Thank you very much :)

The output is amazing. How high is the beam pattern? It looks like it has a nice beam pattern so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic.

Thanks again
No way you can use it with oncoming traffic. It will for sure blind the hell out of them

Do you think with them mounted in the lower part of the bumper would make a difference? Maybe aiming down a little as well?

I drive down two lane country roads and hate having to turn my highs off and on every time a car comes by (even though some people don't seem to have a problem blinding me with there high beams, hah)

Thanks

The nice thing about the LED bar is is can be adjusted in small increments to get you a precise output angle.

I should have head on shots tomorrow. Hopefully the head on shots put it into perspective.

My wife and I are having our second baby, a boy this time, on Thursday so I am getting side tracked every time I try to do it.

Congratulations, that is wonderful news. Post plenty of pics after, of your new baby of course.

I'll tell you a quick story off subject. My wife in the last week or so with my sone would have random pain. I really wanted him to be born on the 5th like me and on that night she did the oooohh he is kicking pain move and I said let's just go to the hospital. She did not want to go. We were already in the car so she had no choice but to go. 15 minutes after we go there we were in emergency surgery. Little mans heart rate dropped really low and he was basically fighting for his life we had been at the doctor just the day before. He was to be due on the 12 th. Got really lucky. Moral is even at the last lap take everything super serious at this point.

It was life changing.

Seems like no mater how much you think your ready, your not.

I'm glad to hear everything worked out for both of you, it's never an easy thing when complications happen durning a birth. My wife and I experienced that roller coaster from hell with our daughter. On a positive note Shane was born at 443 am at 7lbs 9 oz and 20". Both my wife and Shane are doing great. Can't wait for the long journey with him.

I dont think you are supposed to subject babies to direct sunlight.. :smoke2:

Install looks sweet.

Congrats on the addition to the family! Very cool.

Oh and the LED light bar looks awesome. So bright! Very nice. I want one of these on my Tahoe.

Night time head on shots

Not sure how much it puts it into perspective but here it goes

First pic regular headlights and fogs non HID from about 40-50 ft away

Second shot with light bar turned on same distance

If I was a car coming toward me I would not want that pointed at me, nice thing is I can adjust the beam to be pointed down if I want.

Thoughts?

I would want to point that thing down some So you can illuminate more of the road surface directly in front of you.

But it's probably because our biggest threat out here is potholes not road kill.

For sure. I knew when I installed it that I was not going to be using it on a regular basis. I am for sure going to adjust the angle though so I don't blind oncoming traffic.

How's your baby doing?
No new pics yet?


Oh yeah, I can see that blinding a few people hah.
Now you need to take those two same pics from the drivers point of view.

Driving down 2 lane country roads, this would be great. You'd have enough time to turn them off when oncoming traffic is in sight. That's exactly what I need. The adjustability would help to.
