I'd be leery about a light bar that plugs into my cigarette lighter because of the size of the wire feeding it.

Edit: Maybe the lighter plug is just a switch?

Can’t find it on website (anyone got a link?), but it does say “w/controller”, so maybe it’s just some wireless switch.

Unless you have a modular bumper, finding a way to secure it anywhere (not counting double sided tape) might be hard to do.

If your looking for an inexpensive light bar. Try Nighlight. You can get them on amazon, they have kits that include the wiring harness, pods, bars etc. I've been using them for a while. I once had moisture build up inside the lense on a 20" bar, I emailed them to buy a new seal and they sent me a new light. Cant complain at all.

I'm sure it's worth every dollar.

It's probably just like all the other chinese lights, pukes out some blotchy light and gets condensation inside. Something suitable for extra backup lighting maybe.

You tend to get what you pay for.

If you’re going to get a light bar to use off road, go Baja Designs. Yes, expensive, but it will turn night into day.

Isn't Menard's a grocery store?

I don't think the modular bumper has mounting points spaced to 14". The closest spacing is for a 32" bar, which I used to mount a LasFit. On the plastic bumper you can drill and mount wherever you want. With upfitter switches you also don't need to worry about relays and fuses.

Unless you are doing actual high speed Baja racing or heavy duty rock crawling at night or are simply after the looks I disagree with this statement. I have had many trouble free years with offerings from LasFit, Nilite, and AuxBeam, at less than 25% of the cost of a Baja, KC, Oracle, etc. If all you need is to better see a trail while you are moving at 20-30mph the above are more than sufficient and will last a long time.

More like a Walmart. I don't think they sell food.

It's a magical place. Sort of a Home Depot/Tractor Supply/Ace combo. We don't have them out west and I miss them. (At least that's what it was 25 years ago when I was last in one.)

There is not enough info in the ad. I will have to go look at it in the

You are probably no wrong about that.

Yup, the one near us has had a plywood supply that is bigger with more selection better than the local lumber yard.
