    Hey guys, I am having trouble finding up close pics or videos with this combo. I am interested in seeing the beam pattern at night (driving/combo) and also up close pictures with the clearance of the lightbar and Prinsu roof rack. Can anyone share some pics or videos? :fingerscrossed:

    I don't have a front facing night shot with it on, but it's SUPER bright.

    Does the light bar get in the way when something is laying on the roof rack or is it flush with the crossbars?

    It's mounted to the front track of the first crossbar. Sits flush with the tops of the bars, but then again I don't have anything that extends forward that far.

    I don't have the cutout fender either. I have my fairing mounted in the bottom set of holes and the light shines over it just fine as is.

    I appreciate the info. Thanks man. Do you have any issues with the light reflecting off the hood?

    I wouldn't call it an issue (in my opinion) but it does illuminate the hood a fair bit. Doesn't really hinder my visibility, probably because I don't have the cutout so it limits downward lighting, but having a white truck it can get a little bright.

    Okay, so my Prinsu will be here this weekend, so will my Baja harness and the S8 Light bar. Did your light bar come with the mounting brackets or do I need to order these separately? Just trying to get everything ready so I can install this weekend.

    It has A pair of brackets, but not necessarily the ones you need.

    I made mine from 2 1/4 carriage bolts, some spacers, and some nylocks all out of the Lowes hardware aisle.

    Looks like they come out of the right/passenger side. That's good for me because I have wires routed on the left already.

    Yes, the connector comes out the passenger side.

    I was thinking, couldn't you flip the light over so the wires are on the other side? You would have to flip the lenses over too.
