It would be cool if there was a bar that had 2 swivel points. Down on the left & right(to avoid blinding oncoming traffic), and up on the center to send that light beam farther down the road.
Other than that, multiple lights to make everything right.

Pics 1 & 2 is taking from inside of my truck, and pic 3 was taken inside my RZR they was parked 3 to 4 ft from each other, so that is the reason its to the left some, but all pics was taking directly behind the light source. also the light bar on the truck, I moved it several times when it was turned on for the best results, and honestly moving it the little amount I did didn't seem to have much effect on it surprisingly. I'm thinking about building a bracket like the jeeps where they come up your posts but I'm looking into it.

With the LED mounted so far farward u'll probably get alot of glare from them, esp with the Flood light setup. However, the brackets U have look great, I have mine mounted on the cross rails, zero glare on my hood, I dont like it much where it is but it allows me to get fully functionality, and makes my truck look taller from the back/front.

Nothing funner than getting out in the woods away from everyone and enjoying life! I've got to have a HUMMER in case the Polaris breaks down. LOL

Looks awesome! Any chance you'd be willing to make a set and sell one to me? I need something for the front of mine and the light bars are pretty expensive. I like the low profile look of yours and it seems like a simple install.

Plus if someone wants some light bars to mount LED's I could sell my old mounts.

Is your second outdoor night shot with the 'spot" function turned on ?
Is the spot function part of the light bar and can be operated separate from the flood setting of the first night shot ?

I ask, because that is a great feature if that is the case.
Very impressive.

if there is enough interest to build several I will gladly build them for people on here, however just doing 2 here and there that would make it allot of work...but I have something im working on that is going to make it allot better I think, its going to be a mount that makes it more like the jeeps

http://chuxtrux.com/files/Lighting/j..._light-bar.jpg

this will be very close to what its going to look like, My mounts will look much diffrent, im very limited to what I can bolt to, but yall will see monday or tuesday, im just waiting for them to dry. also I wont post it on here anymore i usually like to stick with 1 forum, im moving over to Club Hummer Offroad if yall are interested in seeing what they look like

No the whole lights bar works when you flick the switch.
