I'm trying to decide on some new exterior lighting for my ride. Either a 52" LED light bar or some Smoked LED Cab/Running Lights. What do y'all think?

Lightbars look great :deal:
Get a curved bar over straight bar, definitely, the curved matches the roofline perfectly.

Ooh with the HD front end and tow mirrors the cab lights might look good too... Makes it a little more difficult of a decision haha.
Yeah, the only reason I was leaning more towards the cab lights is because it would look a little more stock. Tough call, though...I like 'em both.

The only problem with the cab lights is that it's a shorter wheel base truck so that'd throw off the stock look, but I also put some on my 96 2-door so I guess it doesn't really matter. There are a few that run the bar and the cab lights but I'm not a big fan of it. If you do a lot of stuff in the dark then I think a lightbar would be the best choice.

Yeah, I just meant that it's a factory option for other GM products, unlike a 52" light bar. And I saw the one that had both the bar and the cab lights...waaay too much going on there.

Rigids new line of light bars. Hella makes some too I think. New design. The boxy basic look is out, finally thank god.

I'd go with the clearance lights. Think it would just look much better on the vehicle and would fit a more OEM look.

I don't know how you use your truck but I'm not sure a light bar would do much good, especially with Austin traffic.

Austonite, that front is awesome! I want to do my headlights and fog lights just like yours. Where did you get them?

Yeah, looks cool as hell, but I just looked them up...$788 for a 10" light bar. Ima go ahead and pass on that. The whole damn truck only cost me $1250 (before mods). I just can't see myself ever paying that much for lighting...unless it can somehow make sandwiches or dispense vodka.
