Need to upgrade the lighting on my rhino before the season gets here. I know several of y'all bought light bars off of amazon a year or so ago, and I was wondering how they were holding up and which ones y'all would suggest and where to mount it?

I bought a couple of the cheaper ones 20" from Amazon and I'm happy with them but I do have a couple of bulbs that are out. I think I paid $59 for them. Condensation does get inside them tho. I bought a set of the rigid duallys earlier this year and they are very good. They were $159 for the pair I think.

I have Cree LED pods on my pickup and a Cree LED 20" light bar on my 4-wheeler. Both were purchased of amazon at a very good price. They are extremely bright, easy to install, and seem to be holding up well. I have had them around 6 months. You will need to purchase a wiring kit separately (also sold on amazon).

When you search for them, add the term IP69. IP is "ingress protection" and 6 is for dust proof, 9 is for the liquid ingress protection of "Powerful high temperature water jets" .

In other words, IP68 is "waterproof" for submersion up to a meter. IP69 is way more water tight.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but I want to put one on my golf cart. Can I use the wires and switch that my lights are currently on?

I put this one on my war eagle before alligator season opened...We ran it 10 nights in a row anywhere from 6-12 hours each night and it worked great. Only time will tell how durable the light is.
But for 65 bucks... if it craps out tomorrow I will order a new one and mount it where the old one was mounted.

Been thinking about doing the same with my cart. I have a 48v Club Car... so if you do this in the near future, let me know what route you went.
Thanks.

I'm just happy to see that you secured the light bar to the boat!
Good job OSP!

There are a ton of sellers on Amazon that carry the Cree lights. Just find one that has a 4-5 star rating and has a competitive price. When you select an item, scroll down on the page and it will have a "buyers usually purchase these with this item" and that is how you will find your wiring harness.

I had to buy a new battery charger and noticed light sets for various golf carts on their website...
www.golfcartgarage.com Think it is more than just add the on lights but they are specific for each type of cart.
