Curtis Reed Report post Posted October 12, 2020 I was considering putting a light bar on the Ranger for driving the dark FS roads and trails but I couldn’t really find a good mounting solution I liked (I don’t have the Pro Fit bars). I wanted to keep everything stock so I could return it to original config if I ever needed too. No mods, drilling into roll bars, etc. I ordered a 55w 5000k HID kit from DDM Tuning instead. Does anyone run HID’s in their off road machine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted October 12, 2020 I like you didn't want a real aggressive light bar so did two things. 4" rock lights that installed with literally one hole in the bracket that holds the radiator. But I still couldn't stand those yellow freaking headlights and bought the JDM LED replacements. Super easy installation and just as white and pure as light can get. I'm really happy with both. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted October 12, 2020 I put led in my Ranger and it was amazing! Hardly need the light bar now. I think they ran about $80 for the pair, but worth every dime. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n2horns Report post Posted October 16, 2020 Go with Rigid lights, get a light bar 20 inch and then run some 4x4 dullys for ditch lights and 1 for back up lights. Spendy but well worth the money and abuse they takes. I run a ton of these on my trucks, im afraid of the dard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted October 16, 2020 These cost $45. No chance I’m spending $500+ for Rigid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Select bulb style for your specific machine. I used the 5000K temperature bulbs. The 55W are almost too bright (almost). I had a guy flash his high beams at me the other day because of them. But they will be the bees knees on the trails. They also make a 35W kit. Best part it’s only $44.95. https://ddmtuning.com/Product-Categories/HID/HID-Kits/DDM-HID-Kits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n2horns Report post Posted October 16, 2020 Yep stick with the 5 to 6k in lights, otherwise they start going into the blue spectrum and really are worse as you loose visible light and makes it harder to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
