East Coast Bullbars Market Share Analysis for June 2026

We're often asked how to add lighting to your ECB Bullbar or Nudge Bar. One of the main reasons people fit Nudge Bars to their vehicle is for adding extra lighting as the majority of OEM vehicles don’t accommodate for extra driving lights. This guide will help you identify the best solution for your requirements and how to drill into alloy to add lighting to your Bullbar.  ECB Bullbars  East Coast Bullbars are manufactured to accommodate extra lighting straight onto the main 6mm thick alloy channel. Today, as lighting comes in all shapes and sizes, there are no pre-drilled holes on an ECB channel. Whether you want to fit the latest set of 200mm (6”) driving lights or 22” (558mm) LED bar, your ECB Bar can accommodate both.
