The glare from light bars mounted high like that is quite amazing as well...
I have 2 8"ers on the junker. One at the front bumper mounted a little off to one side (cause unsymetrical is the new symetrical) and one mounted to a hinge and attached to the cowl vent so it pivots/retracts a little. This was done so the wind shield can still be folded down. Also have a set of round led lights at the w/sh hinges.
They will be wired to a set of stock light switches, 1st pull the bumper leds will light up 2nd pull both will light up. The second switch will control the w/sh lights, 1st pull a pillar will light up (like a cop spot light lol) 2nd pull both will be on.
The round ones do look better but i dont mind the bars much at all. Havent driven it yet so cant give any impressions. The bars are ebay specials with 4 10w cree bulbs in each one.

I may grow older but I refuse to grow up!
Was thinking about going that route for mine as well. The old yellow round eyes don't quite cut it. Best thing about LED's is you can run much smaler wires off existing circuits. Less power draw.
My son's good friend in Oregon is trying to get his business off the ground. I am probably going to buy from him.
I am going to give him a plug if you don't mind. He is a good guy working his way through college.

i actually like how yours is set up.... looks more modern all aroundI have 2 8"ers on the junker.

i just sold my 20" just looked out of place
Will also allow the hardtop to be put on.
Also converted the head lights to Hella replaceable halogens wired through a Painless Co. relay kit. I can see at night now.
Some of those light bars placement just look so wrong.
You mean "Cree" bulbs. If they're coming from China, they are 90% likely to be knockoffs.

Let me just drop this in here:

I thought about light bar, but decided to go with Truck-lite LED head lights. They will work just fine for me, way more light than the stock ones.
I got the one made from china (ebay crap), but isn't all the led light bars are made from china?
Bump... lets see who's added a bar/LED pod in the past two years.
Found a 20" Rigid E-Series locally for half price and I am considering jumping on it and replacing my Halogen Hella 4000 130w lamps.

This thread reminds me of the Hella poster from the 90's. The one that shows a rotted out '40 in the Aussie outback with a frilled dragon. I'd love to see that again! Simi hijack over.
