Led Light bar behind grill
Hey guys, I want to put a 20 inch led light bar in the slot right below the grill. I narrowed it down to 2 :
20inch 120W CREE 10-30V Double Row LED Light Bar Or 120W 12000LM Cree LED Spot Work Light Offroad Lamp CAR Truck Jeep 4WD UTE ATV | eBay I figured more lumens is better and the single row will fit better Any suggestions? |
I saw a Mercedes this morning with the double led bar in the grill this morning.. Defiantly did a double take on it...,
|
It's for a 2010 chevy silverado
Thanks for your quick response! |
A very cool idea, but you might run into some trouble given the wattage, unless you put them on a separate switch. Most states limit it to 55W (forward beams) Then you can call them "Off Road Lights" ;)
PS: a couple other things... That 120W equates to 10 amps, so a fairly heavy Switch would be needed, and... 60°C is 140°F, so, don't get them too close to the Radiator, then... It didn't give the dimensions, but they (either) look pretty large, you might have a problem with Air Flow, so be careful about that. |
I have already wired a separate switch with a 12 amp fuse. They should have enough air flow because I have a aftermarket bumper that lets more air in. Thanks for your option!

LED's do not use the same amount of current as a conventional incandescent bulb they are about a 1/10th or less... just fyi

That Is true if you are replacing you driving lights but this puts out 10 times the light as the head lights and is for "off road " use |

Let us see some pictures when you get it lit ! :) PS: in2pro That unit has about 40 LED's drawing 3W each, so it really is 120W/10A. (if he used the first one) If he used the second one, it has 12 lamps, so...10W each. Now, I'll grant you that either will/should put out a lot more Lumens than a standard Incandescent 120W/12V Lamp. |
Ok I'll post some when I get it installed!

Have you checked to see how you would get replacement Lamps ? |
