Looks like the same ones that I bought. Mine have shipped and I should have them at the end of the week. Can you show where you placed your switch?

I plan on using a generic auxillary light wiring harness or just pick up the parts needed from an electronics store. I don't need the plugs since I plan on soldering the wires and covering with heat shrink.

I just ordered the 20" single row LED light bar from tuff stuff bc they had an 18 month warranty where most other affordable brands have a one year warranty. If they perform well then I'll also get two of the 6" floods

I'm using the Cree led 18w spots I got 2 for $60 on ebay. I tied them into the fogs with an inline fuse. They are stupidly bright! They will blind you if you look right at it and it lights up the trail perfectly

How far are those trees you're lighting up? When you get a chance, mind doing a low/high/all on pic? I've had some of these pods on my watch list for quite some time and I need someone to push me over the edge

I have Aurora spots on my windshield and a 10" bar for my bumper that is waiting for my laziness to subside so I can install it. Very happy with them, and the wiring is well done, uses WeatherPak connectors and quality stuff. I did can the cheap switch in favor of OTRATTW switches instead.
