I have ordered the H11 LED headlights from Auxito. I have those in my truck and haven't had any problem thus far so thought I would try them. I would like to add a light bar on the stock front bumper which the opening is I think 16", was wondering what a good brand was? I don't necessarily need the cheapest thing out there. My son's and I have a motto "BUY ONCE - CRY ONCE", so if it's a good product I would like to take a look at my options. Thanks for adding me to the group.

Huge difference. After reading several posts on this subject I thought it sounded like a good thing to go with the fanless option. Included pictures of the new tint as well. Went with 25% on front windshield with a 5% brow, and 10% on all the sides and the back. AC worked great before and works much better now. Thanks to all the other memebers posts that helped me make up my mind on stuff. 1

Im just wondering does yours have a whistling/whinning at 45 mph and above I haven't noticed any. I added the extra rubber molding around all the door opening on the buggy to prevent rain and dust from having a way to get in. Maybe an area that needs to be sealed up is where what your hearing is coming from.

Check them out on the rough country web site, comes with the brackets you need for the defender and everything. Wiring was simple since Can Am run several accessory wires for us.

Can you walk me through the wiring you did? I am looking for a "plug and play" option for lights exactly as you have mounted.

You will need tie into those because they go through the firewall and the other ends of those wires are behind your panel where the ignition switch, and other rocker switches are. Remember which colors you tie into. There is a bus bar with two studs behind the panel you have already popped out, left side is ground, right side is hot with the key. Follow the directions that come with the light, you will have one hot for the light bar, one hot will be for the driving light that will come on when the switch is on, other one is the ground. If you get your rocker switch off Amazon follow the direction that comes with it. Pretty simple plug and play, hide your harness the best you can. There are two holes beside each other under the hood, I used those holes to mount the relay's. I will comment of the back light later today. Good luck, don't let it intimidate ya. 1

I’ve heard some whistling on mine but figured it was wind related since it’s when windshield is up.
