That's insane! I like them. VERY nice.

Can you put them down for highway driving? I'll tell you first hand, when you have lights on top like that, your mileage will go down the crapper, and you are going to get some roof vibration on the highway.

Very little to no more noise on the roof at 65mph.. They do fold down a little, but not flat.

Gas mileage? I'm sure on the highway, itwill suffer for sure.

"Let there be light"........................

Damn those are some big @ss lights...and that's precisely why I love 'em.

Can't see 'em on anything other than an H1 or H2 though.....(mounted on top like that)

Not that you asked, but I think I like the clear lenses better with regards to the
overall appearance of the truck....everything matches...Am I making sense.

At any rate, nice, very nice.....

I like the clear myself.. With the lens thats on there now, its a VERY tight spot.. At 30 feet or so, its a 6-8 inch spot beam on a wall.. I ordered the clear "combo" lens that will create more of a "flood" light. I had the blue combos on last night and didnt try the spot.. I will try it tonight.. I am simply amazed.

I would expect them to singe hair out to 50 ft..............

Now all you need is a bit of lift and some 37's....

When driving on the highway, tilt them BACKWARDS.

What did you think of the overall installation and fabrication I did on the bar with the wiring etc?

Imagine these as "Takedown lights" All you need are a set of Code-3 LED modules (I have a few double wide blue/white and red/white and a siren if interested)




LC Led



Now only if I get the urge to mod out my H1 like this:
