Dual Lightronic light bar install on the Tahoe (HUGE improvement in long-distance throw!)

Описание: Happy Labor Day, everyone! I hope you're all doing well and enjoying an extra day off this week.

Today, we're going to be making a pretty big improvement to the long-distance lighting capabilities of the Tahoe by installing some high powered spotlights made by Lightronic. This is something that I've been wanting to do for a while, but I didn't have an excuse spend the money on it because the Tahoe already has a light bar. Well, after 6 years of reliable service, the old 30" Auxbeam bar has finally started to flicker on me a little bit. Combined with the fact that the lenses are horribly yellowed from UV exposure and the long distance throw wasn't all that great to begin with, the flickering was the excuse I needed to make some upgrades.

After drilling some new mounting holes and revising some of the existing wiring with Deutsch connectors (one of my favorite wiring upgrades), I installed a pair of 11.5" Lightronic light bars, with six very powerful LEDs per bar mounted behind some Baja Designs-style spot reflectors. Prior to the install, I also go over the process I use to weatherproof/dustproof all of my exterior lights using Loctite clear silicone adhesive.

I would have preferred to install a single 22" light bar with the same number of LEDs, but they aren't available in an all-clear configuration and Lightronic wasn't able to provide me with clear lenses to swap out. Not a big deal, just a couple more holes to drill. Anyway, I think the results speak for themselves. The throw on these things is extremely impressive, and it makes a big difference in safety when you're driving down a rural road at night in pitch darkness surrounded by deer, antelope, elk, and open range cattle (95% of which are solid black).

Time will tell if these things are any good, but so far I'm very happy with their performance. I'll be sure to post an update if I discover any glaring issues with them.

Thanks for watching!
