    You need to make/buy a plate that goes under your lightbar that will block the light from hitting the hood. Paint it flat black and you should be good to go.

    It’s my understanding that those only work with straight bars. No?

    I wonder if they are available elsewhere. Sounds like the guy started burning people. Taking money and not responding.

    Fabrication might bit a bit more complicated with a curved bar, but it’s still just a baffle that blocks the light.

    Probably just got in over his head and couldnt keep up.

    Honestly, though, the fab doesn’t look that hard. Hardest part is the curved section, but totally possible for a DIYer

    might have to look into it. I just don’t want it to look bulky and “un-clean”.

    Although, it would be cool is someone made a light bar cover/glare shield. Something with a hinge that could be folded up and locked into place a a cover than flipped down and used a a glare shield when doing a night run...
