Harbor Freight Roadshocks both up front and cowls.

For my use, these are completely adequate and weren’t crazy expensive either.

Looking at some prices for ā€œtop tierā€ lighting I’d rather spend mod money on other things. I could however see the justification if night runs were my thing.

They’re great lights. Enjoy. And they hold up great. I’ve had mine since 2021.

I have squadron sports on the bumper and roadshock spot/flood and flood on the chase bar

The roadshock have high and low, so I wired them to have the highs on when I have the appropriate aux switch on and flip the high beams on.

If I am understanding what you are saying - you can flip your #3Aux "on" and then when you flip the steering column lever for high beams your light bar comes on too? And when you flip your #3Aux "off" then your light bar is completely depowered and does not turn on even when you flip the steering column lever for high beams on?

That would be exactly what I am trying to do. Use the steering column lever for high beams AND LED light bar with the option to choose whether the light bar come on or off just using a switch...

Thanks!
I'm putting a pin in this for myself for later

Harbor freight combo spot/flood bar on the bar front hooked to an aux switch, Oracle reverse lights in the back bumper, not sure if it's a Tazer function but 3 unlock click on the key fob and all the back lights stay on, the Oracle reverse lights are awesome bright as hell, and about knee high so they flood the area and not blind you. I've got some additional light things kicking sound in the back of my head. Also same mount bracket as the light bar, I used for my diy quick disconnect trail flag mount, it's air hose fittings and JB Weld, works awesome.

I just bought some 6ā€ flood/spot combo lights that I’m going to mount on the front bumper. I’m going to use their wiring harness to wire to the aux switches, but it has a rocker switch to change between flood and spot lights. What’s a good place to put the rocker switch and keep a stock appearance. I don’t mind hiding the switch under the dash somewhere because I don’t see myself taking them off flood very often. My factory LEDs are stupid bright and the high beams light up the road for like 200 yards like daylight. Any suggestions on a good place to hide the rocker switch but still be fairly accessible? TIA.

You don’t have aux switches? You could go into the center console.

I do have the aux switches. I thought I said that. Just fixed it. Lol. I plan to wire to the aux switches, but the rocker switch is to change between flood and spot lights. Inside the center console might work. I’d need to figure out a bracket.

I have lights that have mains and marker lights. They also came with an on/off/on rocker. I just used two aux switches. It’s just so easy to wire to them under the hood. No wires into the cab makes me smile.
