ARB Deluxe Bull Bar Bumper Lights

[Snobum72]

Looking for suggestions for LED lighting on a ARB Bull Bar front bumper on a 2013 LC.

I have been unimpressed with the halogen bulbs (H3 bulbs) that ARB sells for their ARB Bull Bar Front Bumper and wanted to replace with LED lights.

Has anyone done this?

Appreciate any suggestions.

I assume you're talking about the fogs & turn indicators? I have the Slee ARB LED Light Brackets which is shown on their homepage currently. Huge improvement using the Rigid Dually's for the fogs, but also nice to have the LED's with turn/indicators. Others have the same light/bracket and did the install themselves (I had Slee do my LED install with the bumper itself) and others have another vendor's LED light with similar feedback. But, from what I've read, the install is pretty painless.

Definitely go with Slee's brackets and Rigid lights. Install wasn't too bad, and the gains are incredible not only for function but looks as well. The standard setup looks very dated, but Slee's upgrade makes it look far more modern.

I have Stedi ARB LED fog/DRL drop in replacements. They are super bright, can be integrated into the factory fog light switch, and don't cost a rediculous amount of money like other options.

While I don't have the Stedi fogs...I can vouch for the QUALITY of Stedi products. Their X-type driving lights are beast at about 1/3rd the cost of ARBs when you figure in the included harness. They survived the deer strike--needing only a minor adjustment to re-aim them...and they are BRIGHT (!!!) with excellent throw distance. Stedi makes some great stuff. Surprised they are only marketed in Australia...but even with shipping to the US, they were still 1/3rd the cost of the ARB Intensities.

I am very happy with Slee's upgrade. I ordered a pair of amber covers for the fogs for inclement weather. You won't be disappointed.

This looks great!

I hate to revive an old thread, but my ARB fog lights burned out. I am ready to upgrade to an LED bulb, but not sure where to buy.

One option you might consider using Slee's fog light adapter and use some Rigid D2/Dually in fogs/driving/spots depending on your need. It's a bit overkill compared to your question of just replacing the ARB bulb with an LED option, but the finished product may be well worth it. I have this setup and very happy with the performance.

just getting back to this project, anyone know where I can buy the Stedi kit? ARB LED Fog Light Replacement Kit

they seem to be out of stock on their website, and have been for quite some time.

I am in the USA, if that helps/hurts.

I’ve only found them to be available from Stedi. When I got my Stedi lights about 1.5 years ago, they also were out of stock for a couple months. I just put in for them to email me when available, and got them when they showed back up.

Stedi is a smaller company that makes great products, but to compete with the big names, their build process requires them to do big product runs in relation to how small they are as a maker.

Worth the wait in my opinion.

I understand, I signed up. It is very appealing to have a basic plug and play solution, or appears to be

It comes with a nice harness that’s for sure. I modified the harness to run half of it into the stock fog lamp harness so it operates just like the stock fog lamps and switch. While keeping the other half of the Stedi harness to run as an independent DRL. I really like how it came out, and the only modification I made to the 200s wiring was converting the stock fog lamp plug to a Delphi connector.

I used the Optimus Halo from Vision X. 3" square ones... Outstanding...I also have the SLEE ARB bracket. Excellent product as well!

 

[Snobum72]

Upgraded to the Slee ARB bracket with ARB LED indicators and Rigid DOT fog lights.
Very happy with this choice.
Of note - had to move my Winch controller away from the radar sensor - aesthetically not ideal, but functional AND no more annoying PCS not available warnings.
Thanks McGaskins for the suggestion.

Sorry, got busy on a couple things and haven’t been on the site in a while. I had a rock, bad luck or something bust a light, so I just put in a new set of arb fog lights while I wait for led ones.

@Taco2Cruiser where did you order these? I am swapping out my head lights and fogs, ordered the IPF H11 LED headlights from Morris 4x4 but can't find the Stedi LED Fogs anywhere in the US. Thank you sir

 

[SchobTime]

@Taco2Cruiser nm just read your comment on contacting Stedi - I will go that route as well

 

[wsudu]

I too am waiting. I just bought a combo bar and my OCD really wants to put lights in but I want those LEDs. Stedi says "end of June" so hopefully that still is true. I wonder how much shipping will be to the US.

 

[SchobTime]

I haven't heard back from them yet. Late June may be a non-starter for me. I may go with the Slee bracket and the Rigid Dually lights. I already ordered the ARB indicators (they are in route)
