OK, I got one of these mini LED light bars as an auxiliary back-up light for my Jeep....

Only problem is, it's more of a spot than flood. Directly behind the Jeep is bright as day but to the sides there's very little light.
Anyone know if there is any kind of add-on lens that will diffuse the light a little wider but still keep the brightness?

The home stores sell the diffuser material for home interior lighting. You might be able to just glue it to the front of the light.

Not sure if u can return it, but I got this 20" off amazon for $29 that's a flood and spot.

Light on in pitch black.

Guess "diffuse" may have been the wrong word. Reflect may be more appropriate. I'd like to redirect some light to the sides.

That's not bad, but I have mine mounted on top of the 3rd brake light. That one would be a bit big for there.

I'll see what's at the Bantam Jeep Festival for a small flood.

Well.... I ended up finding a similar one but in a flood flavor on Amazon for $12. You can tell it's lower quality than the one I first posted about, but that one was $40+.
The ones here at the Bantam festival look to be the same as the $12 one and they are asking $30.
I'll get this new one hooked up sometime next week and see how it works. Probably end up putting the spot one on the front bumper.
