There are tons of options. You can spend any amount you want. Practically priced suggestions?

I have 2 brands on my ranger, rigid and eyourlife. The rigid are the 4" cubes and about $150, the eyourlife is a 25" bar and was $65 from amazon. Been happy with both.

Rigids are very good. But they are also very expensive. There are many cheaper light bars and they are all very bright. I have had condensation in my cheaper ones and a couple of bulbs go out but for the money you can just buy a new one every year or two and still come out way ahead.

Where are you looking to mount it, and what length? I've heard good things about kawall, eyourlife, and nilight....I need to add one to my ranger before the season, I just haven't done it yet.

Under suggestion from a couple of friends who have them I ordered a 22inch for the front and two cubes for the back from Arsenal yesterday. Both come with wiring harness complete with rocker switch. $120 total. I'll update everyone once installed

I've had several off brands. Only issue has been water ingress. So the biggest thing to me is the water proof rating (IP). Best you can get is IP69K. Settle for nothing less IP69. Pick a brand name that's the brightest one in the size you want that has that IP69 rating and you'll be fine. I say pick a brand name, because if you have an issue, they should replace it. The Kawell's I got off Amazon were replaced by the mfg when I had an issue.

How hard are these to wire if you purchase the wiring harness? Not too good with electrical wiring.

Most wiring harnesses are simply plug n play. Very easy, just take your time and youll be fine.

Stang,
I put two rough country cubes on my exmark a couple of months ago. They work great. No complaints yet.

Dawg-N-Duck,
The harness that came with mine was fool proof. Ground, red and black!

JD,
I don't know how to post pics, but mine are mounted to the front portion of my mower just above the deck. There are actually several holes in the metal and all I had to do was bolt them down and run the wire. No drilling or riggin needed.
