wire grommet by cutting a hole in the grommet (BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT ANY WIRES). The wire that plugs into the car was run under the hood and up the window, secured by the clips. I followed this guys guide, u/DauphDaddy He didn't use the same harness but its the same idea. Hope this helps!!

u/myboardshorts · 2 pointsr/ElectricScooters

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0714CYKBJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

These come with some rubber spacers that are cut in half. We used one half for the top and bare metal for the bottom to make it fit.

Holdingitdown and I have the exact same setup. We turn on the lowest speed settings and lowest torque so we can't go over 24 MPH. We stay around 15MPH to be safe.

So far so good, the kiddos LOVE it!

Some idiot kid pulled his bike out in front of me at the absolute very last possible second and gave me nowhere to go. I went over the bars and straight into the ground and it seems my fibula broke my fall. Needless to say I've invested some good money in race-spec boots this time around.

u/Downvotes-All-Memes · 1 pointr/DIY

This is what I bought specifically so it came with a fuse and a switch. I wanted to put the switch back near the tailgate so with my tonneau cover on I can just open the tailgate, reach under the bed rail and pop the light on. But I don't think the switch is waterproof, so I might have to come up with a different placement for the switch. Everything else is wired with plenty of extra length.

Simple to install. You just screw it in and the 2 metal sleeves will expand and press against the inside of the hand grips. That's what should keep them in.

I don't have any experience with rock lights so I can't help. If you want something as flush as possible I would get a kit like this one which seems easier to install and more convenient.

u/ratbiker18 · 1 pointr/SVRiders

I hated these because... ugly. But worse is they are too convex, almost fisheye. Very difficult to gauge distance.

These however are perfect and look waaaay better Fantastic visibility and angle of view. The only complaint, as listed in the reviews, is that they may be loose in the actual mirrors ball joint and move in the wind. I cleaned mine up with alcohol and a swab and then hit the back of the mirror with some hot glue and it's perfect. It's still moveable but not locked in place.

u/taters_n_gravy · 1 pointr/SVRiders

Not sure how I feel about the shape of those. I currently have some bar end mirrors that are round. The only complaint I have about them is that one of the mirrors frame is loose from the neck piece that holds it. It sounds like similar issues to what people have with these.

Maybe I'll try some glue or something. I just would like some solid bar end mirrors. I don't care if I have to pay more for them as long as they work well.

Cheap and they work great

u/cancerousiguana · 1 pointr/fordranger

Sure!

Here is the link for the ones I bought, which are flood lights. They also sell these, which are spot lights, which I think I would go for if I were to do it again, as I think the floods might spread the light too much for on-road use. I'm actually considering swapping them over anyway and mounting the flood lights to the bumper to use as high beams.

I have them angled down about 10 degrees and they still shoot light pretty far up. I tested them by parking my dad's Accord at a normal following distance and seeing how much they blasted light into the rearview mirror, and my normal headlights were more blinding than the fog lights. However, I'm noticing while driving that it shoots the light very high and very far, so I think at longer distances they might be more blinding. I haven't tested it myself yet.

u/freezeman1 · 1 pointr/CherokeeXJ

This is the light bar. I chose to mount the brackets 14 inches apart, but you can slide them both the full length of the body of the bar, so they could be from 0" to 17 or 18 inches apart if you so desire. Was the cheapest I could find on Amazon with good reviews. It puts off more light than my high beams and has a bright spot in the center with a fair amount of throw to the sides. Obviously not as bright as the 50" bar on my roof, but I wanted something between my headlights and 50" in terms of brightness, so I'm pretty happy with it so far.

u/Mattjw4 · 1 pointr/XVcrosstrek

I’d say your best bet would be to get something like this. Seems like the easiest way.

u/igroplants · 1 pointr/ebikes

There is defiantly more than enough power to use automotive lighting. Let me phrase it like this. If you think about the typical power consumption of a tail light (mine is 40W at 12V), even with the addition of my headlights which are 18W a piece (supposedly) you’re only up to a total of 76W for the entire system. If we assume an inefficient driver we can round that up to 80W of additional power from your battery or a little over 1.5 A at 48V. Compare that to a 1000W motor running at half power (500W/48V= 10.4 A) so you’re adding a super small amount of constant draw (like 1/10 the normal drain) to have all you’re lights on all the time.

Love the look and functionality of the new. Previously the mirrors were the highest point on the bike so the bar ends make it look more streetfighter. Also I would have to lean to look around my shoulder but that's not a problem with these.

I plan on finding the size of the bolt to fit in the old holes and adding accessories like a phone mount or cup holder.

Oh cool, if i'd had known we could have done some duo v7 riding :) Maybe if the weather clears up again.

I used the stocks for about 2 rides before i replaced them, i didn't like them much. I'm more for a clear view. The bar ends are convex, so i see a lot in them, practically no dead corners. I bought them cheap in some motoshop in Aalst when i saw them on display. I just wanted to try if it would work. They are very cheap and are found all over the internet. Just search for bar end mirrors There are more expensive options, but i imagine these things are the first to break off... You have to take in account that the bars for the V7 are threaded at the ends (god, why?). So you either have to use the screw of the bar end weight, or use another M6 bolt to fit them on.

About the veering to the right, do you have it at all speeds and how hard? For me it's quite hard, i let go and immediately it veers to the right and within 3 seconds i have to take hold again, otherwise i'll just ride of the road.

Didn't know about the plate rule; will follow it next time, thanks for the heads up.

Great!

You are totally correct on the safety items- I intend to finish out with a few more steel studs and round everything in so it does not catch on people walking by the parked car, or on other things I drive by.


I will be putting 205/70/r15 tires on my 195/60/r15 snow tire rims, may need to figure out how to use a spacer if they rub on various components.


Would you mind showing me some sort of poor paint sketch of what you are talking about with the hoses/oil cooler/radiators? Or link an image for that matter.


Also 3 other ideas:

  1. I have been thinking about building a shitty home made PVC cold air intake (I need to replace my engine air filter anyway). Any thoughts on punching a hole in the hood and running that up in some cool and functional fashion? Recommended end cap filter I should buy? There are a lot of options here: http://www.knfilters.com/universal/universal.htm and I do not think I have any business spending more than $20 or $30 on that filter.


  2. Any thoughts on ways to increase the rumble of the motor without risking a ticket or failing inspection? Read about putting a spacer nut before the muffler, but that can from what I have read, land you a few hundred dollar ticket in NY.

  3. Looking at some external lights and these semi-junky things seem to be a nice cheap way to put some additional lighting about. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GC60QTA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A212MEDO528TGN

It varies wildly from one bar to the next. For example, I had this one from WoneNice for a while. It had a low pitch, but loud whistle which was rectified with these rubber dampers. That light bar eventually burned out (got water behind the lens) so I bought this one from nilight, which has a very loud, very high pitched whistle. I was not able to find dampers for it.

So you might not remember but you gave me a bunch of info and stuff on SV's when I was choosing what kind of bike to get and ended up napping a dope deal on an 07 SV650. The first thing I did was order those exact same bar ends from OP's post. They are pretty fuckin fantastic. Cheap enough that even if they break I don't really care but well made enough that they don't move when I ride. The installation should be really easy but without any instructions it has the potential to be a pain in the ass, youtube fixes that problem.

the bar ends are like a solid 8/10. So worth the ten bucks you can nab them for here.
