Harbor Freight 42" Light Bar Install

[Mr.Clean]

Shame me if you must... lol. But I'm a fan of some of the Harbor Freight products (Badlands Apex 12k winch, lighting, etc.).

For $149, it's not bad at all. Actually, it was less than that with a -15% off coupon.

Running it on my Aux 2 with no relay.

Did a review and install video here:

Tips and comments are welcome. TY.

Aside from changing the video from portrait to landscape, etc. I think you did a real nice job.

Can we get a picture at night with some on/off shots for comparison to see how much it lights up the trail?

Thanks. I'm no Mr. Beast when it comes to making videos. lol Had trouble with my GoPro and had to switch to iPhone, and without thinking, vertical happened. Anyway, hope the content is helpful.

Yeah, I need to get it out at night sometime soon. Will update.

How about a couple still photos of it installed to get a look at it.

Did you measure the actual current draw by the light? Also when you finally get it on at night how is the pattern? Especially the vertical. Does it do a better job of lighting up your hood than the trail? And if when tilted up above the hood does it mostly light the sky? My cheapo light has a wide vertical beam and though seemingly very bright, in practice it is not as good as the Bronco’s high beams!!!

I've done a follow-up video with a night test of the Harbor Freight 42" lightbar and Auxbeam 5" amber floods. I also go through measuring the current draw to see if Aux 2 (15A) is adequate for the lightbar.

So far I just have my mom and my dog subscribed to my youtube channel. If you appreciate the content, please give a like and subscribe!
