RZR light bar

[Rbcconst]

Looking for light bar brands and different set ups. Where to spend the $ where not. Where to put amber and where to put clear.

1: looking for a 10” for the hood scoop. Is this worth buying a bd, kc, ect. Should this be clear or amber?

2: overhead light bar. I will run one for leading or whenever needed. My experience in glamis was it was pretty much useless if there was sand in the air and you needed to look up.

3: No pillar lights. If there a must i would consider but do not like the way they look at all.

4: chase light. Found the xprite chase light. Any pros or cons on colors? Looking at the RYWYR

Amber in the hood scoop, I would lower that light as much as possible. Clear on the roof

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

If you get a good one ( BD or Rigid) for the front you wont need the overhead one.
Xprite is nice, no blue if you going to go to Glamis...

On my last RZR 4 Seater I ran an 10” amber strobe light in my hood scoop as a dust light.

I had (4) 3” Pod lights mounted on my A & C Pillars. I could see a lot better with those than my 32” Roof Light Bar when there was any dust in the air. Keeping the lights below your sight line makes a huge difference in dusty night time conditions.

If money is no object go with Ridged or Baja Designs. Having Light Failures out in the Dunes can scare the out of you!

Low low low and Amber. I personally only run BD but i like to cry once and smile for the rest of the time.
My roof 40” is a dual control it’s amber outside driving and clear spot center, really never run the center. Can also make it strobe for during the day works awesome when leading.

Even with the amber lens?

Do you think the low amber is enough to lead at night or is the roof bar needed?

You really want a combination of Amber and white LEDs for night time running, because all white will tend to wash everything out and you will lose some depth perception. All Amber won't give you enough usable light for high-speed, unless you have some good high-end lights that are a combo spot and flood.

The single row overhead bars are really nice, and you can get one for around a hundred bucks on Amazon. They are very low profile, but put out a nice spread of light.

This seems to put out the most lumens. Do you buy clear with the amber cover or just amber?

Amber down low, clear bar up top. I also run pods on the pillars that have the side throwing LEDs.

I have a BD onyx on my shocks and 2 XL 80’s on the bumper, the onyx has a yellow snap on cover. i can easily cruise 50-60 mph and faster at night with this light set up

the xl80’s are clear - bumper light, the light bar on the roof is a complete waste, but it was free with the audio roof

This isnt my rzr but the same front end. What if I put a 10" amber in the scoop and 10" a white on the bottom? I assume I would still run a cheap light bar on top.

 

[DLC]

these are great lights & they produce a of light 2-4 lights on a Frt bumpers is a great light

2 middle light shine straight out Frt, and the outside lights shine outwards so good side vision.

I run a single row 10" rigid in the grill or my razor. It has the amber detachable cover on it. I run run a 30" double row spot flood combo on the roof of my cage. Its ridiculously bright

Lots of great advice here. My advice, do a 10" amber as low as you can for dust, Pillar lights are good to fill in sides, not 100% needed. Spend the money for good stuff in those 2 areas. If you want a roof bar, go with a China unit. You will rarely if ever use it in Havasu/desert at night unless you are leading or are alone.

Xprite Chase light is bad ass. Cant beat it for the money, and will give everyone behind you seizures. RYWYR is the way to go. You will need a harness extension for it. I had to extend the extension, so if you don't want to solder or add wire, buy 2 extensions for a 4 seat car.

On the new UTV I am just doing the BD 10" amber bar, up front, and came up on a set of BD Squadrons, so I am going to use them as pillar lights, but was not planning to do pillar lights initially. No overhead bar at all.

Amber on bottom. Keep the white in the scoop at the same level as your headlights. That will work well.

Is the 10” amber bright enough to run solo in the dust?

I like Baja Designs personally. Their ONX6 10" puts out a ton of light, but it is huge. The Heretic 10" light bar will fit in the scoop.

Another members TurboS with a Heretic 10" in the scoop.

You’ll need a light mount or a mini bumper to get a larger 10” light down low below the grille.


The Madigan half bumper might get you there. If you did the half bumper with 3 lights, you might be able to get away with the center amber and the sides white, or just drop a bigger 10" bar on it. The nice thing with the BD stuff is that they offer snap on amber covers, that are also rock guards. So you can run a white light if you want it, just pull off the rock guard.

The BD XL80s as shown are LEGIT. 3 of those is all you'd need.. 2 is probably all you need. I don't even think you'd need a light in the scoop with 2-3 XL80s. XL sports are cheaper and will work as well, just less power. A large 10" bar will mount to this as well, the ONX6 10" bar will work great in this position.

You might be fine with the amber in the scoop then, or a single 10" up front. Add more later if needed. A good 10 inch bar will adequate unless you are gonna try to go more than 50-55 at night out there.

What about a 10” amber in the scoop and a 40” roof bar? Im sure i could add another 10” bar later or xl’s

This setup ended up working great out in Havasu. Running the ambers in the dust and everything when it’s not dusty. No complaints at all.

Yep. Again, I wouldn't go nuts on the roof bar. Save your money there and get a china bar, if you are trying to maintain a budget.

I think every dollar you spend on low mounted front lights it worth it however.

Rough country has a single row 40” for $250. Then there are all kinds of others between 100-150 single row.

I ran the ambers on the roof and the front amber in the dust and they worked fine. The amber on the bumper is good, but if you are traveling at speed at night it does not put our enough light by itself IMO.

I've never been in that dusty of a situation to have a real answer. Based on the light output it has I'm going to say no it shouldn't be ran solo but I don't know for sure..

I felt that lighting was not worth cutting corners. As previously mentioned... go Rigid or BD! KC been making some nice stuff too but I have never used them so don’t know.

Amber in front bumper.
Clear on roof with spots and floods.
Amber chase light.

You may not like the post lights, however I found that putting a pair of Rigid D2’s in front wheel well is helpful. And another set of D2’s on the “C” post worked amazing when you want to see to the right of left of your drop off / hazards before making a commitment to your dune transition or even a dark trail ride.

If needed i would be ok with the pods that replace the head lights or on the bumper. Ive been told the c post location is great i just hate the way they look and would cross every other option before putting those on.

I would highly recommend investing in a switch pros...regardless of which lights you run where, a switch pros will give you the most flexibility with those lights. In high dust areas the ability to dim your lights will significantly increase your ability to see. FYI, I’m running a clear 50” S8 BD on the roof..amber XL80s on the A-Pillers and one S1 amber and one S1 work scene on the rear. I can have a reverse light, an amber dust light, strobe white/amber chase lights and a 50” day front strobe to avoid headers...and dim, strobe, constant any or all combinations as required during any variation of elements.
