Lights to mount on ARB Summit bumper ?

[Silver-Bolt]

I am installing a ARB Summit bumper this weekend. I am looking for input on lighting to mount on the bumper. Based on measurements it should handle up to a 9" diameter light. I am looking for long range lighting with as much light fill as possible. In NW Montana the roads are very dark and the deer are like kamikaze pilots on December 7th. I am looking at the ARB Intensity & Solis, Nightforce HTX2, and Baja Designs LP9's. Anyone have feedback on these? Any others I should be looking at?

It sounds like a pair of BD LP9 Pros with a Combo lens is a great option for you… they have my vote, simply because I have a set in Amber myself

DRL functions, Side shooting LEDs for near range wide fill, midrange flood and far throwing spot optics… they are bombproof, serviceable and look great. It’s everything you could want in a light!

I have zero complaints about my LP9s, or almost any of the DD/BD products for that matter. One of my older BD OnX6 DC Bars ended up having some screws/grounds come loose internally, but that was an easy fix.

The pair of LP9s throw far and turn night into daytime. I wouldnt give mine up for any other light on the market, at the moment. Not to mention the Round aesthetic compliments the headlamps very well.

There’s a bit of some unscientific photographic light output shots on this post in the build thread - https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/the-boreal-badlands.48235/post-1820662

The Baja Designs LP9 are fantastic. We have them here at 4x4TruckLEDs.com - https://www.4x4truckleds.com/led-auxiliary-lights/baja-designs/lp9/

That's what I'd do if you want to buy the best lights money can buy.

I'm installing the Summit as well. I'm going more old school and going to install KC 6" gravity LED's. I've already installed Diode Dynamics yellow fog lights in the fog light location.

How is the install? Any tips/tricks?

Once I install I can tell you, my Bronco is built, but hasn't shipped yet. I've assembled everything I can without the vehicle. One hit install the tow hooks before the winch.

I will be doing a winch at another time. I did the preinstall assembly after work yesterday and heading back out to the garage this morning to finish the project.

I went with the Solis lights, they are awesome!

The install is done. I still need to add the big lights (haven't decided yet). Have to say, the bumper was a real bitch to install. I spent 4 hours on the two upper intercooler bolts alone. Now that I have done it I could save a bunch of time on those two bolts. The rest is just relocating and rerouting wires and sensors. Of course have the Lux package didn't help in that department. I am planning to replace the ARB turn signal/marker lights with small light bars making these my ditch lights.

After way too much research and over thinking I went with the ARB Solis 36's. Ordered from Northridge4X4 with their 10% off sale. I won't be using the dimmer feature and will connect directly to the upfitter switch. They should be in next week. https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/...solis-intensity-led-light-kit-w-harness-flood

I installed and ran the wiring for the ARB Solis 36 lights this weekend. I am waiting on a pigtail to connect these to an upfitter switch. From ARB they come with a dimmer switch that I don't want to use. Overall the lights are very well built. Cast aluminum brackets and housing. The lens covers can easily be swapped/replaced. Replacement lens cover are under $10. The wiring harness is OEM quality. I will report back with the light output once they are connected.

What's the distance between the the top of the bullet bar and the mounting holes? I'm trying to see if it'll fit a 9in light, which is probably gonna come out to 9.5 in total. Colight sharkx

The ARB Solis 36 is a 9" light. I have also had BD LP-9's on it without any issues. Plenty of room as you can see in the photo.
