Default LED lights

I have a 01 ram 1500. I'd like some input on buying and installing light bars? Difficult to install, they come with instructions? And which ones do you recommend? Thanks! If you got pics of your installed set that would nice to see too!!

Difficulty all depends on how you mount em (I have 2 pods on my grille guard, has predrilled holes on it even) and how good you are at routing wiring. Proper way to do it is to use relays and all that jazz but if you're like me and wire like a hackjob, LEDs you can often get by with a switch being the only thing between the light and power. Honestly, I probably have no business doing my wiring like I have but oh well. I suggest do it the right way. If you need help with how to do that, youtube ChrisFix and how he did his reverse lights on his ranger. Very good info there.

Depends on your skill level. Not hard to install at all if you know what you are doing. Yes, they should come with instructions for wiring and mounting.
