I recently installed a @MandRautomotive M&R 30" light bar PRO on my '24 Badlands with the mod bumper and wanted to provide a quick review since I couldn't find one on this specific light bar when I was shopping around.

https://mandronline.com/products/2021-ford-bronco-modular-bumper-30in-light-bar-pro

To get right to the point, I love it, it's a great light for the price, and would I recommend it to anyone.
  • I picked this model instead of the 40" as I liked the more compact look better and didn't need the 40". I also chose the Pro model over the regular one as the LEDs were advertised as more focused with TIR optics.
  • Install was super easy. Two bolts to get the brackets on the mod bumper and four smaller bolts to get the light bar on the brackets. From there, you just run the wire up the behind the bumper and up near the battery area to get to the factory aux wires. It's three wires: power for primary white light, power for amber backlight, and ground.
  • The lighter does not block the front camera at all. You can see it in the camera, but it does not extend beyond where you would normally just see the bumper.
  • The light is bright AF. The outer four lens are diffused for a wide angle while the middle four lens are a focused spot pattern.
  • The amber light is cool to drive around with when you're not running the main light.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with this light. I'm not doing any high-speed desert runs so this light is plenty for me to light up the occasional backroad or night trail ride. It's a good compliment to the BD Squadron Pro/S2 SAE White/S2 SAE Amber triple setup I have in the mod bumper pockets. For those wondering, my Aux switch setup is:
  1. M&R Light Bar White
  2. BD Squadron Pro
  3. BD S2 SAE White
  4. BD S2 SAE Amber
  5. M&R Amber Backlight

I’ve been tempted by this one for a long time before it fits inside the safari bar. Pics with the light on? (Bonus points for day & night pics with the amber - I can’t tell if I’d want that feature)

Yeah, I'll try to get some pics. Been too cold here in MI for me to stand out there with my phone at night, lol.

I have the M&R 40” and Cubes. Good bang for the buck. Amber and white light fits my Bronco Raptor perfect. Also added some Oracle 8 piece rock lights, I have 4 more on order.
