Well it is and it isn't 35". I think they are the same light, just quoting different sizes in different adverts.

The measurements are metric and the actual light bar size is just under 32" at 80.5cm.

The total size is just under 35" at 88cm but that includes the brackets.

I measured it in cm against the car before I ordered it and it will fit neatly between the lights.

My light has just arrived and it measures 32" from bracket boss to bracket boss, without the brackets fitted.

It comes with no wiring harness or relays, just a 12" wire tail.

Hi, sorry for the delay. The light is wedged and help on by gaffer tape in the photos



I will hopefully a chance to look at fixing it next week. Think it may end up being bolted through to the grill rather than the metal work.

This is the one I got. It is 32" so may have had one of the last ones. No loom included.

Have you fitted yours yet?

I haven't fitted it yet. I am still agonising over where and how to fit it. I saw one that was fitted to the radiator mounts just behind the grill but I would need to have new brackets made to fit there.

I like the look of yours in the centre but I am not sure how I would mount it securely. I will probably end up just bolting it to the bumper, which looks most secure.

I bought this wiring harness because I wanted waterproof connectors. Not much point in having crappy connections when they fail the first time you go through the water. I also wanted it soon!

50mmx3mm steel bar behind bolted to the radiator supports and the light bar then bolted on. Only issue is the curvature of the light bar prevents the brackets from aligning straight so had to pack out between the bracket and steel slightly to reduce the stress. Not got any pictures but if it's dry at the weekend I'll pop the grill off and take a few pics.

I opted to go for the bottom bar on the grill as I quite liked the LR badge Laughing

Did need a bit of modification and 'feckling' though...also had two work lights added to the back which are super bright for the size of them, well impressed Thumbs Up

When it's stopped Censored ing it down I'll get some proper pics up Thumbs Up

Anyone seen these 300W 32" light bars using 5w LEDs instead of 3W ones?

^^^^
They won't help any more than the other LED light bars will (which is not much). More light alone won't let you see further, you need to shift the balance of lux to where you want it to get better vision. Thumbs Up
