alta light bar

Alright. I think Im gonna invest in the alta light bar. I can figure out how to install it, but im curious if anyone who has it has any opinions on it. Also, is the stock battery alright to support the added wattage? thanks

Use mine all the time. Love it. Mine are switched so that I can turn on 2 (aimed more for driving) or all 4. Lights work when at least my parking lights are on. I also have afront license plate on. Between my Borla exhaust and the Light Bar at night you know that gemini has arrived, or is comming!

Mine is in the front. I modified a plate holder I had from a GM car. Pm with an email address, I'll try and get a pix to you, although it might be Monday befire I can do it. It is an awesome mod.

How complicated is the wiring? I would like one in the future but am unsure of any included wiring/splicing/soldering.

Wiring is very easy.

I have just two lights, because of my front license plate.

See my (very basic) how-to here: http://web.mac.com/jonnieoh/iWeb/My%...%20How-To.html

Jonnieoh, that last pic of your car in front of the sunset is absolutely incredible! I need something similar to that of my car to display in my room.
