Hi Terry,
I fitted one last year after the MH respray. I replaced the badly frosted spot lights with the light bar but it was more a case of wanting to put something back in the position on the bull bar as I don't travel at night in the MH. Having said that I had to flee from a bush fire one night and the light bar was great. I was very happy with the brightness. here is a link to the one I bought. I notice it has come down in price a little since I bought mine.

Please Note.
NSW has just brought out new rules re extra lights on the front of vehicles.
Check them out before you fit new lights.

Here is a link to the current WA regs re lightbars, I "think" most other states are similar but best to check.

Just won this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/23INCH-144W- ... 5b0581f3a0 for $80 delivered so I'll report back after the South Aust trip if it is as good as they say or not as good as the 2 driving lights

I guess I won't be visiting these guys soon. They are in Melbourne, I am in Qld. I must have mis-read that link from Craig. :oops:

It raises the question as to whether those who charge a huge amount for LED driving lights - $400 to $1400 -are providing a product that is superior to the cheaper versions to the extent that the extra money would warrant.

Yep I have seen the light bars I am getting made for 6 times what I am paying.
These are not like the spotties type, they are for under the awnings, but custom made, 1 mtr long for less than $10 each, bargain.
