    Here are some comparison pictures for the light bars that I purchased through the OKLEDlightbars group buy here on TW.

    First picture is factory low beams:

    Factory high beams:

    20'' Combo beam LED light bar on bumper:

    405655FA-914B-45EA-B0D4-0DA615A9FD46-349_94b47354294bd590d053dbd05bf968bd12a33206.jpg

    50'' Combo beam LED light bar on roof + the 20'' on the bumper:

    F9FB05BF-BECE-4BF5-88BF-B380A13F94A9-349_032a8cf53923c9abc3a34b52f1236d02363d707c.jpg

    The mounts on the bumper are steel tabs and work great. The roof mounts I cut and bent out of aluminum. I am replacing them with steel due to the flex in the aluminum.

    Hood would still be lit up... Not as bad, but it might still be annoying.

    It does glare off the hood, but it is not so bad as to affect you. The picture makes it worse than it is.

    If you look at it, you definitely see it; but if you drive like normal you won't even notice it.
