Default 2018 XC300 headlight options

Been thinking about adding a headlight to my 2018 XC. Curious to know what others have used and what you guys like to run. I've been thinking about a 6 inch LED light bar over the bars, or the Trail Tech 7 inch LED...

Thoughts?

I have been thinking about this for my '18 XC 250 as well. Seems like you could run LED's directly off of the battery?

I run a cheap light bar from Amazon and it works great. Have it set up so it comes on and off easily. Don’t have a pic on my phone anymore.
Here’s a link to the light bar. http://MicTuning MIC-5DP30, SR-Mini ...=yo_pop_ma_swf

I have their older model 30 offroad floodlights and they are still working well after 8 years of use.

Awesome nice video! Are you just running them directly off the battery? Also, whenever you have time I'd like to see a picture of how you mounted it

Yes I wired it directly to the battery. I put quick connects behind the number plate so I could leave the wires in place. Mounted the on/off switch to the light mounting bracket. As for mounting the light, I just used the supplied brackets and slid them in the crossbar clamps on my handlebars.

A much better setup would be an old set of bark buster mounts
